One Team In Keynsham

That's a handy time, well done.

I've done 5 of those. Have heard good things about Stockholm. Istanbul is a surprisingly good race, if you were looking for possibles: has the quirk of running through 2 continents.

I find that my Garmin 935 will record a distance, say 2.00 miles even: to then get it to sync to Strava as 2.00 miles I have to run 2.03 on my Garmin. Never been able to fathom why.

My Garmin watch syncs to my phone via the Garmin Connect app. Then within Garmin Connect it uploads to Strava. I.e. you may be able to keep your normal app and then just to Strava. Obviously depends on the particular device.

Welcome aboard

I have no idea as to the accuracy to be honest. The watch does do everything I need, and covers multiple activities.

I have a Garmin 935 running watch, which includes a heart rate monitor. I must confess, I pay little attention to my heart rate, or tracking zones, when I run: if I have to run 9 min miles for a sub 4 marathon, the heart rate will be whatever it will be. I don't promote this as a particularly responsible approach.

I enjoyed John Hanc's The Coolest Race On Earth, about one of the Antarctica marathons.

Few bits of advice I picked up and followed over the years. I realise that all of these bits are not possible in a lockdown world. - stick to "proper" running shoe brands (Brooks, Saucony, Asics) and avoid Nike and Adidas and the like: this has worked for me, but it may well be different for you. - get your running gait analysed and pick a type of shoe appropriate: for me, I pronate so wear a stability shoe - go into the store with an open mind and get the best shoe within your budget regardless of brand and colour: I basically would try anything based on my requirements, and only asked I didn't get offered pairs in pink. - try a sample of shoes on a treadmill or running about the store, and whittle down: for now, get a few pairs with ability for hassle free returns and keep the one that works. After all this, and trial and error, I have ended up with Brooks Adrenaline GTS. They tweak the style each year, but the fitting is unchanged so I buy online. Only other advice is to also invest in good running socks. After working through various brands I ended up with Balega. Although hampered now by non-running issues, I use to run marathons, and Brooks and Balega got me through a lot of those with minimal, if any, injury and blister issues.

I tended to replace mine after 250 miles or so. I pronate and needed the cushioning from newer soles due to my lumbering gait. Generally kept a few pairs in rotation.

Fair dos. I didn't read back the whole thread to source.

Depends on what scale you are comparing him to. If you compare to other people in his industry, then there are people on 10+ multiples of his salary. If you compare to people in other industries, then take your pick, and you can make a point either way. But that doesn't seem to be a fair argument to me. I can't think there is a person in this country who wouldn't want, for example, to pay nurses more than they currently get. But you resolve that by increasing funding to the NHS and paying nurses more, not by attacking footballers' salary arrangements. For me? I don't begrudge Kalas 20k/week: the club presumably were happy to offer it. Why would he refuse that and take a lower wage? Whether the club should be paying salaries beyond its financial means is a separate argument.

Please don't post links to that shite rag.

16 years ago today.

I was in hospitality for the West Brom game last season and was fortunate to be sat next to Cheese for the meal and HT. This is pretty much word for word what he told us.

I think it's Stevie Wonder.

Just settling down to watch Contagion on ITV2. I love those far-fetched disaster movies, they are a great break from the mundane reality of day-to-day life.

Having dealt with CI Gov for 20+ years I'm surprised they even had an email inbox for the curfew exemptions. Stay safe and good luck. Not expecting the airport to open anytime soon.

I was chatting to my boss yesterday about holidays, and it came up that even if you picked a place open for business for tourism, would there actually be a carrier able to take you there. In assessing the possible long term fall-out of this situation, the only limitation is one's imagination.

I've told you before @Red-Robbo don't be bringing facts and logic into debates on here.

It is stunning. Worth a visit when all this shite is behind us.

Having visited Lyon for Euro 2016 and then for the 2018 Europa League final, with the obvious crowds both times, it is mad seeing the city like this.

I saw a pic this morning from a friend who lives at Laguna Del Mar: some idiot was paddle-boarding up 7MB, clearly part of the "rules don't apply to me" camp. I saw the reports of the 20k+ applications for waiver: not bad from a workforce that can't be much over 30k. My wife got over to England the day before the airport closed, but our dogs are still there, enjoying foster lockdown life at various places across the island.

Latest story on the Guardian feed. Utter c>nts if proven. 3m ago12:54 A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after a doctor was robbed on his way to hospital on Wednesday night. The victim was forced to withdraw a “two-figure” sum from a cash machine after being approached by two people on foot and one on a bicycle in Harlow, Essex. Police said the robbery, which began at around 9.25pm in Market Square, was one of three incidents in the town within an hour on Wednesday night which have been linked.
