    No not really, just made me laugh as ‘who ?’ does come up a lot in conversation. :D

    You should try having a girlfriend 22 years your junior, I have conversations like that everyday :D

    All distances really, did the Eiger Ultra Trail 51k in the summer, the Snowdonia Marathon in October, I’ll do a spring marathon and then I’ve entered Race To The Stones 100k in the summer, then I’ll do another mountain marathon in late summer and then back to Snowdonia. Having a bit of a break until new year, so only running 40 ish miles a week, 3 spin classes and a Parkrun just to keep some speed in the legs at the moment.

    I tend to end up upside down in a hedge after 3 pints these days but yes beer and lots of it maybe the answer :D

    Anyone else struggling to keep weight on ? I’ve been vegan for about a year now, it coincided with me coming back from a long term running injury, so I expected the weight loss at first. I’m eating loads, feel great, running the best times I’ve ever run at 48 years old but I am struggling to maintain my weight.

    I’ve been to doctors been given a clean bill of health but my weight keeps creeping down, I’m eating like a pig but I’m starting to look like Mo Farah. I’m even starting to get tempted by those monster get fat shakes you buy at body building shops. To give you an idea, when I left school at 16 I was county xc champion and weighed 9.5 stone. Now I’m 8 stone 10 😱

    Built by somebody called Guy Rodgers in the south west somewhere, I've got one of his frames and love it :) He was something to do with a shop called Hot Persuits ?

    I know it's mental! I've done it for the last few years, I'm hoping its people who lose them or don't get one as they took longer than 7.5 hours but I suspect a few people buy them to put on their office desk to pretend :D

    Is it wrong that I just sold both my wife's and my VLM medal on eBay ? Thing is they'd just go in a drawer never to see light of day again :D I'd rather £170 in my pocket 😳

    Well my best VLM so far so got to be happy :) managed to hold sub 3 pace for 17 miles but knew I was going to blow spectacularly if I tried to maintain it so eased off. Got a fantastic stitch at mile 24 which almost stopped me in my tracks but it eased enough to let me enjoy the last mile and a half.

    Finished in 3:06:12 which is a 7 minute pb so got to be happy, although I'm a little sad that Snowdon is no longer my marathon pb :D
