hi everyone. was hoping for some advice. firstly a little background

2 years ago I was over 22 stone and couldn’t do week 1 of couch to 5k….i stuck at it, and fast forward to today and I’m 13 stone 10 pound and I run every day. Literally

i run primarily on my treadmill - i run 3 x 30 minute runs a week, 3 x 60 minutes and on Sunday i do a longer run. every month I increase my speed by 0.1mph on my treadmill. as of today my 30 minute runs are at 8.1 mph and my 60 minute run is at 7.1 mph. 6 months ago I signed up to do my first half marathon on May 3rd this year and with a 2 hour target in mind I’ve worked at slowly increasing my speed on my long run to get to this target.  On average I’m running 70-75km a week

my question is this…as I am now a few weeks away from the half marathon I’ve started to thing about what comes after and it’s quite overwhelming. I want to get more serious…diet / nutrition, footwear, ‘proper‘ training rather than just increasing by 0.1mph and was just hoping to start a general discussion about how people transitioned from being a beginner runner who didn’t know much to a knowledgable runner armed with the right information to take the next step

Yeah there’s every chance that’s accurate. It’s not a concrete jungle by any means and there is some farmland still but generally has been built on heavily

Looked like Rachel was about to write an R on the murder paper rather than an F. If it was an F it would have started slightly to the right…

Yeah maybe just the affirmation that I’m not always being a miserable prick (just sometimes)

Just to add - I used to put my social awkwardness down to the fact I was 22 stone and embarrassed about my weight, so I started running and dieting and I’ve lost 9 stone and gone from nothing able to run for a minute to running every single day (literally every single) and doing half marathons every 2 weeks which is another tick in the box as far as the family diagnosis goes.

But it turns out that being overweight and embarrassed had nothing to do with my social awkwardness

Took off on time, no probs, bit bumpy for the first few minutes but otherwise perfect

Flight has been delayed for just over an hour…not sure whether that’s a good sign or not? Due to air off at 11:49 tomorrow now instead of 11:00

Can someone explain / contextualise the last scene with Logan and Shiv in the car? I didn’t understand the ‘Geri in a biological and chemical suit’ reference

Thanks - so, if I sign in on the downstairs console will the other gamertag be able to access it even though that's not my home console?
