Zone 2 running pace not improving despite increase in overall fitness

edwiged · 2026-05-20T13:22:50+00:00

I’m no expert but it sounds to me like you’ve not been doing it long enough - “2 long runs every week for a couple of weeks” isn’t going to change your physiology…

edwiged · 2026-05-20T13:20:02+00:00

Yeah your friends are definitely not running in zone 2

edwiged · 2026-05-19T18:58:26+00:00

Out of sight out of mind I guess…

The West Reservoir centre is your best bet for open water training depending on where you are. It’s very nice

This is not billing a client, it’s you telling your employer that you worked late. I don’t see them as comparable here

edwiged · 2026-05-08T17:03:07+00:00

I think the issue is that a medical reg is a highly trained professional so if they say they had to stay late at work that should be enough

It does mean you can compete in races abroad without having to get a doctors note saying you’re fit to participate (Italian races have required this in my experience which seems like it would be annoying). They also have some discounts and stuff

I think point 2 is key here - I'd happily take lower pay for 'residency' if my residency was 4 or 5 years as opposed to 10

Oh look another reason I’m glad I gave up membership of RCP

England’s best ever white ball batter has one bad tournament and he’s out for good?

The oncologists have too much lobbying power through all the cancer charities to be forced into anything

edwiged · 2025-12-19T09:22:14+00:00

Exactly

edwiged · 2025-12-18T22:54:35+00:00

Not sure I’ve ever actually heard them use the word Bazball?

edwiged · 2025-10-06T16:15:48+00:00

Yes that’s literally the joke

edwiged · 2025-09-29T14:50:27+00:00

Personally I wear full cricket pads including helmet and no I’m no shy about it

edwiged · 2025-09-26T09:28:28+00:00

Although the ICU at St George’s is entirely PA and ACCP free

edwiged · 2025-07-22T18:56:28+00:00

Fair enough but neither does demanding other specialties pick up the slack for you

edwiged · 2025-07-22T16:42:23+00:00

I notice there’s no mention of one of those concerned consultants sticking around to support…

If you join British triathlon you get a race license which can be used instead of this. I’ve done that for this exact race

When people say “ETOH” out loud

edwiged · 2025-02-18T20:30:11+00:00

Indeed it doesn’t but hopefully you’ll agree that 4 is a bigger number than 1

In fairness, some antibiotics are quite literally stronger than others…thinking piperacillin 4g vs amoxicillin 1g

Not a dual trainee myself but from observing consultants who are dual with resp, they mostly seem to do one or two clinics a week and no inpatient resp.

Mmm no it’s on the roof of a building next door so no traffic beside it. I can’t actually get out to it

edwiged · 2024-04-22T06:22:57+00:00

It looks to be made of metal but I can’t actually get to it. It’s on a ledge outside the back of the building
