Saw them at the old Valley in Charlton in 1974. Now that was a gig...

I'm running the Brighton half too, but you can lay off the abuse

Good to see you today knocky1 and yes, looking at this https://www.athleticsweekly.com/news/fastest-and-toughest-parkruns-in-the-uk-1039920546/ it seems as if I should head to Worthing for my AG attempt (and definitely steer clear of Bevendean).

good running - the AG gap is starting to open up!

Last time I went, BHA fans disabled quite a few seats

I really fail to understand why people get so upset about inheritance tax. On balance I think that it's one of the fairest taxes there is. Interestingly this view tends to be shared by a fair number of informed economic commentators (not the Daily Mail..) on both the left and right. So the...

I think it's pretty much a certainty, rather than a probability. It's happened every time I've been there in the last few years, and it's embarrassing to say the least having to watch families who probably aren't Palace fans anyway, cowering in their windows as our lot strut their stuff down...

Probably in a minority, but I'm happy with this. I'd wanted to go to the match but the first shift of time to 12:30 on the Sunday clashed with the Brighton Half marathon, so I didn't go for tickets. By the time it became clear that the fixture would be shifted again, the tickets were sold out...

Interesting - as far as I can tell they are calculated by a simple formula based on the watch’s estimate of your VO2max. Mine are so far off, that all I can assume is that it is telling me that I am extremely fit (the Garmin app page for VO2max tells me the flattering news that “your fitness...

Another slow news day for the Argus, it seems. However, the comments below the article are worth a skim, if only because they make similar debates on NSC look like havens of sanity and rational argument in comparison Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those Garmin Race predictors are a joke -mine are currently reading 18:48 for 5k and 3:00:04 for marathon. In my dreams ..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great night - I couldn't get Ring of Fire out of my head for several days after that one

My Garmin's set to autopause, but even that doesn't work perfectly, as it takes it a good few seconds to work out that you've actually stopped, and a similar time to register that you've started running again.

Well, it was nice while it lasted. Good running Garry Nelson's teacher. I won't be competitive on Parkruns again at least until marathon season is over - could only manage a lethargic 23:10 at Preston Park today, slightly hindered by last night's Burns Night imbibing. Good to see knocky1 on his...

It’s Burns night, so a perfect excuse to open a bottle of 12 year old Bunnahabhain Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

26:55 at Preston Park for me today. Happy with the time (given that I had volunteered as the 27 minute pacer [emoji846]). Just starting my build-up to London marathon, so I’ve decided to rein back a bit on Parkruns, maybe only racing one in three. Signing up as a pacer has the double benefit...

Thatcher, by a country mile. Cameron and Blair would be in contention for the worst single decision taken by a British Prime Minister but, as far as I'm concerned, if you're looking for the worst from the perspective of their longer-term ideological project, and the damage they've already done...
