I can go and take some photos tomorrow if you want. There are bike stands, and there is a scaffold pole to hang your bike on inside the reception area, but I've never left anything locked up outside.

I switched my long run to a Saturday because I go to the track on a Monday with my daughter.
I'd run to a parkrun up to around 15 miles away, do that as a marathon pace run, then either run a bit more or just get a train home
Sorry for clogging up the thread, I'm at a bit of a loose end seeing as I'm having a rest week!
-
When I've run multiple marathons, I've reversed the taper for 4 weeks, then tapered again. I ran 3.10 in the 1st one and 3.11 in the second. There was also a 3.12 sometime soon after.
Good luck with the next one!
I did a December one near hoddesdon round a track. Free cake and coffee at the end. I think it was a zigzag running event. Pretty traffic free if you exclude the other 100 odd runners. They were doing a mix of events from 5k to 50 odd miles

Should be ok this time of year.
This is from Jan, bit sloppier
-
I wear the same shoes that I've run to the track in, normally Adizero Pro (the ones suitable for gardening, not fancy cheat shoes).
Racing is always sleeveless, I can't imagine wearing a t-shirt or sleeves for a XC race.
I have worn arm warmers and gloves with a vest before, but it felt like a fashion faux pas

Onion, chorizo, then loads of stock, couple of cans of white beans and a load of chopped black kale will do you a tasty peasant soup
-
A million cars, same number of parakeets, couple of pedestrians, handful of bikes. Don't think I would do it again though to be honest
-
I ran a 3.29 virtual marathon today with a solid training block of drinking, big Macs and a few roll ups every now and again.
Running training wasn't great, but that's in my top 15 fastest marathons.
If anyone knows Orient Way in Leyton, it was up and down there 26 times -

I've got all our sleeping bags out and left them in the front room in case anyone feels cold. I'm not putting that heating on for as long as possible!
Lovely warm sardines

I run in Walsh PB Extremes and XC spikes if it's sloppy. Walsh PBs just got like slippers and I think I've had 4 pairs over 10 years.
Bonus marks given for all the old boys at the running club saying that they used to run in them 30/40 years ago
For me, an off-road shoe has to have almost no looseness in it at all, or my toes get bashed from slipping inside the shoe going down a descent.
There's no cushioning in the sole of the shoe, and pretty minimal drop, but they just seem to work for me.
-
Doing it virtually, up and down Orient Way, E10. My twins are away at Beavers, my daughter is having friends over for a sleepover (10th birthday) so I've been sent to Thurrock Travelodge for the night. There isn't even tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Ho ho ho.
I have to get the twins from their Beavers thing at midday too.
I haven't trained well due to heatwave, lack of interest, illness and injury, but I'll settle with under 4 hours of misery up and down the A road after a terrible night in a bad hotel.
Good luck Ed!

Congratulations!

I enjoyed the whole thing. Would (and probably will) read again
-
Maybe just go for a walk instead
-
I was going to post that in anti earlier but never got round to it

There's a DIY version on YouTube which I'm hoping to copy soon. Monorail, runners and machine thread park tools hooks
-
I have an HP i5 w10 laptop if you need a laptop too. Send me a PM if you like
-
Can I have the wheels if they haven't already gone?
-
Have you still got this?

As cheap as possible, I am not a wealthy man, but I want to go MTBing with my kids. Probably for about 15 minutes, then I'd like a sit down
