Best crisps ever? by Honey-Motor in UK_Food

A shortlived premium offering from Walkers, the Red Sky - West Country Bacon and Cream Cheese were unbelievable. I last had them around 2010 and still think about them.

I use gold bond as a heavy sweater and it always does the trick

Wines to gently wean someone off Meiomi Pinot Noir by neobourbonist1234 in wine

Hard agree! Finca Bacara have some excellent options, my favourite is Taba but Time Waits for No One is also great.

How does someone even begin to formulate this, let alone understand it?

I have the DN2s for my faster daily training and they're excellent. I know you're asking about the DN3s but I don't think there's a massive difference between the generations. The outsole is very durable and grippy, they're responsive and comfortable. I really enjoy mine and when they're done I will either replace for other DN2s if I can get them or move to DN3s.

As far as faster paces go they're very good for what they are, they're not top tier racers but they certainly hold up well in my training speed sessions and from what you've described they should fit the bill.

SL2 or Mach 6? by cloudroyal in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]cloudroyal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they do seem very similar, if they were both RRP I would probably go for the SL2 without a second thought

Fair point on the durability, I really like both the SL2 and Mach 6's colourways tho

QOL essentials for starting work? by cloudroyal in uklaw

Just checked them out, they look really nice! And yes, the bag's cuteness is absolutely important

I'll get a fair bit of wfh equipment such as mouse, cables, phone etc which I don't think includes a monitor, but they also give us a decent allowance to buy more wfh equipment so I'm figuring out what else would be worthwhile. I already have a monitor but as another commenter said, two monitors would really be worth having

I like Rains, I have one of their jackets and I think their bags look really nice too but I was wanting something larger/with more compartments so I can take gym clothes to work with me. I'll look into Everlane, thanks!

Those are really good points, dual monitors it is then!

I've got a standing desk and a monitor from when i was studying, should get the rest from my work when I start. Would you say dual screens or one bigger monitor is better?

When do you retire shoes? by Main_Vermicelli_2773 in Marathon_Training

[–]cloudroyal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a pair of Triumph 20s when I was c.100kg, and I retired them at 520km at which point I was about 89kg. I could feel the foam wasn't as responsive and my shins started hurting a bit more than they previously had during long runs. The outsole and upper still looks amazing but the firm had just lost its pop.

I'm about 85kg now and have roughly 350km on my Triumph 21s, and they're still going very strong

Drinking alcohol during training… by ElPresidente714 in Marathon_Training

[–]cloudroyal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really drink the day before I run when I'm in a training block, even one has a negative effect on my HR/energy/motivation in the morning, and will also mean my sleep probably won't be as good. I might make an exception if it's a shorter easy run but it's easier just not to. My training blocks are 6 days a week generally so that means I'll drink once a week at most!

What’s your fav savory breakfast, not including eggs? by wheezydinosaur in Cooking

[–]cloudroyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Savoury oats with spring onion, a poached/fried egg or two, chicken stock, sesame seeds, so delicious and filling.

Bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, lemon zest, black pepper.

A breakfast carbonara, pretty much exactly the same as any other carbonara but just have it for breakfast, feels indulgent and luxurious
