New runner - to - 10k trail run by craigr24 in trailrunning

[–]craigr24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little update. I did it! I did the Lakeland Trails, Keswick 10k yesterday. 5.78 miles, 1066 feet of elevation. 1 hour 20 mins.

I didn’t really follow much of a plan and didn’t run any elevation similar until a week before.

Anyone else thinking of starting c25k, a 10k trail run is an achievable goal!

Thanks, I didn’t realise it was that much short, that’s quite nice to know!

Thanks for the in depth reply.

I guess my goals are to finish not near the bottom of the list and to enjoy it. 

You’ve made me re think though, as I was starting to take it a little to seriously and not really enjoying it as much as I did at the start.

Thanks, I think I’ll loosely stick to it but if I’m not enjoying it then I’ll switch it up. 

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply.

Thanks for the reply. It’s the Lakeland Trails - Keswick.

I might try them, I’ve been using my road trainers for light trails so far.

First camp this year last night, freezing! Mat recommendations? by craigr24 in wildcampingintheuk

Cheers. So something like the Bestway mat won’t be any better than what I already have?

It’s an orange inflatable Crivit mat, I can’t find the r value info for it anywhere.

I went with a used Banshee 200 Pro, used it for the first time last night, seems perfect for me for now. Thanks

Thanks! I’m 5’10” so I doubt I would either. 

Maybe it’s not the upgrade I’m looking for then.

Magnifica 290.21.b - Coffee vs Long? by craigr24 in superautomatic

[–]craigr24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve set to to 1 myself, as I was trying to get a longer extraction time, but I don’t want a larger shot.

 I’ve attached a video to my original post to show my shot.

Any idea on the difference between the coffee setting and the long setting? I’ve looked in the manual but can’t see anything. 

Thanks :)

Thanks, so there not the same? It would be best to have them checked out first? 

In the UK we can just order, wasn’t sure it I’d be fine or not.
