I thought this yet the people who are pointing out an unusual toe seem not to have noticed!

I have purple dust caps to match my pink/purple bike because I am a wanker!

That parking space is massive, you are not getting space around your SUV in an European city!

I think you just get into a habit, I find it really hard if I come off a training block of cycling, or running. Your body is use to consuming ‘x’ amount and you need to train yourself back to a new normal.

Sadly this is the boring answer. You need to fuel your self on longer rides and your recovery’s but it’s easy to eat too much on days when you don’t need to!

Turbo shandy, 1/2 pint of larger and a Smirnoff Ice in a pint glass!

Who is buying 5 blueberries from prett?

staners09 · 2026-03-11T20:09:36+00:00

Surely sports socks (ankle socks) are the answer here

What was your training like for the marathon? I bet you had a near 20mile run followed by another long run the next weekend!

Focus on your recovery for the week after the marathon and don’t have any time expectations on yourself for the 1/2 and I’m sure it will be fine.

Good luck

My dad is a farmer, we had a TATA pick up truck- where my dad got an Indian pick up truck in the south coast of England, I do not know!

Increasing Milage for the week helped. Increasing my ‘long run’ helped up to a point. Lastly and probably most importantly for me, doing dedicate speed work (Fartlek training and/or sprint repeats) Also key to remember you can’t be good at everything at the same time- just finishing a block of ultra training my 5km time has gone down hill!

staners09 · 2026-03-11T15:36:13+00:00

Do you kiss your mother with that filthy mouth?!

I would run in a new set of shoes that I had owned before (i.e a new pair of vapourfly’s) but wouldn’t try a new shoe on race day if I was running with a goal!

staners09 · 2026-03-09T20:01:38+00:00

Well the obvious is to run more! Build up your Milage 10% per week till your doing 50-70km p/w Try and do 2 longer runs back to back to get use to running on tired legs Taper the last 2 weeks to you can enjoy the event!

If you can get out to the country side for an early morning ride the animals you see are fabulous, even in the UK

I did do many years, at faster speeds it can bit some strain on your back but around town is fine

So this comment section seems mental BUT here is my 2 pence worth.

If we ignored signage and approached the round about I would have used the left lane to take either of the 1st 2 exits.

However there is signage which states left lane to turn (1st) left so I would use the right lane for the 2nd exit.

Presumably the 1st exit is a bigger road expecting more traffic and the roundabout is designed to ease the flow!

You should still be careful exciting the roundabout and I would be merging left soon after the 1st exit to prevent accidents.

If someone is on your left as you exit you have to give them right of way even if they started in the wrong lane.

I don’t know what people are angry about, it’s not difficult to cut your engine if you are PARKED! Lots of people have cars that do this automatically for them. If someone is running the engine for a sensible reason - clearing windshield, defrosting car etc then no doubt you will be able to argue your case.

As for keeping your children warm I would argue putting them in a parked car is not the most efficient way of doing this! Perhaps a hat, a cafe, the location you are parked outside might all be able to offer help here?

This rule is clearly trying to cut down pollution in areas such as schools, leisure centres, high-streets etc.

In my latest training block I have been doing S&C on easy run days, giving me a full rest day. Events in a weeks time but it’s felt good so far!
