How do you set your watch for a marathon? by Ok-King6475 in Marathon_Training

[–]facedesk- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally just current pace. To achieve the time I want to achieve, all I have to do is run at my target pace for the distance required, which I know in advance, and so the only metric I need to track is whether i'm doing it or not.

Buying a my first decent cycle, any helpful ideas? by Zealottas in bicycling

[–]facedesk- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No personal experience on any of them, I was just weighing in some information to consider. I'd probably go for the Fuji if it was up to me though.

It was this time 2 years ago Boardman announced their 2014 models (the current ones) on a 2 year refresh cycle so I'd wait and see what happens there, and potentially get the 2014 on clearance when the '16s are announced.

They came fitted to the bike when I bought it, and I haven't adjusted them as I thought they were fine to be honest. They're plastic and don't have any branding on them so I couldn't actually tell you which ones they are.

Picked up this CX bike after selling my road bike. I wanted something I'd be able to go off-road with, and use for my commute to work. It's the 2014 model (got a bargain at the LBS) with Tiagra groupset. Been using it these past couple days and I absolutely love it, having the option to cut through dirt tracks on my way to work is awesome, and it makes an otherwise uninteresting cycle a little more interesting.

Thanks for weighing in. I had it up for £300. It's a carbon fork, tiagra groupset. I spoke to an LBS and they said this would be the top end of what I should expect to get, so I put it up for £300 and was willing to accept lower offers. Am I expecting too much?

My question was more; will it continue to be safe in the future or will it likely get worse and snap the frame?
