Good stuff - there's an actual kids Parkrun in Brighton too - every Sunday morning (2km course). http://www.parkrun.org.uk/prestonpark-juniors/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm chuffed about the change for the same reason. Big drinks on Friday night, then Saturday to recover before the Brighton half marathon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

whoosh :)

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a woman who can't tell the difference between a boat and a train is in charge of a tourist attraction which is a lift sponsored by an airline...

Not sure the one in the article was "value for money" - £217 per night for a flat with a crumbling balcony in a multi-occupancy Regency terrace in Montpelier Road, Brighton?? That's over £6k a month. Even given Brighton property prices/rentals, someone is creaming it here, which makes the...

You can get a Forerunner 235 for £200. http://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=3376682 I'd endorse the other favourable comments on this one

Well this will be a test of whether they are indeed liable. My view is that the growth of these kinds of web-mediated intermediaries for services raises a whole set of regulatory and legal questions that haven't been sorted out yet (because the relevant law predates the use of this kind of...

I remember hearing about this balcony collapse at the time, and seeing the wreckage in Montpelier Road. Didn't realise that Airbnb were quite such a bunch of shysters though https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/nov/29/airbnb-denies-liability-after-guests-plunge-two-storeys-from-balcony?

It certainly seems to be stuck to the plate

Surely this is nonsense? The fact that we can identify "people who burn the candle at every end" but live long, and "moderates" who die young, doesn't change the other fact that, statistically, if both the candle-burners and the moderates took measures to be more (even more, in the case of the...

I've used it a number of times in different cities (London and overseas), and had very mixed experiences, including a couple of rides with very dodgy drivers and/or beaten-up vehicles, which made me feel uncomfortable, despite them having good ratings on the app (and because I needed the ride...

April come she will

Yes, I know - that's why I thought it interesting. My personal feeling is that minimalist shoes are bad news for most runners - I certainly wouldn't risk them - and that the jury was out on forefoot striking (although I have found that gradually shifting from a heel strike style has been...

Email from Brooks organisers to all participants. Seems entirely fair and reasonable to me. ----------- The Brooks Brighton 10k is one of the longest established races in the UK. As a matter of policy, entry fees are kept low, as we believe that such races should be accessible for all...

The fact that the share prices of the big letting agencies have fallen this morning in anticipation of this news suggests that the market does anticipate that they will take a hit from this, and will struggle to shift all of the cost to landlords (who will then pass it back to tenants through...

No it's got to be the guy in WSU block A, in a middle row. He does this loudly, whenever the ball is in the Albion half, pretty well whatever's happening on the pitch and irrespective of what it makes most sense for the players to do. A back pass to Stockdale, or even a pass between two of the...

I think they mean that there's a presumption of innocence (the initial conviction notwithstanding) pending the outcome of his appeal. If his appeal fails, then clearly there's no such presumption.

In case of interest - new study of effects of minimalist running shoes and forefoot vs heel strike running styles https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/nov/21/trainers-less-cushioning-padding-loading-rate-running-reduce-injury-study? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may be right, but the medal costs are still sunk, and if they re-schedule it, without a new entry fee, they will still incur a lot of extra costs for hiring barriers, toilets, marquees, timing equipment, etc etc. Actually looking at my old medals from Brooks, they are a generic cheap medal...
