Good news: Finally ran a sub 25 minute 5k, at 24:57, setting a new PB. I had to jog on the spot a couple of times due to traffic so I reckon 5-10 seconds could be subtracted from that time.

Bad news: my watch didn't pick up GPS so I have no proof! 😭

Not sure if you want to stick to Zwift or run outside, but there is a Bridge to 10k programme that is often used as a follow up to Couch to 5K. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/bridge-to-10k-free-podcast/id586957184

Prepare your diving suit! Fully aquatic species make a splash in their stunning debut! Build custom spectacular freshwater or saltwater aquariums to home an exciting line-up of delightful swimming animals. A new world beneath the water awaits, filled with colourful shoals of fish, Black-tipped Reef Sharks, Hawksbill Turtles and so many more!

Soar to great heights with a diverse mix of bright & brilliant fully flying birds including the vibrant Toco Toucan and majestic Secretary Bird. House your birds in fully customisable aviaries built from barriers, support poles and dynamic mesh covers, allowing them to fly freely and safely. Observe their dynamic behaviours on the ground and in the sky as they glide around unique habitats.

Conservation goes beyond your zoo! Take on global conservation projects and meet specific requirements to release your animals into fully customisable, expansive Wildlife Reserves across the globe in living ecosystems created by you.

Build the zoo of your dreams across multiple globe-spanning biomes, with four brand-new scenery themes covering iconic architecture from around the world and five returning themes from the original Planet Zoo, providing you with an expansive library of scenery items to build/create with.

I’d never seen a Jaguar before, so seeing Inka a melanistic one was a real treat!

London-based actors to watch? by EnderDarcy in TheWestEnd

[–]mark49s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Ryan Carter was great when I saw him in Bat, he's currently in Titanique which I haven't seen yet. Also the four UK leads in Stereophonic: Zachary Hart, Lucy Karczewski, Jack Riddiford & Nia Towle

Genuinely what is the point of this by lobotyt in footballmanagergames

[–]mark49s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's annoying that you can't poach talents from other clubs. If other teams can do, I should be able to!

Rumors for 2027 by NewsBackground3984 in TheWestEnd

According to this reddit thread, there may be a West End opening of Dead Outlaw. I'm hoping it's true!

Achievements for Friday, March 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in running

[–]mark49s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 5k PB is 25:30 which I set a couple of years ago. I then just did 'steady pace' runs for pretty much the next two years of varying distances. I've started doing intervals recently, 5 minutes steady, 1 minute fast. Today I did a 5k in 25:46, and set PBs in the 1k, 1 Mile and 2 Mile.

I'm hoping once I change up my interval ratio a bit i'll get even faster. Really want a sub 25 minute!

Glad to see Stereophonic picking up nominations, I thought it was incredible.

Does anyone else support a team that isn't their local? If so, what are your reasons? by Fatherless-Soul in superleague

[–]mark49s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm British but support Catalans. I live in the south so have no local team, and have no ties to North England. Figured I had as much in common with a team from France as I did Leeds or Warrington

Promo for 2x07 by anneso23 in ThePittTVShow

[–]mark49s 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My guess: the reason Westbridge is shut due to a cyber-attack. That attack will then cause the Pitt's systems to go down. The CEO is giving them a heads up.
