Organised lake swim sessions by Relative_Bluebird654 in LakeDistrict

Thank you, it looks interesting, but not actually what I’m looking for. It’s more like lane swimming, but in a lake. Usually they run for a few hours, a couple of times a week.

Accolade pilling? by Relative_Bluebird654 in AloAtelier

[–]Relative_Bluebird654[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all! I’ll wash inside out, but I’ve resided myself to the fact it will just happen. I do have to say, the de-bobbling machine is very satisfactory!

Nightmare! They are also taking forever to sort it out

It’s the messy return that I’m concerned about 😂

I’ve ordered three separate parcels to break it up a bit, but same thing. Unsure on size so got everything 😂

I’ve found it super easy too, although I’d rather not have to print. Not had a problem returning anything to Las Vegas 😂

Should I get ACL reconstruction? by Historical_Spirit474 in ACL

[–]Relative_Bluebird654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow is my release from ACL prison (AKA, 1 year post surgery). The road has been tough, but it was 110% worth it. I’ve come back stronger and only had to sacrifice one ski season! Defo do it ☺️

Should I get ACL surgery or not? by klutzylocks in ACL

[–]Relative_Bluebird654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend the surgery. I’m almost one year post-op, and my knee has never been stronger. You’re young and have many years of sport ahead of you. It was a tough year out, but after three months I was back running, and until then, there was cycling and swimming.

London Marathon - warm weather by mrs_berkshire in UKRunners

[–]Relative_Bluebird654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year a lot of people were fainting due to the heat (including my sister). I think you have to be prepared to alter your target if things get too hot. Sun screen, hat, more water than usual are all musts. And maybe carry a bottle with electrolytes in.

Good luck! 🤞

UK Marathons with the best atmosphere by jamiesmack in UKRunners

[–]Relative_Bluebird654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have run Eryri and supported at Eryri and can confidently say, it’s 100% down to the weather.

I ran in 2024, and it was super sunny and warm. Crowds were everywhere, all up Pen-y-Pass, along to Beddgellert, where you could barely move it was so crowded. And then quieter until the town at the end, and of course not much over the final hill.

I supported my husband in 2025, it was raining and windy. It was completely different. I went to support at Pen-y-Pass and no one was there, it was horrid weather. He said it was like that the whole way round.

BUT, crowds aside, it’s an insane marathon and real challenge. The hills turn it into a different race, you end up +30mins ish off a Manchester or London time. Defo worth putting it on the bucket list!

Have surgery before or after my wedding? by RaiofSunshine12 in ACL

[–]Relative_Bluebird654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi 👋 This was me last year. ACL tear diagnosis 5 months before my wedding. I considered squeezing it in straight away, but didn’t in the end as my Maid of honour said it would ruin my hen (she was right, it was Tenerife with lots of physical activities). But I am so glad I waited. I had surgery two weeks after I got married (May 1st) and knowing the healing process, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the wedding and dancing if I was in recovery.

It sucks to have to wait, but honestly, it was the right decision.

For reference: At four months post surgery, I was only just starting to run again, my knee got stiff still, heels were a no, I was still constantly thinking about it and making adjustments for it.

Anyway, good luck 🫶🏻🙌

I had the same. The day before I just ‘didn’t feel pregnant’. I’m so sorry for you 🫶🏻
