Brighton Marathon sort of off then? My guess is a virtual, run 26 miles in the week, raise money for good causes and claim a medal.

Life in the old dough yet?

Beware of Park Farm - can be very noisy at night as used as a party site. Our experience was having drunk/drugged kids driving cars, doing donuts at 3am did not make for a good nights sleep!

Twenty-Four Hours - in my opinion JD’s best.

Back in 2001 we were camping in Yosemite national park, we thought we’d have breakfast in one of the hotels in the park before going off on a day hike. We noticed quite a few people were watching the tv but didn’t think much of it. Off we went for the day and returned to the camp site for the...

Worth listening to what Dean Hammond says about Lallana on The Albion, football and me podcast. Has a fantastic winning attitude - sounds like just the kind of player needed in the dressing room.

Pleasing to see my 5k AG is higher than running 5:09 for a mile aged 24. I don’t think I would have got below six minutes at that age.

Any views on this? Silver bullet or load of tosh trying to sell something? (Or somewhere in between??) https://coachparry.com/faster-beyond-50-masterclass/

Had a quiet couple of weeks - hot and then windy weather not conducive to running and I think I’d just had enough of solo running - finally got out this morning with a friend from Worthing for 12 miles around Cissbury. Needed that change of scenery perhaps. Feel really tired now and learned a...

Welcome and well done - that’s a tremendous improvement. ITB problems very common in runners and often underlying cause of other issues. Stretching and rolling is key. knocky1 will recommend the seated pigeon stretch. However after diagnosis is risky - if you still feel pain whilst stretching...

This - I bought one after you posted about it on another thread. Then spent the next three weeks wondering why I’d put up with shite WiFi for the last ten years!

So where is everyone going for their first restaurant visit (in England) after July 4th? I’m thinking Fourth and Church.

Very useful for buying drugs (allegedly) my teenage son tells me.

And best watched from outside a TV rental shop (remember them?) on a cold, dark Saturday evening.

Probably a safer bet - not sure I can manage 6:45 pace for two miles - that’s sub 21 for 5k - I haven’t managed that for at least 3 years!

Well done. I assume you were running towards the west? I went for a bike ride earlier and the wind direction made about 25% speed differential. Is there a standard/rule of thumb on the impact of wind speed or does it vary by runner?

Oh dear - you won’t make many friends on this thread with that kind of comment. About as popular as buying a bike. :lolol::lolol:

Rule of thumb for 10k is double 5k and add one minute so 41:30 should be within reach, Key for 10k is to target a time and then run it at a consistent pace. Eg for 41:30 run every k at 4:10 and maybe sprint the last 200m to pick up the last 10 secs. My best 5k is 20:20 and I’ve run 1:38 for a...

I’d forgotten this classic until the word ‘matter’ triggered it - so thanks for that. https://youtu.be/m39DWVFK-Bw

Love 6Music especially Marc Riley and Gideon Coe shows In the evening. Mrs Simgull even won Who’s on my t-shirt? on Riley’s show a few months ago (The Go Betweens). Agree though with points above re Guy ‘did I mention I’m in Elbow?’ Garvey. Also there seems to be a fair bit of mutual promotion...
