^Thanks both, sounds like something the children might enjoy too.
Is that poss?
We should use it as a venue for our next GTG. :icon_biggrin:
Yes, the Wharf section is brilliant.
The most rewarding race I have ever done was one I did mostly in the dark by myself and there were only a handful of people at the finish line. Not sure what...
Have to disagree.
London is epic.
There isn't a feeling comparable to running over Tower Bridge IMHO.
Other races are often in more beautiful or challenging places but the connection isn't...
Well done FK.
Hope the sciatica clears up.
I'm back training properly albeit slowly.
Thanks Martin.
C-B, glad you're sorted. If you ever need a non-tri shoe that's neutral and doesn't break the bank, Air Pegasus are easy to find and have served me well for about twenty years.
Thanks Martin.
I think my trainers need changing.
I haven't wanted to fork out £110 for the new model.
I usually go to Runner's Need and buy the previous year's model as Pegasus are quite...
Take gels well in advance, by the time you start tying up you're stuffed.
Well, IME anyway.
A friend of mine used to take a gel on the startline. I thought that was madness but now I'm not so...
^Good stuff FK.
I planned a long run yesterday but I have a sore Achilles tendon.
I Googled it and saw some stretching exercises where you keep the injured back leg straight (foot on the...
Saw an old friend today.
He's 70 and still faster than me. Mind you, he was quick when he was younger and he's no slouch now.
He thinks that sprints help to boost metabolism in some way but...
^Very nice. Looks great.
Can't remember the name of the company but there is a small business that sells a bike that mimics the running movement without the harshness.
DK is renowned for ordering pizza on a run.

Maysie and FK thank you.
I have a short window to accomplish a goal and I don't have time to mess about as I'll miss the age cut-off.
So I'm prepared to do a few things I know aren't good...
Need a bit of help.
I just can't seem to get below 10 minute miles.
I used to be reasonably quick but I can't seem to recapture my speed.
If anyone can suggest a quick way to lose weight...
^Ah, right. Makes sense.
Mine isn't for fun - I've set myself a couple of deadlines and then I'll transfer to cycling or hiking. Something easier on the body.
I'm inclined to believe you. There is a weird scenario when you just relax, eat what you like and enjoy your runs.
But I don't think you're supposed to treat that as SNAFU.
^Thanks.
They might stop me from the crisps / chocolate circle of Hell.
^I'm not sure that's going to speed me up.
But I'm prepared to give it a go.
*boots up online shopping*
What is your go-to-food when you're hungry but you know you've already eaten enough?
^Thanks.
My runs in training aren't that long - usually six to eight and a max of around 15 miles.
I seem to have lost speed and impetus i.e. the mental discipline.
I'm guessing my diet...
Ok to make it easier:
To those who have speeded up or lost weight, what are your staple foods?
I'm trying to cut sugar but I'm ending up with too many carbs. Tried mainly protein which stopped...
What foods do you eat that have helped you lose weight or speed up your runs?
I need some 'go to' foods as I'm going to bin all the rubbish. Or at least try not to buy it.
^Thanks. Sounds like I need to ask my physio to suggest some areas where I could improve my form.
Glad you're managing it.
Any ideas if anything else helped apart from the injections - did you rest completely for three months or were you able to do other exercises?
