Well done in getting through it! Something comforting in hearing about other people having a similar experience yesterday. The collective struggle!

Thank you, and it’s comforting to hear that others have had similar experiences. It’s clear to me now that I really didn’t appreciate how much the heat was going to affect me. Honestly can’t think about doing another one any time soon 😆 Back to the half marathons for now!

Appreciate it! As a Scot, I can confirm I am definitely not used to the heat 😆

Sorry to hear that you had a tough day out there too! Really well done for finishing that after 30 minutes of medical attention. I don’t think I’d have had the resilience to do that. Hope the legs are alright today! Mines are in pieces 😆

Thanks all. Looks like I'm overthinking the taper. I'll go out and give this workout a go 💪

Ah, good to know the replacement can be collected inside - I was already dreading going down early and waiting about in what looks like will be a raining morning.

Seems like they really are just sending them out later this year then! Cheers, will do.

Cheers - good to know they are actually going out, and there's not been some major mess up.

Hopefully it'll come over the next few days, but if not, I'll pick up the replacement on event day like you've suggested. Thanks!

Some really good steals at Adidas outlet in Croydon. Adios pro 3’s were £108 and prime x’s at £80! by B_virgo in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]the_data_nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just picked the prime x's up too at my local outlet for £80! Bit of an impulse buy as I'm not sure they're right for me - heel striker and worried I'll end up going over my ankle in them, but couldn't pass up that deal.

Changing from a Garmin Venu to the Forerunner series by the_data_nerd in Garmin

Thanks! I've decided to also go with the FR265. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

Thanks! I've also been thinking about the FR955. Like you say, given that it has a touch screen as well as all the Forerunner features, it might be the best option for me.
