I know exactly what you mean mate, I don't know what to do with myself when I'm off the gym!
Thinking of getting a pair of these for my sprinting.

cheeky sod! i didnt die on wendler, my +set for bench in week 3 was just not where i wanted it to be and i had a feeling my OHP was going to fall behind as well, i had my reservations that i wasnt ready for the program so scrapped it.
+ i am not a robot pretending to be human! or a freaky mutant lol
Don't worry, I'm dreading my OHP attempt too! Although Im enjoying the programme as a whole.
oh i wasnt worried, i just didnt feel that i was doing enough on the program.
I decided to go on a cut instead to really hammer down my BF%, once that is finished i am going to bulk and do HST and see where i can get to by the end of the year.
Goals are Squat 150 for reps DL 160 for reps and bench 100 for reps
current lift maxes
Squat 150
DL 155
Bench 100

Tough conditioning work out last night.
100kg sled pulls 20m then run back and pull it back the 20m (on grass - not easy).
100kg trap bar farmers walk 40m
24kg KB swings x12
30kg sandbag burpee to clean and press x8
Rest for 3 minutes and repeat the above 4x
Then 3x12 windscreen wipers - ouch.

Maybe for long distance runners. I'm only planning to use them for 20 minutes of running on the treadmill 4 times a week.
Sorry but I'd agree with Nightmare - 20 minutes four times a week is an hour and twenty minutes of high impact usage! Remember that old adage "buy cheap, buy twice"? Well, if your knees are hurting in a few weeks time........
Not only knees, my left ankle always gets sore if I run.
Although now I can't really run anyway haha.
When I did, I regretted just ordering some nike running shoes online.

It's actually about 6-7 minutes of actual running. It's also on maximum incline to lessen knee impact.
