    It's Beachy Head Guinness Boy! They feed and water you frequently - no need to worry about carrying too much on you for that one. :thumbsup:

    What I would say as well is that I've only really found form in the last 2 or 3 months. Earlier this year I was running parkruns in 21/22 minutes and I really couldn't get going. Now I'm able to run sub-6 miles around parkruns. I still consider any mile starting with a 7 to be pretty quick on a...

    [TV] El Camino - Breaking Bad sequel

    I don't feel I need to defend the film at all - it speaks for itself. I'm in no way involved in the writing, casting, directing, etc... I do think you're wrong about them inevitably being after Jesse. They're not to know what's happened when they first arrive on the scene. Personally, I don't...

    [TV] El Camino - Breaking Bad sequel

    Opinions are always going to differ - I'm not trying to devalue anyone's, I was saying there's a clear correlation in the people I've spoken to and how much they enjoyed El Camino. For me, it was the perfect continuation of the story and you actually end with closure - that's the difference...

    Taking a step back in the milage probably isn't the worst thing in advance of the race. :thumbsup: Having a bit of a break beforehand isn't a bad idea, but I'd definitely want to get out for a few shorter runs to keep the legs moving. It wouldn't be a disaster going into it totally refreshed...

    [TV] El Camino - Breaking Bad sequel

    Spot on in what way? How would the cops know at that point that Jesse wasn't the shooter? All they would have known at that stage was that there's a massacre, a car was driven away (listen to the media reporting). They're looking for the driver of the car. When they've searched the place they'll...

    One of the perks of my work - I got to attend a discussion with young Bruno ( :blush: ) - he doesn't have a recorded 5k time but he doesn't believe that he would be among the quickest. He believes Pascal Gross would be quickest, Gross was his immediate pick - but he has no idea in what sort of...

    That would be a fair criticism if Jesse had gone to his parents and found a fortune. But he didn't, he went there to get the guns to go and get more cash from Kandy's. It's no surprise that there was a lot of cash hidden at Todd's, the money being generated from the meth sales throughout Europe...

    One of the things I loved about it as a race is the late start time. :down: If they don't post out the race numbers, there's every chance I won't make it in time to get one and pin it on myself. Get yourself to the 9k mark and pace whichever of us is leading the way. :thumbsup: To be honest, I...

    It's funny actually, I also thought about entering that! A mate of mine lives in Wellingborough, so I was going to stay up there on saturday night and run the race on the sunday. I didn't end up doing it though - and luckily not! Madness. :down: Sunday of this week brings THE 10k showdown of...

    [Other Sport] Kipchoge runs marathon under 2 hours!

    :lolol: No. I don't think people fully understand how difficult it is to run at the pace Kipchoge ran at for those nearly 2 hours. You can talk about the pacers making it irrelevant, but they only did 5k at a time and the teams were rotating in and out. They didn't run the whole distance, only...

    [Film] Joker

    What a poem! I loved Joker and I really thought it was a fascinating look at the fine line between between keeping a grip on reality and losing touch completely. He is constantly fighting to keep himself the right side of the line, but as he goes along he gets further and further away from...

    Anyone mentioned Latvian International Vitalijs Maksimenko?! Shame it never worked for him here.

    All of it - it's been pretty aimless so far in my opinion. Vince Gilligan is nowhere near it and sadly it shows. I'll watch Season 5 (February 2020) when it drops, but I think it's been fundamentally uninspired so far. Chuck was the worst character I've seen on a TV show, he was utterly hideous...

    [TV] El Camino - Breaking Bad sequel

    I absolutely loved it - it was a perfect continuation of and conclusion to the story of Jesse Pinkman. The key thing was that there were enough characters you know to keep you interested, but not so many dropped in that it smacks of keeping fans happy. Every character was important and the use...

    It's a fair opinion, but I completely disagree. He set the whole thing up to help him run the time, but he still had to run the time. He still had to dedicate his whole life to achieving something no other person has done. It's an incredible achievement and it's not lessened by having the right...

    [News] Manchester stabbings...........

    Most. :lolol: Nonsense. I'm going to Manchester in a couple of weeks for a gig, looking forward to it. I've been there once before for a conference and walked around the shopping centre, it was absolutely no different to anywhere else in the UK and I can't imagine it's changed all that much.

    I can imagine that actually - look at the man's legs. Crazily sturdy! And for additional context, there will only be a handful of parkrun times tomorrow which match that pace, let alone beat it! Insane.

    Sir Bruno is coming to my workplace on monday, I'm looking forward to hitting him with the, "how quickly can the players run a 5k?" question! I'll report back what he says. I'm hoping he's going to tell me that they do a timed 5k regularly throughout the season and then fire off a list of...

    Okey dokey - keep me posted and we'll get a proper 5k on the move. :thumbsup: Also, what's happening with the track session idea? I don't remember if anyone had been assigned the task of getting it organised or not?
