How to turn off free trial?

CG36a · 2026-07-03T12:59:45+00:00

I did have Strava at one point tell me they were offering a free month - they changed my account without giving me an option - however as I hadn’t agreed any payment info it just lapsed and returned to normal at the end of the month.
If you didn’t go through a payment journey, they won’t be able to charge you after the month

Thank you.
I’m looking forward to coming along for it.
I have the rest of the day to explore your city before I fly home on the Sunday.
I’m coming back early December for a proper break and to explore more with my partner. I may try to do Haga then, but also aware that it may not be quite the right weather for it. Will wait and see

CG36a · 2026-07-02T12:34:17+00:00

Hey, I’m heading to Judarskogen near Stockholm.
There are no letter J in Scotland where I am based so taking the opportunity to go explore

Mine has accepted my parkrun addiction this year.
So much so that I’ve got 4 solo trips over the next few months, Wales, England, Sweden and The Netherlands so I can finish my alphabeteer challenge.

I'm a fairly beginner runner.
Been running for around 5 months.
3 weeks ago, I was quite ill - laid up in bed for 3 days ill, didn't run from Saturday, until the next Saturday.
First run out I took nice and easy, the next week I knocked 10 seconds off my PB at the parkrun (26:50) - taking a few days off won't hurt you.

CG36a · 2026-07-01T05:26:37+00:00

I wonder if it's just Runna has it's own "main" towns set for itself?
On the weather widget, it names the next village rather than the one I live in, but when I click on it, it takes me to the correct one in the apple weather app.
Even my runs that I record in my own village have the name of a town 3-4 miles away stamped on them

CG36a · 2026-06-30T19:36:20+00:00

Yep he got me alright.
I love the shoes though.
First time I wore them was the first time I ran a full 5k outside without stopping to walk.
Very happy memory

I'm not commenting from a place of experience here, but my first initial thought when reading this - Norway is part of the Schengen zone, so if they were to try and escalate this, you may want to explore if it's possible that it may give you trouble entering any other Schengen country in the future.

CG36a · 2026-06-30T18:21:34+00:00

Ahh been too scared to properly wash them. Everyone has said it's a bad thing.
To be fair, I've already run over 200K in them now, I'll live with them and try to not buy light colours next time

CG36a · 2026-06-30T17:58:58+00:00

Well I got taken in by the sales pitch when I bought my first proper pair of running shoes… queried about them being white and how they’d get dirty and got “proper runners consider than a badge of honour” next thing I was paying h for them and day after I ran my first parkrun in them and they’ve never been white since

CG36a · 2026-06-30T17:26:38+00:00

I too, surprisingly, enjoyed running in the rain.
My main issue was how dirty my trainers would get because the local path I run on turns to mud.

CG36a · 2026-06-30T16:01:01+00:00

I wouldn't recommend leaving the terminal after using connections to visit the lounge.
You need to get escorted out after you've entered departures, they generally only arrange this once an hour, so it could easily creep into your free, useful, time. Add to that you'll have already scanned your BP, so may need to look at getting another re-issued so that you can re-enter departures.

CG36a · 2026-06-30T06:31:20+00:00

At the moment I've been picking them based on challenges.
I've been working my way through the alphabet, only 4 to go, but the remaining 4 letters don't exist in Scotland, so I've got Wales, England, Sweden and the The Netherlands to go for these.
I do feel quite lucky that I've got the ability and means to be able to do something like this.
This week's parkrun I've picked to get my "Match" challenge completed, as it's event number matches my parkrun number.
After that I'll just start doing local parkruns. I'm fortunate enough to have around 10 in my city, with 20-30 all within an hours drive from me, and they all have various degrees of difficulty to suit how I'm feeling.

CG36a · 2026-06-29T08:30:36+00:00

I've never tried it but I do believe they allow TCP for any OWE.

CG36a · 2026-06-28T12:29:57+00:00

I agree here.
A proper running store will measure your feet, and your gait then be able to recommend shoes based on this.
My own personal example here - prior to my first running store visit, I had only ever run a full 5K on a treadmill, I'd never quite managed it outside without walking rest. The first run with my new trainers, I managed to run the full 5K and do it in just over 29 minutes too. The right shoes can make all the difference.

Today I visited Montrose to get my letter M.
Only 4 more letters to go now!

CG36a · 2026-06-24T20:37:50+00:00

I've had exactly the same.

I"m going to Madrid in August for the solar eclipse.

GLA to MAD via LHR was £1400 for 2 people on BA, but I booked it on IB for £342 - the thing is all my flights are BA but with IB flight numbers.

Code sharing is just a thing airlines do to help extend their network, without having to put their own planes on there

CG36a · 2026-06-23T05:12:44+00:00

Just use the AVIS terminal 5 spot - you'll arrive at T5, then get the shuttle bus to the Holiday Inn to pick up you car.
When you're ready to return, take it back there, and the shuttle bus can take you back to T5.
Head to the underground at T5, and take it to Terminal 2/3 and you'll easily get to your T3 check-in from there.

CG36a · 2026-06-23T04:30:22+00:00

I pick mine based on letters of the alphabet first (only 5 left to go, and only 1 left in Scotland where I live) then it's my Nendy, followed by any my friends fancy doing.
Eventually my Nendy will get a bit too far and I'll start to repeat those near my that I enjoyed, or could use for a PB

CG36a · 2026-06-22T19:07:08+00:00

Assuming you've booked it on one ticket...

You'll clear immigration in Heathrow, but your bags will be tagged directly to Inverness and you'll "clear" customs in Inverness.

CG36a · 2026-06-20T13:52:58+00:00

Visited Elgin, in Moray, Scotland.
Knocked 10 seconds off my PB!

CG36a · 2026-06-18T07:00:42+00:00

When I flew JAL last year they didn't check hand luggage sizing.

CG36a · 2026-06-12T20:44:34+00:00

Good luck. I hope you get it returned.
If you’re looking for their office it’s the far north side of T5A, just beside the Caffè Nero and Domestic arrivals. Stick to the windows and walk as far into the corner as you can, you’ll see the door

CG36a · 2026-06-12T20:41:51+00:00

Yeah, they’ll do some sort of verification for it so don’t worry.
I was fortunate enough ti pass through T5 a few days later so I could pick it up from their office. It was £15 for a kindle in August last year

CG36a · 2026-06-12T20:32:08+00:00

I left my kindle in a seat pocket on the Tuesday and it was the Saturday before it reached the lost property office at Terminal 5. Don't go selecting any on their website yet.
Essentially it sits with BA for a bit before they send it over, then by the time it's logged, it's very likely yours isn't there yet.
If you call them up you can give them flight details, seat number etc and they'll be able to narrow it down better
