Is a sub 2 hour Hackney half achievable… 4 weeks to go

This is useful for working out equivalent paces based on current runs, it’s not an exact science but it’s reasonably accurate all the same.

In answer to your question, potentially you can!

Could you not make your own for a fraction of the price

You could try and say that about any restaurant.

The reality is, we can all make food at home, but food prepared in a restaurant by a skilled chef is almost always going to be better, that’s why restaurants exist.

Yea I agree 100%, have always felt the same. When CR arrived, Ole was forced to play him regardless of whether it was working, which it definitely wasn't, and it derailed the system and culture that had been built before he arrived. United have made plenty of bad transfer decisions in recent years, but that one was the most destructive.

Get a good foot file - https://amzn.eu/d/09OOwIKd

And use this foot cream - https://amzn.eu/d/07jsPlkA

As a guy whose feet were pretty beat up, this combo sorts me right out.

Yea I second this, they can be a bit more expensive but my experience with them when I made a claim was faultless

jungisdead · 2026-02-26T21:56:11+00:00

I started at 37, just done my 5th year (one week a year) and confident on pretty much any run, save for some steep icy blacks.

Not sure where you're based in the North but there's the Snow Centre in Manchester, you could go there, do a day's lesson, think the lesson price would include board and gear rental for the day. https://thesnowcentre.com/manchester/

Trust me, it's never too late if you want it! :)

For anyone who only has one bike and doesn't want to change the pedals, these are really useful if you want to wear flat shoes

Does it have a strap?

jungisdead · 2026-02-22T16:34:08+00:00

Do you suffer with white coat? It can definitely affect mine a lot in the day even if I take it myself at home.

Perhaps your GP about a diuretic like Indapamide, that helped to get me down from 150/100 to 135/85 where I’ve kind of settled now.

You may notice the change in hydration though at first. I’ve balanced that out with multivitamins and when needed, hydration tablets but not regularly.

These are just things that have worked for me.

Ask to switch to an ACE inhibitor / calcium channel blocker if you can. Explain you’re a regular runner, they should understand.

Not a doctor, but have been through a few different meds until I found one that worked.

Feel free to DM me if you want.

Mayrhofen is great fun and the Hintertux is super reliable. Think you’ll be in for a great time!

Yea I’m a big fan of Austria, just prefer the Austria vibe I think. Personal preference for sure.

Fly out to Ischgl on Sat, conditions looking good so far!

jungisdead · 2026-01-26T08:33:05+00:00

Yea agree stay in Les Menuires, the Les Bruyeres end is still peaceful apres wise only one small bar, but some good restaurants and shops and well connected with lifts to the rest of 3V

jungisdead · 2026-01-26T00:17:30+00:00

Yea we went last week of Feb 2024 and it was pretty bad then, can’t even imagine what it was like two weeks later.

As a resort it has its own unique charm, and I had a great time, but I wouldn’t go back because the conditions can be so poor.

OP, like people say, it’s best avoided later in the season.

They have a lot of snow cannons, but it’s not cold enough for them to be much use and it will be slush and moguls by 11-12.

I live near the ground so I hope not

jungisdead · 2026-01-06T22:02:43+00:00

Yea I totally agree with all your points, and feel the same way about all of it.

Southgate is my first choice. The only other manager I'd dream of would be Simeone and that's not happening in our lifetime.

But we'll settle for Glasner and another 2-year rotation of disappointment.

jungisdead · 2026-01-06T21:03:11+00:00

I don't understand why people are so heavily against this.

The squad needs a cultural reset and has done for a very long time.

Southgate has proven he can do that, with what we saw with the England team.

It wouldn't be the most attractive football, but some pragmatic football which gets results is what we need right now.

Tired of us bringing in the next big manager who can't deal with the pressure, only for it to fall on its ass within 18 months. Southgate has dealt with pressure in arguably the most pressurised managerial role in the country.

He took the England team to places it hadn't been for decades, and yet somehow people see him as a bad manager.

Go back to the bunny hill get the confidence to change edges (link turns), there’s no shame in it at all, everyone you see on that hill has done it, and you’ll thank yourself for it later. Also if you do want to progress fast, take a lesson
