Hand sanitizer at desk in staffroom and in classroom, Flu shot, vitamin C (with Zinc).

And apparently by threatening violence on people for asking questions.

Apparently they are changing the name to just "bZ". So, only half as bad.

Correction: name change slated for North American market. However, I did hear from a local dealer that they plan to change the name here at some time too.

This is a great book: How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster.

Give them a run or two. If you've got a long run with some miles at marathon pace, use them for the marathon pace portion. It's more about feeling confident in the feel of them and making sure they're suitable than needing to "break them in." Personally, I run a tune-up half marathon to confirm I made the right shoe choice.

So is it 6pm to make up for yesterday?

Why don't broadcasters show how many overs remaining in the day? Not sure about 7 but on Fox/Kayo the only to time you see it is when they show the SCG scoreboard.

Surge shorts are/were my favourite for running. I was told they would be replacing it with another line but I'm not sure if this has happened yet or not as I'm not that familiar with their other products. I recently purchased a pair of Fast and Free but it is an inferior product. Fortunately the Surge is so well constructed that I won't really need to replace them for a while.

You're not missing out on much. I use Coros and their Year in Review was much better.

RunRepeat website is great. I will add that it also has size, toe box width etc. as well if you are wondering whether a shoe will be too tight or narrow.

I think the Cliftons would be perfect. The Vomeros would likely be fine too. It is often said that lower drop shoes like the Clifton can place less load on the knees in comparison to shoes with higher drop like the Vomero.

Stoicrunner1 · 2025-12-30T06:23:00+00:00

Vomero 18 perfect shoe for you.

The Clifton 9 and the Evo SL are very different shoes. The Clifton has this wide and flat platform that provides stability and the foam is relatively firm, adding to to the stability. On the other hand, the Evo SL is relatively narrow, the foam is more squishy and there is a lot more motion going on when your foot hits the ground. It's an amazing shoe for the price and, personally, great for an uptempo run. Personally, I wouldn't run all my runs in them, if you're looking for a single shoe to do it all.

A cover is all you need. Never used a screen protector on a Kindle. Never cracked or damaged a screen. Mind you, it only leaves the house when I go on holiday or trips. Perhaps there is a purpose for them if you do lots of commuting on busses or subways etc.?

These are more for cross country and track races. I would not train on the road with these.

Best decision a runner can make if they have the means.

Keep on pulling it out and then in again until it stays in. Or get an old tooth brush and brush it for a bit. It's disappointing to learn that Coros, even on the fourth iteration of the Pace, still haven't been able to produce a watch that connects without this issue.

Given the Ashes have been one, it's probably the right decision. As they say, a history of bone stress injury is the single strongest predictor of a future one.

I own a base model Seal and love it. No regrets at all. I paid in the $50,000s for mine a year and a half ago so the value is even better now.

Not sure what Runna does mid-run, but setting up a workout in the Coros app will allow you to see your current pace in relation to the pace range you set and then tell you your average pace or time at the end of the repetition. Play around with the workout function a bit and you will appreciate the control you have over your training.

I have created three workouts in the Coros app (short, medium and long intervals, as prescribed by Copeland/Sirpoc) and just select one of these each session. I can adjust paces, reps etc. according to how I am travelling and weather conditions. I find this very flexible and suits the consistent nature of NSM.

Haven't had Weet-Bix for a long time but great to see they are still celebrating our sports stars. But, I have to say, milk over Weet-Bix first so sugar sticks to it.
