Good luck, try not to get too overexcited and run too much of it, keep it slow and keep map contact!

Fingers crossed, training seems to be going well so far

After the tumbleweeds from here had cleared when I asked for opinions on them I bit the bullet and bought these for my Manchester Marathon attempt, now does anyone know where I can get a running vest version of our away kit?!

Right, I'm going all in for the Manchester Marathon. I've had a pair of Alphaflys in my basket for 2 days now, should I 'just do it' or would I be wasting my money?

Haven't used the hedge trimmer but pretty happy with the Ryobi cordless tools I have

Cheers for the heads up, because of this thread I managed to get in their before it got too busy and have mine booked for tomorrow

Can't believe after all these years it was a random comment from someone I have never met that has led to me finally signing up for a marathon! Just booked Manchester for April, training plan starts on Sunday.

I hope the 3 trail includes a set of XC spikes, gotta have a bit of competitive mud running in your life in my opinion!

No way would I have time to properly train for a marathon! My best times are all from when I trained hard for a 10 mile pb 5 years ago pre children!

Can I get an update to the SB 5k and age grading, 18:54 and 71.16%

Horniman Museum and Gardens isn't too far away if you were looking for sensible suggestions!

Riverside beer festival at Brew by Numbers for me tonight, going to be messy!
