    Official Running Thread

    As a 51 year old heading into week 6 of couch to 5K I'm having a hard time getting my head around someone doing 10K in 36:55. Some days around here I can't drive 10K in 36:55. Also - Flying over on Sunday so my week 7 runs will be in London, Covent Garden area. I've never run in London...

    One more run left in week 4 of couch to 5k. Question - for morning runs do you eat breakfast before or after your run? I've been fine with eating before up until today (4.7K). As I build up distance in my runs I'm wondering if just water is good enough before a morning run?

    Thanks to all for the advice. I ran cross country through school and played football until I was 40. The 10 year break after has seen many failed attempts to get back into running. The Couch to 5K seems to be doing the trick for easing me back into it. I'm hitting 4K fairly easily on the 25...

    Question - I'm a 50 year old who is in week 4 of Couch to 5K. I'm starting to notice a bit of tenderness in my calf after runs. I do stretching before I start & after, but none during the run. I've been reading lately that people walk for 5 minutes & then do their stretching. Anyone have...

    [Misc] Something that's really good but you only discovered belatedly

    Country Music & Rap Growing up I only ever heard top 40 country music, couldn't stand it for 45 years. Would tell anyone who listened that country music & rap were a disgrace to my ears. When I turned 45 I picked up a Sirius radio subscription and stumbled upon the Outlaw Country channel...

    [Football] Where will you be watching the Final if England get there

    For the first game I was working at home, didn't get my flag out on the house, didn't have my England jersey on. England won. Feeling immediately superstitious I have not worn my England jersey or hung out my England flag at any time during this world cup. I'm not messing with it now, so...

    [News] Canada legalises recreational cannabis use.

    Friend works in a local jobs office and sent me this from her work. I hate the smell of pot and I don't partake in it as it does nothing for me, but I love the new jobs being created.

    [News] Drowning under GDPR emails

    I took over managing a list here in Canada. They hadn't followed the Canadian double opt in laws so I set up an email to double opt in everyone based on Canadian double opt in laws 3 weeks ago. Now we're being told that as some of our list are in Europe we need to double opt in everyone...

    Leaning towards going down. So many clubs have been through the premier league second half dog fight of survival before and we haven't. That lack of experience will hurt us going forward.

    Do not get in the Bills way of getting a decent QB! Amazed they made the playoffs after all of the turn over they had this season. With a decent draft (they've set themselves up nice for high picks) & a new QB the Bills might just become relevant again. Glad to see Dareus turn things around...

    Great. Hopefully he stays committed to you for more than half a season. Maybe he just came to hate Buffalo. He wouldn't be the first player desperate to get out of town. The fans were done with him after his drug suspensions, injury problems, and outrageous contract. Too bad, he was such a...

    Yes but we had a streaker. http://thesportsdaily.com/the-sports-daily/naked-streaker-runs-onto-field-during-saints-bills-game-video/ For the Jags fans, was Dareus more than a pile of goo for you on Sunday? I loved him when he was committed to the Bills but some rough breaks and poor decisions...

    Easily the worst Bills game I have ever seen live. What a mess. The day was made somewhat enjoyable by me wearing an old grey 'SKINT' hoodie and most people mistaking me for a Saints fan.
