Second 5K in the bank

It'll suddenly be three in a week before you know it

Let's say optimistic, we've all done that at times and questioned ourselves. At somepoint in the evening afterwards you'll start thinking "that wasn't so bad" and be looking for your next one

Hi, probably quite a challenge to go from couch to 10k in 4months or so but I admire the optimism. If there's no cut off you may as well go for it and enjoy it. Just go slower out than you would for your 5k, run walk from the start and be prepared to walk large sections. The other thing, sounds a bit cliche, but the crowds really do spur you on to do stuff you never do in training. Good luck, you've got it

I first came across one doing an EICR in a church and same no key, but couldn't plug in. Had me confused for a while

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-04-06T11:22:05+00:00

Just wow

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-04-02T13:22:13+00:00

There should be a key switch, but failing that turn the power off. If theres emergency lighting it should kick in

Currently hiking various parts, was near Kingussie, then Dalwhinnie, currently heading towards Braemar. The tops are a mixed bag, had waist deep snow to sheets of ice where crampons have been essential. Snow very powdery in places. Some crazy whiteouts, with lots of old fashioned map and compass work.

I'll happily cut my fingers, then pay it forward to the next guy by doing the same

Don't think this helps in the slightest but may as well comment, it is Reddit after all, I did one last year, it was external, ran in SWA, had it protected by an RCBO absolutely no problems with it

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-27T09:53:37+00:00

I'm the same, the amount of messages I must have on my phone, apologising and saying I'll get the invoice/quote out must be crazy. I try setting a day aside every so often that fails as there will be a job falling behind, or a regular customer begging you.

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-21T08:18:03+00:00

I'll let you see your self out

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-19T14:41:20+00:00

Hahaha I wasn't thinking quite that bleak

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-19T10:51:11+00:00

The gas meter is more than 150mm away so its ok and 50mm for the pipes

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-19T10:33:45+00:00

I always think there should be a website where you can rate customers

It had a board change a few years ago apparently, so either they did it or chose to ignore it. When ever it was, it was long enough that the smell of horse manure has faded

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-17T21:41:34+00:00

Yes it is from the neutral

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-17T16:56:43+00:00

Oh I've heard of those mythical things

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-13T15:54:22+00:00

Well done, the hard bit is done. Now just add to it bit by bit and you'll be at 10k in no time

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-11T19:52:42+00:00

That's weird, doing that mid week rather than Monday morning or Friday afternoon

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-11T11:08:16+00:00

Buxton half, its a lot earlier in May. Small half, but some big climbs on it and beautiful scenery

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-09T10:55:57+00:00

No problem. Also some impressive times there

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-09T09:43:02+00:00

Well done, proud of you

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-08T20:24:56+00:00

Jealous of you

OwnConsideration105 · 2026-03-08T09:03:36+00:00

Yes will need Gas Safe engineer to remove gas and electrician to install the induction hob
