My mojo is in the bin.. I hit my goal 5km time mid-November which I’d worked towards since summer. Now nothing booked until a marathon end of April.
Dark, rainy nights and work travel have written-off the last month. Fitness feels to have gone out the window and just no real urge to run. I usually manage some decent, longer stuff over the Christmas break but really feel in a funk at the moment.

I rate my OMM synthetic insulated gilet..
I also finally got a glove arrangement I’m happy with .. some liners with the fingertips that work a phone screen, then over them some Salomon windcheater mitts.
My descriptions are cack.. let me find a few product names:
OMM Rotor Vest
Salomon Bonatti Waterproof GlovesI’d be interested in others’ suggestions for running trousers/tights (school-run appropriate)

Happy Thursday.. new watch for today’s early flight. My brother in law recently set-up modding Seikos and built me this. I wanted a smaller (38mm) watch with a 12 hour bezel and a date window. Many of my colleagues are in US so it’s nice to be able to track a second timezone at a glance. If anyone’s in the market for something custom I can pass on his details.

I’ll attempt to update this thread as I go.. excuses in early, everything will need posting (I’m in Leeds) and away from home a lot so prompt delivery not guaranteed. Also, I’m terrible at checking back on threads so PM much appreciated.
Broken Amazon Firestick.. brand new but the first time I plugged it in I ignored the requirement to use external power.. it seems this put it into a perpetual start-up cycle.
I attempted a few half-arsed Reddit searches and then promptly forgot to return it.
I think it’s possible this can be fixed but I’m not the person to do it.
Pay the forum a donation of £10 and let me have your address and I’ll post it out. -

Minor update.. I drank just under 2 pints of beetroot juice in the last few days since I first asked the question.. I had various minor gastric occurrences but generally all OK.
This evening I ran a 5km PB (on a very flat, fast course) .. no causal link between the two things implied but I’m very pleased with myself so I felt like sharing.
19:41 for anyone wondering which is objectively not that impressive, but I’ve never gone below 20 before and as a slightly overweight 43 year old I feel justified in celebrating.
Now just need to source EPO

Gone to eBay
Excuses in early .. I don’t have a box to ship this just yet so some patience will be required from the buyer.. I’m also terrible at checking back on threads so PM much preferred.
My son’s Skog.. bought when he was about 5 and used until recently (8)
Converts from a balance bike to pedal bike with a couple of sizing options along the way. Belt drive.
This is actually the second of these we bought .. the first was stolen from outside his school and we replaced it .. so I have twice the spare parts and tools required to convert which I’ll include
Scuffs, marks, wear and a tiny bit of rust on the allen bolts .. but very good condition and stored indoors.
A brilliant bike that he took to right away, no stabilisers.
More photos on request .. check the black mountain site for geo and more details. https://blackmountain.bike/collections/epok-series/products/skog?variant=7353137889303
