Been eyeing up one of these for winter, they talk the talk with the Nikwax

Can’t speak for the masterbuilt but I bought a KJ Classic II this summer and it’s a fantastic bit of kit, build quality is great and the divide and conquer system works really well - accessories are addictive though!

Hackney Half today - forgot what a lovely race this is, so much cheering and people banging out tunes from their windows along the route!

Training hasn’t been on point recently but crawled home 2 seconds shy of 2 hours.

Ow my legs hurt now though.

Our Lily could be her twin! 10 weeks and settling into a serious biting phase, particularly during 9pm mad hour. Roll on Monday when she can finally go out and get tired from walking rather than playing with all the shoes! (Photo when much cuter less bitey!)

Lockers allocated to staff unfortunately so don't think you be able to use for one day! I've attached the map of cycle storage locations from the intranet, I think the double decker rack by the south tower might be your best bet in terms of security although they can be a pain to lock to!

Just went on and got the last one! Reviews look pretty good and can’t argue with the price, looking forward to giving it a blast!

Chapeau! Got on the page through the queue at 8.01 and they were already sold out!

On that note I’ve got a standard seat post going if anyone is in need!

The Abbey Tavern in Kentish Town has screens outside, caught a game there during the last lockdown.

Top man, will drop you an e-mail tomorrow!

Anyone got any thoughts on B75 versus the real deal? Got a £1500 Cycle scheme voucher pending and was holding out for an M3L but they are gold dust atm, tempted to cancel it and splodge for this instead!

Nice! Been enjoying the training updates, looking forward to hearing the race report!

Nice one!

A combination of these:

Although mainly rolling my foot compulsively over a cold ginger beer can...

Plantar fasciitis is a bastard isn’t it?

Second flare in 6 months - probably related to some over enthusiastic distance building.

Currently sleeping in a sock which looks like a set square I had at school to stretch it out at night, and hobbling in the morning.

Much calf stretching beckons!

What a difference a proper fitting pair of shoes makes! Got some Brooks Ghosts through today on gait analysis recommendation and felt like I was sailing along on pillows - made me realise how little cushioning my old pegasus' have. Weirdly seemed to be quicker aswell!

Corned beef hash and the reggae reggae was a uni staple... hungry for it now!

Thanks chaps will give it a go!

Any tips for keeping a nice slow pace for those long aerobic runs? Seems a bit of a silly question but all too often find my self just pushing myself a little faster and suddenly Kms gone and the breathing is a fair bit harder! Really trying to build a solid base layer of fitness but too tempting to gun it harder.

More self discipline perhaps?

On the plus side some lovely miles today down the canal to lime house, the tow path by Victoria park was even semi tolerable!!

Long time lurker first time caller...

Have been a non committed dabbler for a number of years, and finally picked up my mileage a bit last year and upped my furthest distance to 20km. Unfortunately probably overdid it and managed an adductor strain and plantar fasciitis 2 months apart which disrupted things somewhat.

This year is the year to crack on - finally got some gait analysis booked in (albeit virtually via runandbecome) as I suspect I have a slight instep; and scored a place for the Berlin Mara of it goes ahead!

Completely underestimated the meditative effect of lacing up and putting some miles in, really missed it when sidelined!

Agreed! Those wounds are a bastard to suture anyway as not much subcutaneous tissue, and liable to tear due to the movement!

Healing in that area can be tricky as it’s over a joint, so will be ‘disturbed’ every time the finger bends. Redness doesn’t always mean infection - local inflammation do the same thing. Any discharge? How old is the injury? Was it closed initially or just left to heal?

Coi: ex a&e doc

Crossroads of Hackney Rd/Cambridge Heath Rd closed off at the moment, looks like Boris bike on the floor outside the overground station in front of an HGV that was turning left.

Praying the rider's not injured too badly.

I went half a size down for my Chambords.

Seen them doing something similar at the top of Holloway Road on bonfire night last year with a proper checkpoint, did wonder if I was cycling down into some kind of major incident!
