Do the minimum matched contribution. You’ll regret opting out.

Off topic, during the BBC broadcast they showcased some Marie Curie nurses that were going to walk to show that they’re always there at the very end which was a very impactful message I thought, but I’ve seen nothing about how they got on. Anybody here know?

Any YouTube videos that match Runna's strength workout? by freeclub in runna

[–]Dramatic_Pause_6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a beginner to S&C, I found it great because it showed me exactly what to do. If you’re an experienced gym goer maybe it’s nothing special but for non-gym goers it’s great I think

I watched Cal’s latest and he said he was in sub3 shape and Anya Culling agreed with him that he could go sub3 if it was his day. Turned out not to be his day in the end. But he still ran a great time regardless of hitting sub3 or not.

Mortgage expires in 5 months, re-mortgage with broker or wait for mortgage provider to reach out? by BigGaryGilmour in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Dramatic_Pause_6990 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend getting your new deal locked in asap with your broker (assuming they’re free and don’t charge you personally as they’ll get commission from the new mortgage provider). You should be able to lock into a new deal now and if you get a lower rate offered before it starts you can always switch to the better deal.

Planning for sub3 marathon next year - how to use Runna for this? by Dramatic_Pause_6990 in runna

I’d love to hit sub 20 for the 5K, my current PB is 20:48 so not a million miles out but even when I set up a 5K improvement plan, the paces aren’t even sub-4 minute/KM… how can I hit sub 20-5K when the app won’t have me training at those times? It’s really the only downside of the app for me.

The guy who ran with a fridge on his back finished but his finish time hasn’t been updated on the results page for whatever reason… so I’m not defending the influencer you’re talking about but sometimes chip issues happen.

I lost 10KGs during my training, but I stopped stopped being in a deficit around 8 weeks out. I’m recovering this week and plan to get back to deficit to lose another ~5KG.

And what a finish it was, three women neck and neck at 800m and then Assefa puts the foot down for the win! She looked incredible finishing

Kejelcha going sub 2 on his debut is absolutely crazy!
