I was training towards the Hackney Half, my first race / half marathon, until a few weeks ago when they sent the message below announcing a “sustainable low-cost airline” as their main sponsor. 🤯 I’ll run a half on my own. Why aren’t they getting more backlash against this? (sry not directly running related.)

I do this occasionally

cool - I pm’d my number

I have 2 heat guns for some reason, pls come take one, keep as long as you need, i’m in SE16. I’ll pm my number.

thnx, also @TW - was working on lower leg strength already and will look into these exercises. A very gentle 4k run yesterday was ok, tho def not back to normal. I want to make sure i’m not compensating for this in a way which will mess things down the line.

Injury advice. Started running recently, doing the Nike Run Club half-marathon plan, running 3/week (intervals, recovery, long.) Ran a first 15k last Friday, maybe a bit fast but feeling good. Then last Monday after 10min comfortable running my left calf starts to hurt, gradually but fast. Tried running slower but had to stop and was hurting when walking back home. Didn’t run for 5 days, did gentle stretches and standing calf raises. Almost a week later, I still feel my calf when regular walking. Should I rest more or go back to running? Anything else to help with this?

Energy companies. We moved into a (sort of) new house 1 y ago so didn't have much choice other than British Gas (gas) and Eon (electricity) but I'm very keen to move. Anyone have good experience with Octopus ? If so, want to share a reference code (we both get £50)? Others I should be looking at?

thnx, hadn’t seen this before. The motion design is a bit heavy handed sometimes but the series is v good, I liked the deconstructing rap one too:

damn that’s good, and also a bit depressing

But if you want to avoid unnecessary buying (you're on the wrong forum)
lol

thnx for the advice, it's very helpful, also @Airhead

Should I get a heart rate monitor or running watch or smart watch or nothing? I'm only just starting to run more regularly: I did my first 10k run this week and I'm hoping to run 3 times/week, currently doing the half marathon plan with the Nike Run Club app on my phone. Would knowing my heart rate be useful? If so, should I get a heart rate monitor or watch? Which one should I look at? (I'm generally not a consumer-tech fan.)

I’m using Nike Run Club on my phone (with headphones), either guided runs (some of the coaching is a bit annoying) or non-guided (will still tell you intervals.) Haven’t been running for that long and don’t want to buy a watch (yet.)

looking to upgrade from cnoc16
let me know if you have something.
I’m in SE16 but happy to travel a bit to collect
thnx!

thanks. everything that’s up (slats and gas spring) is ikea, the wooden base is made.

the ikea bed is called malmo, got it last year in Greenwhich I think but we wanted it lower and with a wider mattress.

new bed, reusing the mechanism of the (not so) old ikea bed

Thnx all who gave dehumidifier advice upthread, we’re in an almost new build and upstairs room is v humid (up to 70%), probably a combination of a new house drying out and the humidity we generate.
Saw some very faint signs of moisture creeping through the ceiling’s insulation and plasterboard so hoping this helps.

Surely it's about quantities and impact? Yes, it takes some resources and energy to produce bikes and phones and clothes but their environmental and humanitarian impact is nothing compared to what oil companies profit from. The real point tho is that BC (and every pro cyclist sporting the shell logo) is greenwashing a very dirty company, as @Eejit pointed out so eloquently.

sorry, my friend is out, he just bought a bike
GLWS, this is a nice bike / good price

provisional dibs for a friend who’s nearby. will confirm asap. might be too small for him tho, how tall are you?

Anyone wants free pink plasterboard and metal studs? It's cut but not that much. Slim chance prob but let me know if you want to pick it up from SE16
