Agree with vests for 2 x 500ml (or more) because that would be too much for belts. But for less than that, the 2 belts I linked don't bounce. With the Salomon one, I was worried a few times that I...
I have a SpiBelt https://www.spibelt.co.uk/ which you can buy with small plastic bottles that clip on to it. The pouch and belt are elastic and adjust to contents and waist. It also has loops to hold...
Probably not as fast as Alpha 1 but may be not too far off. They certainly have the edge in comfort though.
I was going to ask if you hadn’t returned yours I was thinking of buying off you as a...
@demonloop I’ve been doing only easy runs recently. Today went a bit fast to scratch the itch and try the Alphafly 3. Very comfortable shoes. No issues with arch support. Confirmed they fit true to...
I just put them on to try for size and they fit true to size. Lockdown is perfect. First impressions are that while standing and jumping I noticed less bounce than Alpha 1, which isn’t great. On the...
Today was my longest run of London marathon training. Nearly 38km. Close to the end of it was Battersea Park half marathon. I didn’t race it as a half (having run 13-14km to the race start and 2-3km...
Well done on your new PB!
Thanks for offering here. I would have jumped on it but I also bagged a pair of 9.5 on Thursday, arrived today. I lost to bots and scalpers in the January launch despite trying to order right at the...
Good for them but I'm not them! With 6 days/week running, on 2 of those days weight training too, limited running or any serious aerobic exercise experience (4-5 years), my middle-aged body needs and...
Another extra early start for me. 17k on my way to work. Of which about 10k near the end was fast paced on a track. Then weight session at lunch time. Just one more run tomorrow then I get my rest...
Good luck! I did it 4 months ago. Best atmosphere out of all the marathons I have done but also the toughest course I have run over the marathon distance (so not my favourite lol). When you say...
I can relate! Another 32km+ for me yesterday and none of it was at an "easy" pace: 4 times 5km at a fast pace with 1km less fast to separate the 5km intervals. The remaining distance before and after...
Well done! A colleague of mine did it in a very similar time (1:45:something).
Good luck! A colleague is also running the Cambridge Half. He’s an ultra runner - 100 miles sort of stuff!
About 36.5km for me today including 2 target race pace efforts of 30 mins each. Absolutely shattered now!
That is fast! And you were only pacing.
Sounds like very good mental (and physical, given the terrain) training! Well done for persevering through it.
Don’t get me wrong - my workout went well. I was just questioning the reasoning for...
Nice. I “wasted” a pair today. It rained only a little bit during my LR and the hydration vest was covering the area anyway so didn’t actually need the plasters today.
Anyway another 32+km in the...
Yes. Rain forecast so will use these for my 20 miler tomorrow: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NipEaze-Transparent-Protector-Prevention-Ultra-Marathon/dp/B008C24N6K
Just for you.

Indeed. Didn’t get my photo taken on it though. Should have done it, like others.
Yep it’s 400m. Doubt they would have changed it so probably the same back then. It is a slightly different shape to the typical tracks (longer rather than wider oval). It’s the only track where my...

Hills do worse than that to me. You did good. And recovered from it very well it seems.
