What you're describing I would call a running club, whereas I'd say an athletics club is based at a track, although both come under England Athletics. The track based clubs are likely to have lots of stuff for kids, but I guess track & field based, rather than road running (or indeed trail or...

I'm pretty certain the Age Grading % is based upon their actual age, just looking a quick look at the results I see 2 girls in the JW10 category but the one with the slower time has a higher %, which would support this. So I think that might help? That being said, not sure that means much at...

I'd read someone else say they'd set PBs in the Tempo Next% that they couldn't break with Vapor or Alphaflys. I'm just looking for a soft comfy every day shoe. Interesting to hear you like the Zoom Fly 4s so much, as the 3s were one Nike shoe I was really disappointed with. I found them quite...

I'm not sure I've ever really fallen over. However, I run a lot less than you, and when I do it's generally on firmer surfaces I think (running track or road). I've gone over on my ankle once, which was due to running at night, not really paying attention, and treading awkwardly on a curb...

Feel like I'm a shoe salesman on here... I've not used them before, they seem a bit marmite, some love them and some well don't, but the Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT % are 50% off on the Nike site in some colourways (e.g. Black with red swoosh). So that makes the £90, and you can get an extra £7...

Congrats on the 1500m win! I have the 3rd vets league meet tonight which has very similar events to the first one you just quoted, however slightly swapped order. I'm going to do the 100m, 1500m & 400m, so the plan is to try and get the 1500m right this time and then see what I have left for the...

I know there was some love for the Saucony Endorphin Speeds on here, they have the version 2s reduced to £108 (from £155) and the Pros at £133 (from £190) on the official site, I assume to make way for version 3. I have some Pros arriving shortly. :dunky:

Are you allowed to 'tap up'/speak to a manager that is under contract, without permission of the club they are currently contracted to? I understood to players you can't, you would need the parent club's permission to speak to the player (as long as the contract has more than 6 months remaining)?

Let me introduce you to USB C. Just going to take time for it to be adopted....

When I did my first race back in December I wore Vaporfly, and they felt as good as ever. Afterwards I learnt that technically anything over 25mm is not legal for track, which would rule out all the super shoes. In reality at the level of events I enter I don’t think it’s an issue. My in my own...

I don't think it's fair to update the table, as these much shorter distances would seem to rather distort the results. But just for the sake of posterity the official results were: 400m: 57.9s age 42 male: 80.89% 1500m: 4:50.9 age 42 male: 75.99% Compared to: 5k (parkrun): 18:21 age 41 male...

Having joined my local athletics club and training with them on the track since last October, yesterday I had my first ever Veterans League (Western) track races. Prior to this my only track race was a club open 3000m, and typically I'm doing parkruns, etc. So doing a 400m and a 1500m were very...

I can confirm that I am 41. I was actually going to correct you as I keep thinking I’m 42 already, but that’s not until later this week! It must be a sign I’m well into the aging process now. �� Excellent marathon from ForestRowSeagull, gutted for those 19 seconds!

All the best to everyone running today. I completely exceeded my expectations in the 10k with 37:43! I thought I’d head out at 38 pace and see how well I could hold on, but was fully expecting that tactic would backfire spectacularly and I’d fail to get under 40. There was a couple of short...

Very impressive, I think that makes you only the 2nd sub-3 marathon on the NSC table! My neighbour did it in 3:56, which is pretty impressive given he's in the V70 category. He made the good for age qualifying time for London by over an hour.

Happy Birthday, and nice result! I saw that Great Yarmouth was cancelled today as a result of the new policy on dogs. Think it was the only one.

It's my birthday in April so I'm hoping to receive the Nike birthday discount code very soon (25% I think) and will see if that can be used on the £143 Vaporflys. I haven't heard much to suggest the versions 2s are significantly better. In fact I did see one YouTube where a guy was convinced his...

Sorry knocky1 but another table update required please, clocked a 18:21 74.93% today. I’m pretty blown away, having improved my PB slightly to 19:15 last week. Can’t quite comprehend how I’ve taken almost a minute off in a week. I think the following led to the improvement: Nike Vaporfly -...

Thanks. I have to admit when the Streakfly were first released, I was skeptical of them, I couldn't see how they could compete with the Alpha & Vaporfly. However, I then had to consider the retail price was considerably less, priced much like any top range standard trainer. They also look like...

Lovely morning for it today. Wasn’t quite sure whether to go for it, in the end I decided to leave the super shoes at home. But as soon as the hooter went I got carried away and was off like a rocket, I don’t know the meaning of a negative split 😂 I thought it was very still but halfway round...
