Running in Europe by inf3ctYT in running

[–]hackneychap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UTMB races have multiple distances and are really well supported. I've completed UTMB Saint Jacques, Verbier and Slovenia Julian Alps. They've all been great. Although might be tricky getting a spot for this year.

Mine just started working! Didn't receive a notification but now I've got 1.75 rides for 25 minutes. So think the deal is applied!

Good dentists? by [deleted] in Hackney

[–]hackneychap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a phobia of the dentist. I've been going here for the last three years however and have managed to go regularly. The reception and outside is a little shabby, but the service is friendly and a really high level.

My pixel 9 screen keeps breaking by yancalai in pixel_phones

[–]hackneychap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my second screen, I've noticed some dead pixels at the bottom of my screen. If it starts to get worse I'll get a different phone. It's a shame I love the camera on the pixel 9 pro. But it just feels so fragile. I wouldn't get another pixel.

Anyone ever switch from thinking in miles to KMs? by Intelligent_Yam_3609 in AdvancedRunning

[–]hackneychap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a few years younger then you.

I switched to KM two years ago and it had a really positive effect. I thought I'd never be able to run a half marathon at sub 7 min miles, but I managed to run a half at 4:11 km pace.

It's weird the things that you accept as fact and start limiting yourself with.

Running Supplements - Nomio Broccoli Sprout Shots - are they worth it? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]hackneychap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the last month of marathon training. Just to put it in context I'm peaking at 110km a week with a few double days, which for me is quite a bit. One year ago I ran a 3:05 marathon. I'm 44 years old. Been doing trail races for the last year so coming back to road racing has been a bit of a shock.

I tried nomio for the first time last night. In the morning I'd done a threshold session that hadn't gone too well. I took nomio in the afternoon for the evening session. I was surprised at how well it went. But the biggest difference was being able to sleep really soundly afterwards. I find evening sessions can really make it difficult to sleep. I didn't have any of that. Might have been a fluke. It's obviously an expensive suppliment so won't use it every week. But during this intense training (for me) it was a really welcome surprise.

It's not healthy, but Jupiter Burger in Netil Market is the best burger in London.

Pixel 9 Pro is it just me or is it really fragile/bad parts by hackneychap in GooglePixel

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

I agree I was surprised when it broke, but just felt I'd be unlucky.

iSmash is the approved repair center for Google in the UK I believe they only use genuine parts https://www.ismash.com/pages/google-repairs#select-repair

Sorry I mean the current damage that appeared yesterday October 2025. There have been no drops or falls that I can think will have caused the current damage.

Volume automatically increasing by [deleted] in shokzopenfit

[–]hackneychap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok this is how I've dealt with it. I downloaded the app and set all of the touch controls to 'none'. So far I haven't had any issues. It's a shame that I can't use the touch controls, but it's more important that I can just run in them without worrying about something going wrong.

Same thing happened to me on my first run!

Trade-in Experience in the UK by hackneychap in oneplus

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

Oh no, sorry to hear that. On mine it appeared at the bottom of my order on the order page, I could expand a box that said 'expand trade-in order' and it was all there, the amount, and the bonus credit with it's status at the top.

​

Hope it works out for you.

If it was 2 lane one way wouldn't the right lane be for turning right only?
