    Who's watching the 2012 Tour de France?

    If you cheat, you should be DQed. It's pretty simple in my opinion. Doesn't matter if he's an inspiration or a national hero, if he's proved to have cheated, he's a disgrace and a poor role model for the kids. Such a shame he felt he had to do it because he would probably have still won a...

    Hello all!

    Just to let you all know: I completed it! My calves were screaming like the first time I forefoot struck but I felt good otherwise. There were 30,000 other runners and I didn't cross the line 'til 15 mins after the gun so traffic in the first half was a massive issue (as you can see from the...

    Hello all!

    So after some doubt, I've committed to running the 10k on Sunday. I managed just over 20km training with 8km as my longest run... It'll be ok, right?!

    Who's watching the 2012 Tour de France?

    They are averaging 25mph only because they are coasting for 90% of the day! What boggles my mind is the sprint finishes where the top guys are hitting a peak of over 50mph and time trials where they average 35mph! I've been watching every stage this year for the first time as I'm getting more...

    A month of just running.

    I hate exercising with a HRM now. I did it for a while, but I found I needed it so tight to stop it slipping while I run, that it inhibited my breathing. Tunes went away ages ago because they mess up my cadence. I ran with audio books for a while, but I found I don't really need the...

    How can I start to love running again?

    Thanks for the words guys =) Much to think about. Really hope the weather holds up this week because I know that I'll enjoy it more if the sun's shining! Will report back if I find anything.

    Hello all!

    Just to clarify; that picture was from 2 months ago! My foot is much better now and I've clocked 550km on my bike over the last 4 weeks. Really looking forward to the 10km and psyching myself up for it now. I was on the bike tonight, but I'll be running again tomorrow because my foot feels...

    A month of just running.

    I don't see running (or cycling) with a Garmin to be a terrible burden. I fire it up as I get changed and then strap it on as I leave the house. I'll glance at it a couple of times during a run or cycle, then spend 5 mins (?) uploading it to my PC when I get home. Am I doing it wrong?

    How can I start to love running again?

    Chaps & Chapettes, During the second half of last year; when I first started running, and then minimal/BF running, I really enjoyed running for the most part. Yes, I had some runs which felt a bit tortuous and I was getting the kms in just because they were on my training plan, but I also had...

    Hello all!

    Hey guys & gals! I've been absent recently... Well for a couple of months or so; ever since I did this: It was a pretty stupid accident - slipping on some wet stairs - and I wasn't even drunk! But it left me with three torn ligaments and absolutely no desire to read about everyone having...

    Cycling!!!!

    There's all sorts of recumbent bikes. You don't have to get one of the super low and streamlined ones; there are many which sit much higher and are way more visible to motorists. You could also put a big old whip aerial on the bag with a little flag to show you are there =P I'm surprised that...

    Cycling!!!!

    I rode for two years straight without having a single spare at home or on my bike! Then I have a 80 mile ride with colleagues and I buy one spare tube 'just in case' and get two punctures in one day... *sigh*

    Anyone ride motorcycles?

    Could you put them into a waterproof bag and lock them to your motorcycle? I see plenty of people locking their helmets to their bikes.
