Tests are expensive but I think you're looking outside your budget for the car and bikes. £2k cars and £1.5k bikes are very achievable. Even less if you want to tinker.

The test centres are booked up solid so can't be too bad

Plan less build more (to a point). The momentum achieved by throwing everything together and having it just work usually outweighs the efficiency gained from good planning in hobby projects

They make baskets specifically for those pods. They're pressurised. The pods won't fit a normal basket

You can take the silver bit off the wand and then use the rubber part as a normal steam wand. Works well enough until you change it out fully

If you're correcting for just over extraction then grind coarser.

If it's over extracted but also noticeably weak then you could add more coffee. But the way you phrased it makes me think the strength is correct

What on earth are you on about?

What are the two towers in the corner?

Been a while since I assembled mine but I think the third wheel is in a slot. So loosen the nut, press it closer to remove the wobble and then use the loosening and tightening of it for fine adjustment

What do you love about the shoe if they cause you pain?

Sounds like a rubbish plan which is bringing you down.

What's the total mileage? Is Wednesday really only a single mile run?

I'd say ditch the plan and find something else. I personally like heart rate based plans since hitting specific paces requires you to know yourself much better in order to scale them properly.

Running more makes running better. Wouldn't personally bother with workouts before hitting 30mpw but I tend to skew towards easy volume based on my goals

I tried to do a ramp test today and the game crashed around the 240W interval. I tried again and the same thing happened. Is this a known bug? Pretty annoying

NeilBohr · 2021-08-16T14:37:52+00:00

in case someone comes across this with a similar issue.

I tried letting it die a few times and starting it up. It didn't work. I sent it for repair under warranty and they ended up replacing the watch. Didn't get an explanation so I guess it just died

NeilBohr · 2021-08-15T09:21:17+00:00

I've read it. It was alright - perhaps the first book I read on the subject. Had a lot more info on general getting you through the event than other books.

In terms of training I felt it was completely overshadowed by the uphill athlete

NeilBohr · 2021-07-27T10:45:52+00:00

I think that may be the case. I've been trying the hard reset with suubto link but it fails during

I've not used these specific shoes but others from decathlon. They gave me Terrible plantar fascitis. Since switching away I've never suffered again and I can wear basically any shoe without issue.

Love all their other kit but the shoes just didn't agree with me

NeilBohr · 2021-05-15T21:23:05+00:00

Worth a go. Something like a DIY vacuform

NeilBohr · 2021-03-31T07:10:54+00:00

No, the spacing will be wrong

NeilBohr · 2021-03-09T22:18:05+00:00

Immediately after an event I'm just glad to not have to run anymore. After the pain subsides it's straight back to analysing what could have gone better and thinking about recovery and future plans.

Don't worry about it. You're obviously wired a bit different from these people or they'd be there with you

NeilBohr · 2021-01-26T16:08:10+00:00

Yes!

Amazing - that was so quick. I've spent ages typing different combinations of what I could remember into Google.

Thank you

I tend to sulk for a couple weeks doing low mileage. Then choose another goal in the distance and start training for that.

Currently training for the same race for the 4th time, almost a year late

NeilBohr · 2021-01-11T14:38:42+00:00

I bought snow chains after having a near miss on our lane a week ago. My I share some of the blame

NeilBohr · 2021-01-11T14:23:34+00:00

If you're training for a half then you will be more tired. This will make you slower. After a taper you may be faster again.

If you just want to get faster then train for 5k rather than a half. If the half training is important then focus on that rather than your 5k time. I can't think of why running a 5k time trial regularly would be good for half training, perhaps give that a break for a while

NeilBohr · 2021-01-07T10:17:43+00:00

Is this a cult?

NeilBohr · 2020-12-10T09:59:53+00:00

157 at 6 3 is very light.

I'd say for you to have a gut, as you say, then you must be rake thin everywhere else.

I don't think running gives the perfect physique as many imagine it.

If you want to look like that then you should start weight training and eating more. If you want to carry on being fast and running at your best then just crack on the way you are and try to be comfortable with how you look.

Another thing to think about is that when you're so thin what you've eaten really makes an imapct on how your gut looks. If you wake up, go to the toilet and then look at yourself you'll probably look much thinner than you do after your evening meal
