I ran a local trail race yesterday. The weather was awful, leaving the field who did turn up and start exchanging a few questioning glances as we all ran up a big, open hillside in a thunderstorm.
I had a lot of fun, and embraced the soaking and mud as good prep for the upcoming XC season which I'll be taking part in for the first time. Despite a 10k next weekend being my main focus and this just fitting in with training, I came away with 12th place overall which I was really happy about.
Now in a super busy work week where I'll struggle to get any miles in.

That's really excellent, stick with it. I did C25K as a return to running and the running legs came back surprisingly quickly.
-
Lately, I feel like it would get a lot of use. I've inadvertently gone up a size, otherwise I'd have worn my existing Gore jacket. I'm not always running with 'my' group, so I feel the cold more on the slower runs.
That LED spider looks interesting! Does it just hook over the shoulders, or connect under the arms as well?
-
Does anyone have a recommendation for a jacket, erring on the side of waterproof, that's sufficiently visible and reflective for a club night on the road? Budget of up to £200ish.
Or am I better getting something inherently dark (e.g. Goretex dark-only colours) and supplementing it with something bright/shiny?
-
Yep, that’s the one. I can’t really recall the chronology of the pedal, but when I got it I thought the toggle was odd when it could have been a foot switch, so maybe the two button version wasn’t available at the time.

Thanks. Since I've stopped gigging, I sold a load of pedals I had amassed over the years, and invested in a a few nice ones to cover the sounds I want to get at home. Just a couple more to get.
The Broadcast is a great pedal, both in looks and sound. They have been around a while, but I think a lot of people find they are both distinct and versatile enough for a spot on the board, hence so popular still.
As @Sparky says, the low gain side is a nice boost for the crunch coming from the RD. Flip the switch to the high gain side, and it's a really fun distortion with a gnarly fuzzy characteristic.
Muffroom -> Broadcast -> Revival is ticking all the boxes for me at the moment.
-
Thanks, that looks perfect. It can be used in floors and furniture, so hard wearing and I can use the same product for the whole board.
-
That’s really good to know. This needs to be hard wearing. Do you recall what Osmo you used?
I’ve just looked at what we have, and it’s (unsurprisingly) Door Oil, which isn’t recommended for ply.
-
I'm not sure if this is best asked here, or over in the Home DIY thread, but as there might be some cross over, I'll start here.
I've been building a new pedalboard over the last week or so. Oak, with a birch ply base and shelf.
I've got some Osmo for the oak, left over from when we had new doors fitted, but what about the ply? Osmo as well, or something else?

How do I stop a flush pipe from leaking? It's a back to wall, cabinet, and cistern type set up. When I disassembled it, the pipe seemed a bit short, not extending in to the toilet as far as the ridge. I've replaced the pipe (now going in to the toilet as far as the ridge) and the seal cone thing that goes in to the toilet, but there is still a very slight seep from the cone.
