So I took a trip to the airport this morning - to drop someone off and that was a weird experience, from what she said around the flight I can only imagine it must be quite worrying for people that have to fly at the moment.

I agree. How people are meant to remain mindful of social distancing while pissed is going to be interesting to observe.

I think I'll be avoiding the pubs for a while yet if I'm honest.

Any real life examples of the petrol blue colour? Was going to treat myself to a new frame and was leaning towards the Cinelli Vig, but after much deliberation I think I've decided on a Bob Jackson.

I'd been looking at them myself, purely from a guy who knows nothing about them I looked at starting with the mavic mini.

Ineos 1:59

I was just reading about the Ineos 1:59 and the average pace for a 5k was 14:10. Absolutely crazy.

Exactly - hence why gyms are saying they're going to limit the use of these, as in you'll have to book the squat rack or it won't be in use at all.

The showers will be a no go - I've received emails along that line too.

My gym have already said they'll be limiting weights too.

I'd love to get back in the gym too.
Problem is I don't think gyms will resemble anything like they were before.

Thank you very much, I had suspected something similar.

This week will mostly be HIIT workouts as I wanted to take it easy on the legs. I'll see how they feel tomorrow before I head out for a run.

So a quick question from a running novice.

I've really got back into running during lockdown and have found myself starting to enjoy it again. Last week was a big week for me, the most I've ran in a week for years.

But towards the end of the week my shins were hurting, like even to the touch hurting.

Is this just volume of running or is there something in my running technique that I'm doing wrong?
I'm looking to get gait analysis done as soon as the shops open again.

Thank you.

I've tried again. Next case is that I speak with my bank and ask them to take action.

Just doesn't seem professional at all. No contact for a month.

Of course it was on my debit card....

Slightly peeved that I placed an order with Triton cycles almost a month ago and I've heard nothing from them. They have over a grand of my money.

Is there anything I can do? I know that they're still trading but their phone line is also disconnected for the time being.

Lovely lunchtime run today, I felt like I could just keep going and going.

Now back home though and feeling restless and a little pooped - is this normal?

.

Awesome I'll be sure to go check them out.

Are these in store also? The ones I picked up last time were pretty handy for cycling to work in.

Thank you - housemate just asked what its all about too so I just repeated this word for word.

Ah fuck what other people are running. So long as you're enjoying yourself thats the main thing.

Work on the long slow runs, pop on an audiobook I find that helps on my longer ones.

Thanks guys - I think this week will be around 25-30 miles when all is done.
I'm following some advice around running in certain HR zones opposed to just running as fast as I can and wondering why I want to be sick.

@Tenderloin with lockdown I'm finding I can easily incorporate a run into my day - WFH is making it infinitely easier since theres no commute.

Duly noted!

Excited to say I've ordered almost everything. I'd lusted after the vig after seeing the blue and white colourway while cycling across Europe 10+ years ago. Finally got around to buying my own...

Gotta admit this does look fun.

So since the start of lockdown I have been running a lot and to be honest I'm really starting to enjoy it. Coming from someone who 6 months ago was still smoking 10-15 cigs a day I'm really chuffed.

So how do I increase my distance gradually? I'm currently around 10k x 2 and 5k x2 a week and while my legs are sore its manageable.

I don't mind paying £1 a week to be honest- I won't miss it (not at the moment anyhow). Its almost what I'd spend on coffee for one day.

I'm more interested to see whether this means Strava is lining up for a buyout, which could be interesting if this is the likes of Garmin, since if Garmin looked to incorporate into their platform they'd really be winning. But I'd imagine if Garmin bought it surely they'd want to make it exclusive to Garmin users?
