They feel weird. I have feet as far out as I can in the rack, about 3.5 feet, and squat. They are never deep due to balance and they don't require much weight. My version of enforced moderation.
Spot the 'deliberate' mistake on the post link.
Spot on! The issue with typing up the workout the morning after. The run however is from the date in the link.

My target is to get back to running 8mph again. I am in switchover territory where my minute mile and miles per hour can switch around really easily. 7.5mph is 8 minute mile and 8mph is 7.5 minute mile.
My days of 9.5mph are well behind me. When my main activity was distance running my speed was 10mph (6 minute mile) and I could do that solidly for pretty much as long as I wanted, longest I ever ran was marathon.
However that was back in the days when I was around 9 stones which is 126 pounds, now at around 1.5 times that weight there is no way I am going to be that fast. In fairness I should be glad that adding half my weight has only lopped off a quarter my speed, of course that would involve me being reasonable, and I'm not.

Take one crazy old man, add a sprinkling of exercises he hasn't done in quite a while, add the fact training for the last month or so has been a bit irregular at best. Voila one achy old man who's really not looking forward to the effect of running on his traps and back in general at lunch time.
Short version, I am getting back into training properly again and ache like heck.

I'm terrible in a sumo stance. I've always been told that whatever you can deadlift in a close stance, you'll be able to deadlift more sumo. Just by default. To the extent that you can never train sumo, then do sumo deadlifts and they'll be bigger and heavier and stronger. Contrary to such claims, I think the most I've sumo deadlifted is 100kg, and that number ain't climbing without some dedicated effort (which I feel no compulsion to do -- my thighs already rub together all the time, I don't want more muscle on my adductors).
Between seizures, illness, injuries, work and home life, I think we've all done our fair share of "irregular training" this year.
