Anyone normally doing Gladstone parkrun?

I ended up running the canal this morning, not as bad as expected. Few cyclists and fairly well-behaved. I will do it again.

damn cyclists with those wheels

I will run to work for the first time tomorrow.
It will be the first long run as part of the marathon preparation, something like 12-13 miles, half of them along the Regents Canal (roughly).

Any advice on running along the canal on rush hour? I guess it will be full of commuters.
I will be running very slowly, trying not to be faster than 2 hours.

Any tips or advice appreciated.

FYI

I do this routine 3-4 times a week and it does the job pretty well:

I am actually. I want to get more into trail running this year.... Thanks.

TBH I switched completely back to Garmin Connect for cycling/running/swimming with the beginning of 2013. At least it keeps the real data coming out of their devices without making up stuff.

Plus it doesn't lack of many Strava features, maybe only segments but London is full of shitty ones anyway and I am quite fed up with commuters pretending to be in a TdF stage just for a segment.

I will still upload on Strava for the added nerdness of these tools though.

Anyone riding down from kilburn/nw?

I am. Still not 100% sure I am coming though. Will keep you posted.

Southern Europe as a bonus.

So, what about this 2013 plans? Any races booked yet?

As for me I'll try not to survive 3 marathons in 5 months between June and October and 2 HMs just before as part of the training leading to the first.

On a related note, any HMs in summer not too far from London worth checking out?

Does anything like Veloviewer exist for runs at all?

It's the cheapest on some items but yes, I'd rather spend 10 quid more and have it in less than 2 months. Especially if it's something I'd have to buy online anyway.

naa it looks proper yoga stuff just in an oven

I'll give it a try, it's just 2 steps from the office...

What kind of yoga have you done, out of curiosity?

I was thinking about giving it a try to get a bit more stretched and flexible and I've beed told bikram is good since there's a good cardio component as well (the hot one in a heated and humid room).

Now I will personally start to use Strava only to keep track of my runs and leave the few interesting rides I do for Garmin Connect, all this segments abuse is starting to be annoying.

Up for me.

I solved the problem leaving 90% of the smart clothes in the wardrobe at the office and I change there everyday no matter what way of transportation I use.

In the list I include also shoes, belts, ties and so on. It's just easier.

I was thinking the same...

I found something like this earlier today but if somebody has a better alternative I am interested.

So thanks to this thread I found out about ParkRun and the Regents Park 10Ks.

happy days

Commutes seem to be public as they show up in feeds. Not quite sure what the point is.

According to them it's just a label (I remember reading this from one of their support guys on their very supportive supporting forum).

(btw, truemilk, depending on which Garmin you've got there's a reset function (I think my Forerunner you hold down two buttons and the bezel) which'll be in the manual. Always clears mine when it freezes, and it boots straight up into working normally again)

Yep, found out this morning trying to google for a solution :(
In the end I didn't miss it too much to be honest, I enjoyed that distance for the first time and probably it was better this way. I'll remember for next time the fucker fucks itself up though.
