I’m hearing that Worthing half has been cancelled due to weather conditions

There are hours of fun to be had with this site. Attached shows the progression of your handicap over time (in red) compared with mine since I started running in 2015 (in blue). I caught you up nicely in mid-2017, only to have fallen back again markedly since then....

Interesting that you're just ahead of me on every stat (which I'd expect), except for the postcode M60. You need to move house. I can't wait until I move into M65 in a few months! UK Overall 70685 UK Men 57252 UK M60 1581 Postcode Overall 175 Postcode Men 138 Postcode M60 5 The ranking stats...

Quick pre-match recce before this evening’s KO

Everyone posting their historical trends has prompted me to look at my times. I haven't got that much data as I only started running (and racing) seriously in 2015 as I approached my 60th birthday. But it's all rather dispiriting - a tale of "running to stand still" really. It seems that I...

Thanks a lot for this - I got one

I stupidly missed the ticket sale window for the B'mouth away match on 21 January, and would very much like to go. If anyone has a ticket they can't now use, or knows of anyone who does (or indeed only bought a ticket for the loyalty points.....), please DM me. Cheers.

Yes, they changed the course a few weeks back, to ease the congestion at the start (still a bit of work to do, on that ....), and yes, they’ve moved the turn cone slightly at the far end of the park (the extra is barely noticeable though because you do the turn three times). Sent from my...

The only suitable ‘hood’ for Farage, rather than a knighthood would be one of those white pointed hoods with eye holes

I didn’t get mine for ages - it turned out that the club had sent them out in a plain envelope without any franking stamp, and I had to go to the Post Office Depot in North Rd and pay £2 for the privilege of collecting the unstamped envelope with my Palace tickets in it. It’s going to take a...

Great performances all round - I was clearly at the back of the NSC pack having struggled with stomach cramps on the horrible hill in Saltdean, and coming in several minutes behind knocky1, giving me a less than impressive 5th in the old git VM60+ category. Enjoyed the run though, a good mix of...

It seems that not all the Wolves fans were on board with the message https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/1524632/two-fans-arrested-after-homophobic-abuse

A propos of nothing, some more material on twitter today to feed the perennial debate that pops up on this thread from time to time about how fast footballers (generous description in this case) might be able to run 5k https://twitter.com/Joey7Barton/status/1203266997510901792?s=20 Some of the...

This. I love FIP - eclectic choice of music, no chat or announcements (just the news in French once an hour). I use the app to listen now, because you can then see what they are playing

Likewise. Bizarrely, I got my parkrun PB doing a hungover run at Hove Prom on NYD this year (helpfully paced by Simgull as it happens). As an elderly late starter to running (started a few years ago just before my 60th birthday), it wasn’t a particularly impressive time (21:51) by...

Same here. Apparently I've been "personally chosen" for this honour. Presumably someone has told them that I'm a gullible mug....

Yes my text was addressed to a young woman whose time was a good 10 minutes better than mine. Happy with that

Likewise - good to see you. I didn't have a particularly good race today - came in at 48m something, around 2 and a half minutes slower than my PB at last year's Brighton 10k. Still, I enjoyed it as always, and appreciated the cheer from knocky1 about halfway round.

My rationale has always been aesthetic rather than moral, health or environmental. I’m not a lover of animals, but I became a vegetarian 45 years ago because don’t like the idea of eating their dead bodies (never liked the taste or smell of lumps of flesh, and hate the idea of decomposing...
