    I tend to start following people who outpace me at the various events I run, so trust me when I say that there are a dozen or more people who everyday are posting an activity which started before 7am. I'm perfectly comfortable with my approach to training, I'm doing more than enough for what I...

    Thats what I mean! Come 8:30 and I do the rounds of Strava, Instagram, Facebook - my feeds are already clogged with people who have ALREADY smashed into their session for the day and can go about their usual business. Personally, I'm a lunchtime runner almost exclusively during the week. That...

    Word for word. :thumbsup: My job is oddly paced throughout the month - generally the first and last week are short of work, so I bank a few hours which I then put in over the middle 2 weeks which require far more hours than the opening and closing weeks of the month. I was working until late...

    I don't feel I can criticise for being put off by the rain - I took one look outside the window this morning and decided that cycling into town to go to work was beyond me. So I'm sat at home, sort of working - sort of catching up on ironing and whatnot! I imagine a nap will happen at some...

    Congratulations sjamesb3466 - a PB is a PB and if we'd had this table 4 years ago, I'd have been nowhere! A lot of work has gone into the current race consistency, reaping the benefits of the work behind the scenes. And so are you - so enjoy the update to the table :thumbsup: Greg Bobkin -...

    I'm sorry big nuts to scoop him here - but as I'm first on to the thread... 37:33 chip time for me (31st), 38:29 chip time for the Big Lad (43rd). Both damn fine performances to be fair, although the tall fella may be disappointed not to get closer to sub 38. I honestly didn't expect there to be...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Get back to talking sense about gardening. :thumbsup: Jahanbakhsh deserves his chance in the side at some point, if he's as good in training as people have said, I can't see why he doesn't warrant getting a run. I don't have a shred of doubt that he's a quality player who would be very good...

    [Football] Andone tonight

    I'm a big fan of his, I wanted him in the side last season and really think he'd be absolutely fantastic in this fluid Brighton team. But if he's as big a wanker as we are led to believe, then goodbye to the man and let's bank some serious profit on this boy. We spent £5million on him and we...

    Great news - hopefully he'll batter in goal after goal after goal to push up his resale value. :albion2:

    I often wonder if events would be more fun if they're not being raced. It's not going to change my mentality going into THE showdown over 10k on sunday, but I do wonder if the bigger events wouldn't be more enjoyed running at a comfortable pace and really taking in the surroundings. Much like...

    Sensational BiffyBoy! Top work and definitely deserving of an entry in the NSC Runners League Table! Please provide 5k PB and 2019 best, 10k, 10 mile and Half Marathon PBs if you have them to hand and I'll get you added in. :thumbsup:

    Damn right! I'm looking forward to racing Hastings properly in 2020. :thumbsup: I'll be targeting Worthing for another Half Marathon PB in February, Hastings is more of a challenge to say the least.

    [Misc] When did you last see a hedgehog?

    ... and THIS type of post is why I fundamentally disagree with the Ignore User feature. With respect, we disagree on many topics but then you get an impassioned post like this. My garden is a shambles of a jungle, ideal for all kinds of animals. I even have a horrid old tree at the end of the...

    [NSC] Ignore list

    I have no interest in making this forum an echo chamber of opinions I agree with. I want to see opinions I disagree with because it helps form or strengthen my own opinions. It's also interesting to see what people are talking about on a variety of subjects, whether there's something I...

    [Misc] When did you last see a hedgehog?

    I saw a plump one stare down a fox in my Nan's garden last week. The fox seemed keen to commit a murder but the 'Hog wasn't having any of it, stared him down until eventually the fox ran off and the 'Hog rolled around on the grass in triumph. It was tragically struck and killed by the...

    Final pace session for me today in preparation for The Showdown (if Sky were broadcasting it, you know they'd have a phrase on repeat!), 5 x 1 miles along the seafront between the Peace Statue and Shoreham Powerstation. 6:28, 6:28, 6:13, 6:07, 5:56 (arguably, the last was significantly wind...
