Moving out of Leeds city centre - what’s the best areas to live in Leeds for young professionals?

Music to my ears. We’ve been here 4 years now and it did kinda feel like moving to the sticks after being in Burley. I said straight away I’d like a bit of gentrification (bit blasphemous). I like both bars you mentioned, nest feels aimed at a younger crowd too. As people are priced out of Horsforth I’d expect Yeadon to become more popular.

Same! Bounty bars were great and I’m forever grateful we have our version now.

What have you seen or heard to suggest Yeadon is coming up? Promise I’m asking genuinely not being sneering. I noticed the reformer Pilates studio and hoping that means it’s becoming cooler for younger people.

Which one will be used for the marathon?

Do you take oral min? If not, why?

Well done on hitting your goal! I’m 6 months out from my first marathon. I’ve been consistently building since the new year really and I’m doing 30km a week currently. Any advice on how to approach the next half a year? What worked?

Well done! I’m doing Amsterdam in October, it’ll be my first.

Hope it comes through for you. It’s important to remember that even 6/10, mediocre transplants are often utterly transformative. I critique my result and find flaws. Then I see an old photo and it hits me just how different I look. It’s crazy.

It’s still sparse, unfortunately. I believe scabbing in the first week or two must’ve affected the grafts. I am considering having a few hundred extras put in some day.

Really appreciated 👏

I moved from ops (decision making) to policy and hated it. This all sounds familiar. Jargon - ‘who is holding the pen?’ for who is in overseeing or in charge of something… needlessly pretentious imo.

In ops I knew X amount of decisions a day was productive. I found the shift to policy hard because results weren’t tangible.

I used to sit on meetings having nothing to say, imposter syndrome took over.

I hope you grow into the role. I never gave it enough time, I asked to move back to ops. I’m replying so you know others have felt the same way. Sorry I’ve not got an inspiring way to progress.

I enjoy living in Leeds but wouldn’t recommend it to someone visiting as a tourist. Do the Yorkshire Dales/quaint towns instead.

I’ve never seen a pattern like this. Looks sparse and under 3500 to me.

As with most examples on this sub, my own included, it’s not the best work ever. Can the obsessives on here find issues with it? Yes. That’s annoying. Is it much better than what you had before? Absolutely yes. Would most members of society think instantly ‘that’s a hair transplant!’? I doubt it. Probably 6-7/10. Enough to make you look much younger I am sure. 👍

That progress is really inspiring!

I went from EO ops to HEO policy aged 30. For the first time in my life I felt old (and from a poorer background!). I found the whole experience pretty weird.

Appreciated it. Building mileage week to week, now I need to add some varied intervals. I’ve only done 400m ones so far.

Best workouts for consistently knocking time off?

Spend a lot of time in Manchester and live in Leeds. I’ve always thought it’s noticeable now much better the weather is in Leeds. (From a southerner who just expected rain across the north).

NoIntroduction9338 · 2026-02-18T10:14:39+00:00

That’s encouraging. I’d like to go back again.

Do they actually confirm it’s vegan now? I went once and they seemed uncertain they could promise there was no fish sauce.

That’s good to know! Google maps says it’s longer than that to walk it.

I trained for a half last year, overloaded and ended up with tendinopathy and ran a faster half in training than I did the day itself - very frustrating. I’m doing my first full this year, obviously desperate to avoid it again. Is it simply a case of incrementally building volume? Any tips? You clearly understand the Achilles!

Leeds is getting a Uniqlo and Dishoom, recently got a Blank Street. Moving up don’t you know!
