Some great c o n t e n t generation going on here. Obviously in for HDIP

It's going to happen! I brought the pipecutter (I'm not to be trusted with a hacksaw) in from the garage but wimped out

Please don't apologise! There's really no need, you sent a stranger on the internet free shoes, I'm really grateful!

Nice! Are you able to hang anything on the walls? Some early work or photos of it could be nice

Lol, the very same! I could be seen stumbling along the mersey muttering curses on you under my breath

A few weeks ago I entered Carsington Water Half, which is in March, so there's still something to focus on and aim to be back running for. Looking forward to a slightly less intense schedule and starting to throw some cycling back into the mix!

Old ones were kiprun ultralight, new ones were Nike zoom vomero

First draft with mudguards and bargain teravails from charity bike shop. I've been handwringing for a long time over what flavour of guard to go for, took the risk on sks silver and I'm happy with how they look! Feels kinda ctc

Interesting. I did do a shorter run in the newer shoes and it seemed okay. They seemed a fair bit more comfortable in fact, so it felt like a fairly safe move to dive in. I've also never had issues with any shoes before. Maybe some kind of rotation like this would be useful for me.

Thanks. 6 months ago I wasn't running at all because of a dodgy knee so just feeling pretty grateful to have been able to get this far!

We got Daisy spayed after her first season with us (her third overall), waited the recommended amount of time after it, though I can't remember how long that was. We really struggled to keep her calm in the period afterwards, she's very very energetic and active and to keep her from bounding around and walking upstairs at a slow pace was a constant headache. She ended up with a minor complication because of it - the area around the surgery scar filled with fluid (around the size of a couple golfballs), which was pretty scary but ultimately it settled and healed up nicely. For no more stressful seasons, and the health benefits, it was a bit of a no brainer for us. I was pretty scared about it all, having lost a dog when I was younger after she got spayed, but Daisy has been fine. Didn't get keyhole surgery.

So I don't think it's going to happen for me, left shin is in a fair amount of pain and it very much feels like one of those injuries that would get worse if I dragged myself around 21km. Pretty annoying for it to happen in the final week, it had gone really well up until then, only missed 2 runs for illness. I made some mistakes: a late shoe swap might have contributed to the injury. I was getting nervous about how worn my road shoes were getting and as the distance and intensity was increasing I thought it might be an injury risk, whoops. Also probably ran my last long run too hard.
Never mind though, I started the training plan to build some fitness, get into a routine and challenge myself a bit. It was as much about the process as the event itself. Nice to get a 10k pb out of it too!

Oof! New bike must be good to be replacing this!

Lovely photos

Was fine for us with our 23kg alsation/lurcher cross. We made sure she got loads of stimulation, walks and play and honestly didn't miss the extra space or private garden. The one downside would be having to harness/lead up for a wander outside for the night time wee, instead of just opening the backdoor.

Nicely justified. Is there an argument for curved forks for comfort? Or is that just perceived. Maybe that benefit disappears with the extra strength needed for discs too. Or maybe I've been browsing too much Thorn pdf.

I've not seen a clip of him that doesn't look like he's acting

@ginllfixit might be, he's building a steel fixed and wants a straight nice fork

Edit: his bike will be too big, ignore me

Would love to join this, looking forward to pics and tales. Hope the conditions are good

Amazing

Cool. Would love to do something like this one day

I think I'm going to hold out for something else, thanks though!

Nice, do you know the casing/compound?

As per title. Budget is probably around £50, and they'd need posted to Manchester.

Hey, so yeah it's all sorted with payment plans and not costing me any interest so I'm feeling relatively in the clear there.
Going to take a look at vanguard for sure, thanks.
