its really annoying, but... yep. a transit is hard to beat most of the time. 1000s of them oit there so should be alright to get in whstever budget and spec you want. it doesnt matter which size you go with they all feel pretty much the same to drive and have decent towing capacity. and load space is really good.

i probably will end up going for fittings alright, but having a bit of pre acquired knowledge helps cut through the sales blumff and avoid gettin sucked i to the pitch to "upgrade" to a pair a of nike vapourfly or some other massively over priced shoe thanks for the Brooks tip, hadnt heard/noticed them previously so will have a look for them

from the running diary, you'll know ive started running - since July. i need new trainers, but they will be for running only, not day to day use. Im currently wearing out my 3rd pair of Asics Patriots, which ive always liked as a good fit, pretty light, supportive and look alright. but theyve really been day to day footwear in between wearing toe capped boots in work all day and house shoes at home with my 1 night a week at circuit training for an hour. so, whose got a recommendation for a good fit, supportive and lightweight road running shoe? i like sketchers too, but their recent shoes are a very narrow and so too tight across the instep.

oh my god... thursday was tough. i was tired after the week to that point. and running after a steak dinner it seems isnt a good idea. today, its a worse idea to run after a delicious take away Steak and Pepper Loaded Fries. cramp at about 3k, and heavy running with it. running at 930 at night also mightnt be a great idea... ahwell. push harder monday night after a chicken dinner..

the canera on my own A20e is pretty darn good, and i have an iphone XR work phone which is as good or better. i doubt either of them would get that level of "wing frame" detail..

@ColinD whats the fit like on Alpkit stuff? by measurements im a small, but itsborderline to medium. i know tighter is better (to a point) for base layers, but if the fit is tight i may be better going med. but dont want it bagy either.

in Ireland, but my experience of vodafone for 10yrs now is. .... grand. best value packages available we had 50mb bb that we always got above 35 with. we were fibre to cabinet and cabinet only 200m away. now have 1gig fibre to the house, its good, but the routers arent as good strength wise as the older ones. however, MIL lives atound the corner in the same estate and also with VF , same package as us, she ditched during the week as she has had constant hassle with the wifi dropping out and the landline not working. finally got sick them and is going AYCE data on her mobile and using that for hotspotting her tab for 1/2 /the monthly cost.

so i got myself an arm strap for me phone. just a cheapy universal type, which was going to make button pushing awkward for the stopwatch. so i dug out the auld crivit sport (Lidl) heart rate watch. didnt bring the HR strap, no battery for it Ran the "Winter Route" again. 26m 10sec for a 5.2km. Happy.

thanks colin, Ill look into those. i just mapped the route i did on Sunday night, its 2.6km each way so 5.2km total. so my time wasnt as much off my pre break pace as i thought also the fact its a bit hillier *not very, just more than the river bank ...* orobably added to the overall workout. im happy

how do you let things get that far out of control during a jump start???

so, i got to leave for my run at about 21:25hrs. gone cold and dark. also, due to the storms during the week and increased flood risk the LA had put up a few of the lower land flood barriers blocking all access to my usual route. but equally the route i went instead is well street lit where the river side "Blue Way" is... not. i have to google map it to see, as i ran to the same rough geographic location ust on road instead of by the river, but it may have been a tad longer by road. anyway. . my time was. .. 26m 50sec. not quite meaningless, as this will likely become my winter route now. bp 2mins post run was about 120 according to a cheap app i downloaded. not sure what it was at peaks, didnt check. i think a thread to find a good fitbit may be needed. also need to get some decent under armour or something i think for the winter, it was a lot colder than it has been since i started running in july, but... still sweaty even though my skin was cold. we shall do some googling for the winter running. interestingly, 1hr post run - after some food and a shower im at 95bpm.

so last sunday night got bypassed as we were too busy packing for our break away and prepping the house for the bathroom refit. still incomplete due to factors but hey ho. i had plannedomaking up for it during the staycation, but the roads around our holiday home were a bit too windy to running on in the dark, and... the weather was horrific a couple of days, and we were busy living out of suitcases etc and so time of evening was short anyway. going tonight though... should be a horrible run after a week off!

Wednesday night... running when an Orange Wind and Rain warming is about to come into affect is tough. the extra layer of a light jacket, hivis, and still wet trainers cost me time.. However.. Friday night, my runners had nearly dried out, no jacket required, and so... another new PB i avoided time checking other than at the turn to set the lap. i was feeling pretty bashed on the home climb, so felt i was on a good time which pushed to keep the pace up. glad i did when hit the grass and saw my time

i uused to love this metric... at 16,17,19 i had a fitness assessment done at my nearby gym. the general cardio test was / is -resting heart rate -3mins standard exercise ( step on and off a step at a set pace) -heart rate -3 min rest heart rate my heart rate 3min post exercise was always lower than my initial resting HR. god love the poor gym instructors they could never figure out how my body did that. i always told i find exercising relaxing you can do these on exercise bikes and stuff, and i always got "error, results outside of parameters" messages on them for the same reason.. i caused enough of a stir once that cctv cameras were checked. no-one believed that i could do the "100 floors challenge" on the step machines in under 10mins... it could be done - ram the setting up to the max level and just hammer it. i miss those days when i do that... i couldnt run a mile on a treadmill, but could stair climb like an Ibex.. :)
