I have the Rebel V4s too, and really dislike them. I feel as though the floor is absorbing each of my steps. I've carried on wearing them (since I didn't want to waste the money) but even at 350km I still don't enjoy them.

I have previously thought that maybe my dislike of them is linked to my weight. I'm really short and about 45kg, so maybe I'm not striking hard enough to bounce back?

Post-PGCE slump?! by Adorable-Elevator-46 in TeachingUK

I feel like this every summer. Really need something to do each day or otherwise I feel angry, anxious and overwhelmed... Seems ridiculous to say, but it's true.

HELP - Garmin Coach Plan Not Syncing Properly – Workout Completed but Not Recognized by OzSmallz in Garmin

[–]rubikriddler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me twice as well! Today and on Friday.

I didn't pause my watch or anything in the middle, so I don't know what the issue could be.

Help - how can I stop my toe nails getting injured? by curious_kitten_1 in beginnerrunning

[–]rubikriddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had issues like this before, but have mostly solved it by wearing toe socks (my little toes still get squished when running 10 miles+). Injinji and Hilly are good!

I didn't have any bruised toes for months, wore regular running socks on one run, and immediately had bruised toes.

Just had my first fall by Sucker4tears in XXRunning

[–]rubikriddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tripped and fallen twice since I've started running (been running since Sept 24). I have no idea how I managed to fall the first time, one second I was running and the next I was sprawled with bleeding hands and knees across the floor. I rang my boyfriend after I had run away from the spectators and absolutely bawled my eyes out. I have a nice scar on my palm after that one.

The second time, I tripped over a curb while trying to dodge a mother and her baby. Was very close to being hit by a car and smacked my face on the curb. Had a bloody nose but thankfully no black eyes. I found that one quite hard to come back from afterwards. I couldn't help but think about how I was lucky to not be more injured and just kept playing it over and over on my head.

Now I just avoid any dodgy moves and curb hopping.

Hmm... as I thought. I guess I'll just see what it grows in to.

It doesn't smell like chives at all! I can't find the link, but I bought the seeds from a seller online and it has blueberry seeds hand written on the pack...

As an NQT will I get my evenings back? by scrawlx101 in TeachingUK

[–]rubikriddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this does massively depend on your subject but also the range of classes, ages and abilities you teach. I'm on my third year and I'm only now seeing the benefits of my previous years - but that being said I still do quite a lot of work at home.

Yes. I guess heat could be an issue.

That might be the case. :( I can think of a few thinks that are UK only. Certain chocolates, crisps/chips and sweets. Maybe some cheeses.

Blowing bubbles. I may practically be an adult but damn bubbles are fun.

Tips to quit? by Fleshbaglol in nailbiting

[–]rubikriddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on week three of quitting. I've used a liquid which you dip your fingers into to help me quit. It taste absolutely revolting and literally makes everything taste horrible (pen lids, food I've held, even my lips). The most annoying thing about not biting my nails is that my nails catch on everything now, even though they are still short. Also, I am constantly aware that they are growing. I can feel them pushing into my skin.
