Harrow - Band F, £275 a month, paid over 12 months not 10.
Re the comments above, one of my running friends here works for Harrow Council, the Civic Centre is half a mile from their house, they...

1shilling 10p (9new pence) in Reading. Cheapest ever was a pint of mild at 1/1 (5.5 new pence) in Liverpool. Post decimalisation up in Darlington the Working Mens clubs returned profit for months...

I have a running belt with 2 small drinks bottles that I got from Decathalon. I prefer this to the ones that hold a 500ml bidon. Out of choice I prefer not to wear a belt, so tend to carry and hide...

Absolutely - the key thing is know your own body and what works, then when to back off, or rest completely. Some will do so just on how they feel, others against pulse, others against the advanced...

Ron Hill had a running streak of 19,032 days without a rest day.
One of my friends ran a min of 5k every day last year - and was steadily getting faster. He has continued it this year.
Once I...

Well done - I do like Cambridge (I went to Cambridge Grammar School in the early 1960s) - it was my third half, and first one under 1.45. Currently at nearly 50 half marathons, and nowadays looking...

Lots of standing water at Harrow Parkrun today I had to arrange a detour round the worst one, so over three laps ended up slightly over distance. With the weather today numbers were well down.

Behind a paywall, but in the press now. Parkrun records transgender (telegraph.co.uk)

Yes - if you look at the finish results they have removed all age group records, age grading rankings, course records, and first finisher rankings!

In the results you can see the age grading as...

So disappointed that Parkrun have dropped the Age Grading Stats - I know the "run not a race" argument, but it did give me an incentive (and held the age group records at some park runs).
It seems...

Absolutely - the beauty of Parkrun is that you just need to be there. Anytime is better than staying in bed or on the sofa.

Though so far I have only managed to persuade my own wife to turn up...

I am a Run Director at Harrow Parkrun, not a particularly fast course. Yesterday out of 288 runners we had a first time visitor aged 70 - 74 who came 6th overall in 19.54. Now that is seriously...

It is a question of how keen and committed you are. I have never been a particularly fast runner, especially within my club. My main sport is duathlon, but though I am 75 later this year, I will...

Very sad - another of my heros gone. And so soon after JPR.

Week 2 of back to running rehab. Started last week on 1 min run (Zone 1 pulse), 3 min walk. Yesterday did the parkrun in 35 mins based on 1.5 min run (Zone 2 pulse), 2 min walk. Gradually coming back.

Much agreed. My Epson printer decided recently that it was only going to work on their own cartridges. So bought the usual pack 4 of their own make - put the blue and black in, printed a couple of...

Very sad. A wonderful player, and a wonderful man. He was one of my heros, well they all were back then (I am also 74).

Fantastic - National Standard.
My best is 78.6%, at which time I bought a pair of Nike Next% carbon plate shoes to get to the 80% mark. Unfortunately, fitted with injury, so they are still unworn....

Last year was my worst for running and cycling owing to injuries. For running down to 600 miles from 1500+ the year before. Then knocked off my bike in Turkey in September, and a remedial operation 2...

All the best for a speedy recovery.

So sorry to read this. Condolences, and my thoughts are with Eddie.

I do not often go to the cinema. Anyway went and watched this along with my wife. Disappointed to say the least!

Congratulations. My 20 year anniversary is next year - though I do struggle to see how some people have the numbers of posts that they do.

The one lesson I took from the game (such as it was) is that props first have to be props - a message that only SA and Joe Marler seem to have on board.

I had the over 70s jab when it became due, as I had shingles when about 20 years old, and was VERY ill with it. Affected the nerves in my left arm, and I lost the use of that for months.
