I've just got involved in a pacers' whatsapp group, so we can keep in touch with plans. So far all I've seen is in-depth discussion about whether the balloons should be on shorter lengths of string, because so many were lost to tree branches last year. It's literally ALL about the balloons!
More pacing practise in the wind this morning, sort of. 9.7 miles w/ 6 miles alternating target pace 6:50/6:20 each mile, ended up with 6.39, 6.14, 6.42, 6.19, 6.44, 6.19 feeling reasonably comfortable.

I second suggestions of joining a club, which is just as good for adding a bit of variety of running opportunities as it is for getting fitter/faster/whatever. And I'll obviously push Kent AC at Ladywell as a recommendation! PM me if you want any details.
I brought forward plans to start sub-3 pacing practise last night, mainly cos I was a bit pushed for time anyway so I thought I might as well get a wriggle on. 10 windy miles @ 6:46/m, felt pleasingly comfortable. (Apart from pressing on for the uphill bits, stubbornly keeping inside target pace!)
Oh, has anyone got experience of Adidas Solar Drive Boost? I saw them reasonably priced online and went for it. Reviews suggest they're closer in feel to my old favourite Glide Boost, compared to the softer Supernova/Solar Glide models that are supposed to have replaced them.
