Letting Cheltenham go ahead seemed like a bad idea at the time let alone now; 250,000 pissed up people cramming into the paddock for each race was never going to be helpful. Distinctly remember the ITV rhetoric being along the lines of the meet being a final hurrah before those bloody politicians end our fun - strange

Surprised how long it took to descend to this, think someone mentioned Godwin's Law a few pages back?

who did you vote for?

lol

Thanks, will have a look

I was at 21ish when i last ran one a month or so ago, have been increasing distance and am probably at 22 1/2 now when running 10-15k+. @DerDieDas i think you're right - see where I'm at and go from there. I'm in lockdown out in the sticks at the inlaws so hills have been a novel addition to running, completely ill prepared!

Hi all - now that the Hackney half has been postponed I feel like i need another goal to keep me going, so thinking about trying to go <20mins for a 5k. My 'training' at the moment has consisted of increasingly lenghty runs at a relatively comfortable pace, starting from zero at the beginning of the year. Having read bits and bobs on the benefits of tempo runs, is the general consensus that this is the best way to increase speed? Where does one start?!

lol

Had 2 different sets of people try and get into a non existent airbnb in my block by Loughbrough Junction in the year i was there, media blackout from the 'host' as soon as said people arrive in London. Seemingly excellent value with almost zero reviews...

FWIW Borough Market is still well stocked with overpriced foodstuffs - eerily quiet, grim expressions on the face of traders.

I for one would be interested in destroying my spine should you decide to sell

completely agree/need to do, far too easy to justify shortening route when halfway through what you planned

Yeah appreciate the idea - running for that period of time is going to be desperately dull , but definitely need to build up more of a solid base before I experiment with anything else. main restriction on increasing distance at this point is my bowels, think i need to stop rushing out first thing...

thanks - will try and stretch it out a bit over the coming weeks!

As an almost complete novice who has signed up a half: in general better to build up longer distances then faster kms or faster kms and try and build distance?

Bastard

In an interesting twist of fate whilst out to dinner last night the fucking dog ripped the fucking cuffs of my fucking jacket - anyone got any ideas as to whether fixable or not? Do rapha do repairs or anything (as ludicrous as this one)? Aside from folding the sleeves upwards and sewing back on, not sure what else to do, can’t really do with losing an inch or two of the arms...

yes - price tumbling down

Evening all - bit of a long shot here but does anyone by chance have a wahoo i could borrow for the weekend? thinking of changing from fixed to geared (RIP my knees) so have rented one of the Canyons from Rapha to see what all the fuss is about. Hoping to get some miles in the legs tomoz outside of my normal endz so having a GPS would be ideal vis a vis not getting lost/constantly checking phone/having that annoying lady shout in my ear.

Will obviously repay in eternal gratitude/beers!

have a good weekend all

Hi - can you confirm the fizik saddle and avid brake levers are still available? work laptop does something strange to the way the forum is formatted...

Thanks - potentially - trying to initially work out how best to maximise the space, and get the nod from the gf on the aesthetics front. In my head I had something like the below with an additional ridge in it, but am wary of it falling to bits in 5 minutes...

Hi all - trying to hang two bikes off the same mount in a not too offensive manner - anyone got any suggestions? thanks
