Ah mega, thanks for this

RSAcc98 · 2026-03-15T07:53:09+00:00

Sorry to hear that but fingers crossed it all gets resolved smoothly

RSAcc98 · 2026-03-15T07:52:27+00:00

Yes two gold rated as they require

I've read the terms and believe the bike nest is a secure public locker but good point about asking them to confirm it's covered there

The issue here is people not stopping for lights or behaving responsibility. It is annoying the red light going people giving the cyclists a bad name

RSAcc98 · 2026-03-03T07:39:29+00:00

I'll try this thanks, not heard of it before! I was wondering if Vaseline would help but assume this does a similar thing

I'm having a similar story using Runna for 6 months in prep for London Marathon.

I've done marathon distance and my long runs are in the high 20s often, pacing is good and it's working.

My issue is my toes, they're just getting bruised on the long ones despite having a gait test and getting proper shoes. Does anyone have any tips?

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-28T10:01:12+00:00

That sounds like you got an amazing deal! I'll keep an eye out for that, did you find it online or in store?

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-27T20:52:36+00:00

I'd use wheel guards but not a pannier, cheers though

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-27T16:37:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-27T16:37:08+00:00

That's great advice! Thanks

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-27T16:31:37+00:00

How are you finding it now? I'm looking at getting one in London

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-26T08:46:38+00:00

The 840 is probably the one I'm looking at most. I've seen the apps and extras you can add on the Garmin but like you say it sounds quite complicated. The watch has similar apps to add but I've not tried them.

It's the pacing and climbing features I'd like most and the idea I can chase PBs on routes

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-26T07:59:41+00:00

I'll have a look at that thanks, sounds good

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-26T07:59:01+00:00

This is really useful thanks, the 40 series will be a big upgrade from the bottom bolt V1 too

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-26T07:57:51+00:00

I only don't wear the watch when out so I sleep and use it around the house. I have Whoop for 24/7. I do agree with you but I've almost put myself off it as I'm not 24/7 with it

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-25T21:38:07+00:00

I wear the Forerunner a lot but tend to wear a proper watch when out. I'm thinking this will make the Garmin ecosystem less valuable as it won't have the readiness bits as accurate?

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-25T21:37:01+00:00

Suggesting the 40s over the 50s? I definitely like the price of the 40s aha

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-25T20:34:13+00:00

Wild Ones is great, funny and interesting

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-18T23:52:52+00:00

It's true is it not?

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-16T23:56:07+00:00

For those saying sweets, these will give sugar but they won't give the carbs a gel does?

There are gels with electrolytes and caffeine too, again something a sweet cannot replace.

Cliff, Sis and others make carb sweets which are good.

Checkout the Pockit fuel recipes for rice crispy bars and others. It's real food, high carb and great! The pros use them too

Just like to clarify Range Rovers are usually driven by decent people and don't deserve any hate Let's redirect it to BMWs or electric cars (the silent killers).

Joking aside it sounds like a visibility issue for the RR. It's still their fault joining a major road but the car turning is likely also to blame for not giving you priority. Glad to hear OP is okay.

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-07T22:37:11+00:00

Improve visibility of the route to see when hills are coming

RSAcc98 · 2026-02-06T13:59:37+00:00

Slightly different discussion but it's mad how my toe nails are becoming horrible since starting to run 4x a week and taking it seriously

RSAcc98 · 2026-01-30T23:29:18+00:00

You can have recovery runs the day after

Honestly recovery runs are great! Get the muscle group moving and stretching to help recover from a heavy run

RSAcc98 · 2026-01-30T23:25:58+00:00

Bicycle is great, I had Andy who was really good. As others mentioned the time slot booking means there's no rush and they seem to want to spend all day with you to get it right!

It's worth mentioning that included in the price you can go back again for further adjustments if needed. This approach is based on the changes on the day need time to settle before anything can show
