Bizarre transfer window in the end. £30 mill for squad players is a mad place to be in. Surprised Valencia went to Everton in the end, decent player. Needs an arm around him to perform and get the talent out of him. Anyway onwards to internationals to see how Torinos no1 performs!

Seems like Conte is defenders difficult to come by. Rumours of a bid for Ogbonna aswell. Other rumours saying Madrid want rid of Isco or Rodrigues so they can bring in Payet. And after all that we are signing either Micah Richards or Alvaro Arbeloa...is it 2010 again?

That does look like an amazing race. Exactly the kind of thing I am shooting for eventually which means the bike is taking a distant back seat at the moment.

Decent 5.5 mile tempo run run for me last night. Tried my new injini socks which were ace. Like the lightweight feeling compared to the bombproof 1000 milers I usually use.

Bad 1st half better 2nd half. Bonus that we made City sweat for abit even though they should have been well out of sight! Got to take the difficult start on the chin and make sure we put Watford away after the international break.

Embarrassing!

Asked myself the same question a lot. He makes a difference for us when he is fit. That when is a very narrow window admittedly and in the absence of another striker coming forward we have persevered. I dont think that attitude will last much longer at the rumored 120k a week. He's signed until 2019.

Chairmen said they wanted a marquee/mythical 20 goal a season striker in June. Got turned down by everyone and his dog. But a striker must be had at all costs to show the club is "progressing" and appease us fans. This summers window has not filled me with the confidence that last years did.

On Perez, he is very solid. Did well in a middle of the road Depor team last year. Unfortunately I think he will be this seasons Joel Campbell for Arsenal.

Yup, true story. The barriers are by the pubs/bars so you cant just walk across the road you have to go around the houses....literally.

Dave only "likes" us because of Brady and Obama.

Was totally abject last night. No style or guile at all. Saying that we should still have won with the chances we had. Fletcher looks like a right prospect.

Stadium is alright, some good bits some not so good. Lets not forget the Boleyn could be a flipping graveyard at times aswell.

Those injinji toe socks look interesting, might try a pair. Loving the colours you can get!

I use 1000 mile socks and never had any problems with them.

Excellent work @rhb congrats

Working on endurance for me this weekend. Tried the heel lock way of tying my shoes for the first time. My god what a difference! #suchanoob!

Great effort @HatBeard hope the knee heals up quick.

@rhb that is a great patch. Is the 4hrs 26 your time? How do you rate the Jurek balls? on the look out for something like that.

Chapeau @hippy. What a ride!

Clusterfu#k of traffic from Richmond to Chelsea this morning. Difficult! lackofsleep/10!

Two calls - 1 for me for missing the lights on Millbank this AM. Was just a fraction too slow, So Sorry!!. Second for the douche who pulled onto the pavement across the front wheel of a lady on a Boris bike by Tower Hill. Dont know how she stopped and held it up.

Congrats @skinny in total awe of all these guys and girls.

@rhb like the diy setup much more than the vest tbh seems to do exactly the same thing. Change to SS Jersey & arm warmers if it is a scorcher??

Just signed up for a 10k on Clapham Common in October. Any recommendations where I can find training plans outside of RW website?Dont think I'm quite confident enough to write my own...

@juanito Good luck at the docs.

As for the 5k, thanks. The course is pretty bland if im honest but has a decent flow to it. laps are 1 mile long. It is undulating but I found the downhills were graded well enough that you can keep control and maintain a high pace. The up hills are not even that and are short and not sharp. The tarmac is wide & super smooth aswell so you never feel boxed in or trapped.

Nothing specific in the diary yet. Looking at 10k's at the moment. Want to go up through the distances.

1st race in 5 years yesterday @ the lee valley 5k. Finished 7th out of 50 odd and 4th Male, not too shabby plus a pb.

Onwards and upwards.

When I grow up I want to be @juanito

That sounds amazing!!

@rhb Thanks will give that a shot, need something more than water when it gets humid.
Hope your tumble wasn't too bad. Great pics, excellent work.

Good luck @rhb
Easy 2.5 miler for me with no ascent because well Essex! Made a rookie error going out with drinking any water meaning my right thigh cramped!

^ I think im fairly lucky, the warmer it gets the better I feel so the humidity does not give me any problems. I have seen alot of runners struggling this week, particularly in the city, which I am putting down to the weather so I think you are far from alone.
