It's not cheap at all but I got a pretty decent discount code at their stand outside the North Bank when I ran the Wolves 10k, so that it made it a bit more affordable. The running shorts I got are extremely comfortable and have decent space with a zip pocket. I hasten to add that I would...

As I said in the Wolves subforum - their stuff is good!

A great tip I've been given recently is going slow makes you go fast. Hopefully you'll adapt quickly, then you could introduce longer runs at slower paces and that's when my fitness started improving dramatically.

Yeah I'll definitely do some trail races at some point. Might be a 2026 thing once the marathon is out of the way for something a bit different.

I've got a few more races booked in this year - the last of which is the Worcester City Half in September, which will be my primary target. I have: Manchester 10k in 2 weeks Rutland 10k in June Black Country to Birmingham Half Marathon in July Worcester City Half Marathon in September I've...

Previous PB: 1:49:49 Target: 1:45:00 Best case scenario: 1:40:00 Actual time: 1:35:05 Not quite sure how I managed that to be honest. The whole run just went perfectly, I managed a negative split and felt really strong at the end, I don't think anyone went past me in the last 4 miles. Delighted!

Thanks - it's supposed to be much cooler on Sunday. And I'm in the 2nd wave of 6 so I'll be starting at 8.45am so it should be perfect temperatures around then.

It's the Great Birmingham Run on Sunday - I'm doing the Half Marathon, which will be my first ever HM race. I've only ever run that distance twice before, just around the local neighbourhood. And the last time I did that was over 4 years ago. Very excited about it - I've genuinely loved...

Game Pass is SO good. Brand new Doom game comes out in mid-May and that looks ridiculous. Enjoy!

And... I'm in. What the fuck am I doing??!?

Worcester Pitchcroft. 3rd time I've done that one. Great course for a fast time

Yep - currently in the queue!

I'd take it if there was a decimal between the 1 and the 5

Got my first ever sub-20 minute 5k at Parkrun this morning. Finished in 19:52, a 20 second PB. Never ever thought I'd manage to do that, dead proud of myself

I will never understand why it bothers these bigoted cunts so much. But any post like this acts like the Bat signal to these twats. "It ay got nuffin to do wiv football" Outlandish suggestion here - but why don't you not go to the Pride event if you feel this way?
