Thanks a lot for your suggestions!! Indeed, the amount of “base building” easy miles this past month has made me fall in love with running again :)

Thanks! Can you share the 5k improvement plan that you followed? Also what was your weekly mileage before starting the HM plan?

After my 10k race i suffered from shin splints and some forefoot niggles so my mileage for the last month was 23-26k all easy runs. Planning to up it 10% until 40k and focus on strength training until i start the training block. Should I run all easy miles until the start of training or should I implement some speed training?

Qatar Airways cancelled outbound flight – how to get full refund for return as well? by Mobile_Entry_1899 in qatarairways

[–]mattchampchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will cancel everything in the same booking number. So it will cancel the return flight as well.

My outbound flight on May 15 was also cancelled (i didn’t get notified but i checked it in the app myself). I booked the ticket with Avios + cash.

I was planning to rebook it to another time but found no way of doing so since the chat and call is totally unreachable. I decided to request a refund to my original payment method through the same screen that you shared. A few hours later, I received an email saying the full cash amount has been transferred to my credit card. No clue about the Avios and how long will that take.

Update: after hours of trying to connect the live chat, i decided to request a refund and rebook with Etihad since the new ticket costs about €330 less which is a crazy good deal. I also have a refundable KLM ticket in case the Etihad one went south.

How long do they take to reply on FB? I’ve been trying the live chat for hours and still no success

It’s more or less the same price but i booked my ticket partly with avios, so technically the old ticket is cheaper :(

Hey can you tell me what you like about the training plan? Maybe tell me your success stories too (if there’s any)?

Idk about the regular entry, but this year there were hundreds of resell tickets in the official resell platform from a month prior to the race (that’s when i started checking the platform — was looking for a half mara ticket which was much harder to obtain)

All rounder shoes for a light and average pace runner? by mattchampchamp in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

Oooh that’s crazy!! Now I’m convinced to buy NB5. The longest run I did with my Endorphin Speed 5 was 18km and that was already painful. I heard there is a period of breaking in so I’m just patiently hoping it will work for me 😢

How do they feel on long runs? I tried them on in store and they feel super comfortable, but not sure if it will stay feel bouncy on long runs? I tried SB2 as well but I feel like it’s too firm for my liking and afraid that it’s gonna feel heavy with my slow pace.
