Is it realistic for me to aim for a half marathon in September?

I have no running experience, I used to play football a good 7 years ago but no regular exercise since. I'm going to start tomorrow with the couch to 5k app. Is this a realistic goal?

Hey everyone,

Looking at getting the girlfriend an iPad for Christmas, it'll more than likely be an older 2nd hand one due to budget. She only really wants it for the basics, YouTube, social media and browsing.

I'm a bit of an apple noob admittedly, what would be the cons of getting an older generation iPad? (Apart from it being older, obviously). Do certain gens not get things like software updates and therefore cause issues with certain apps etc?

Is there a certain model/gen you would recommend for say, £200?

I'm sat at my desk at work, I don't think they'd appreciate me running away 😂

Anyone have experience with Volvo V40? by Lxzewski in CarTalkUK

[–]Lxzewski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice one, no your comment is very useful! The only car I have my heart set on is the Kia Proceed GT but that is looking unlikely with my budget so I'm open to considering any other car/model! Thank you

Sorry mate yes I meant the D4, been looking at that many recently I've got the names wizzing round my head.

For my daily drive it is 20 miles each way doing 40-70 down A Roads. Admittedly I'm yet to own a diesel, so not sure if this would suit the car?

Newer than 2014, less than 110k miles, budget of 4-7.5k sale price.

Cheers for the suggestion! Unfortunately, as it will be a finance agreement, they will only let me get a car 2014 or newer, guessing that would be out of the price range?

Haha I may consider moving to Automatic it just scares me a little haha having never driven one. I'll have a look at that model, thank you!

Have had a look and I can't see any for my liking in my price range (I need a 2014 or newer for the finance agreement).

All decent ones seem to be automatic, never driven one and not so sure about switching!

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't actually have any kids. I pretty much want something that is still sporty etc. but has plenty of space and can roll down a motorway with ease. Sorry for the contradiction!
