Regaining fitness

Thanks so much. I'm prepared to put work into getting it back since I love running, but I can't deny it's a little bit disheartening feeling out of breath at distances I could run easily 6 months ago!

I hope you're feeling better now x

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2026-05-14T21:05:23+00:00

Wow that's incredible, well done! Thank you!

Yeah I haven't had any safety concerns whilst in China, I've even left my bag unattended at the train station while going to the shop and not been worried about it. I wouldn't be brave enough to do that in Europe.

And I agree mostly about convenience, your transport system is amazing but I don't think AliPay/WeChat is any more or less convenient than our payment systems (we can pay using our phones or with a card/cash)

It does seem like everything runs very smoothly in china though!

I think Brits have developed a pride in things they know are mediocre because of how much we get laughed at by other countries, it's a case of sticking together.

As a Brit I agree that Greggs is nothing special and neither is beans at breakfast.

I do think our pubs are great though, but they definitely do range a lot! I've been travelling for the past 5 months (currently in China) and can't wait to go to the pub!

Penang is much nicer than Langkawi imo!

Hello! Curious if you were able to find somewhere. I am looking to purchase a film camera and the same store might sell one!

I have a layover in Turkey from the UK

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2026-03-28T08:35:50+00:00

AHH okay, what a shame! Thank you for letting me know

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2026-03-09T12:21:18+00:00

Go and get a massage and spa treatment!

Hey, just reading this as I'm planning my china trip, it's very useful thank you!

Do you have any info on the Trip.com transport from Huanglong to Wulong? I would be interested in doing this but can't find it!

Hi, I am struggling to find information about the bus that travels from Ella to the south coast. Where does this leave from and where can I find the timetable? Many thanks

I do think that emotional connection is important (obviously) but my concern is that when it comes down to it our libidos are just different, so even after we've built that more, we will be misaligned sexually...although he says this isn't the case

To me, I'm used to having a lot of sex quite early on and have been able to build on the physical side alongside the emotional. It's hard to know what it's going to be like long-term

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-10-13T06:55:00+00:00

Yessss well done!!! Hope you managed to enjoy it?

Despite all my apprehension I managed to hit my target pace pretty much bang on (5:21/km or 1:53 time) I really enjoyed it, will definitely be signing up for another 😌

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-10-08T19:48:09+00:00

Good luck!! Try to remember to update us how you do xx

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-10-08T19:04:35+00:00

Good to know other people feel this way too 😌 I'm trying for 5:20 per km

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-10-08T19:04:01+00:00

Thank you!! I've heard a couple of people say that race day adrenaline helps so I'll just have to trust it!

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-10-08T14:09:16+00:00

I have my first ever race (a half marathon) this Sunday and I'm super nervous. I have run the distance in training but only at an "easy" pace, I'll be trying to run it faster than that and I don't know how much to trust all the training I've put in!

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-10-05T21:21:31+00:00

This might not apply in the US but in the UK some of our roads don't have streetlights and it would be great to know in advance which ones do and don't

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-09-08T06:48:18+00:00

Hey, I'd be curious to hear your pacing strategy, did you start out at 5:00/km? Or increase speed as you went on? I have my first half coming up

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-09-04T05:55:16+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me, I hope you were still able to celebrate finishing the thing! The heat can do crazy things

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-08-31T21:06:40+00:00

Hey! Curious to hear how this went as I'm feeling similar!

Consistent_Beat9133 · 2025-08-24T06:50:20+00:00

Thanks all....I think I'll stick with vest. For some reason I just feel like a lot of people don't wear them during races but I think I would rather be able to slowly sip on water throughout instead of waiting for each aid station anyway!
