mine went haywire a few years back and was less reliable than my wrist one. Haven't missed it to be honest, I rarely bother to look at HR.

Used to get the occasional chafing from it too. I never raced in one either, too constrictive.

Going back a few pages for the 86 last year I think I did 14 gels and five batches of SIS Go powder over thirteen hours. Wouldn't want to do any more.

Blimey I'm sure they were £20 last year. They do know what they're doing and put on a good event but £26 for a 10K is pushing it.

A win is a win is a win

My max HR is as correct as possible yet it still occasionally tells me I can run a two and a half hour marathon which is not correct.

Meh, 17:40 or thereabouts. I ran 45 seconds faster basically a year ago.

Not happened yet, I'm on NZ time

Running a flat 5km tonight, first race post 100km. I have absolutely no clue where my fitness is so it could be a good surprise or I could blow up after a mile. Who knows.

Tarawera Ultramarathon in 13 and a half hours time. Terrified.

I didn't get lapped thankfully so had very little thinking to do. 17:08, I ran faster than that on the road last year, time to get back to speedwork I think.

Sage advice. Track racing is a thing I've kinda skipped so I have no idea how to go about it. I will 100% still manage to go out too quick because that is my M.O. Will have a KM split in mind and try and hit it

I'm racing my first ever track 5000m tomorrow night, a week before a trail 100km. Any tips?

My Mi A1 did an Android update the other day, ever since it won't stay connected to the WiFi (having to sit within a couple of meters of the router, and it's eating battery). Anyone else having similar issues?

First long one in Australia today. Left an hour later than planned so got a bit hot. 23 miles at 6:55 along along the Dandenong Creek trail which is as flat as it sounds. Loads of runners here, and saw some pelicans and some tiny lizards.

@bananaskid I haven't looked into it but I am in Melbourne for the next four weeks so may well find something - will let you know if I do

@rhb @juanito I felt very uneasy about it at first because I'm obviously nowhere near the best ultra runner anywhere but I was finally persuaded that as I turned up and won it I should talk about it.

Sub 2:45 I think is very achievable, I'd like to shoot for a sub 2:40.

2018 highlights, I took my running seriously for the first time and ran serious miles (finished on 3515 for the year). Set PB's at everything from 5K to marathon despite being disappointed by London. Think the sub-75 half was the best of those. I went back to the Ridgeway 86 and somehow took a surprise win, and with it became the national ultra trail champion which is surreal.

2019, I'm racing Tarawera 102km in February which is my first time racing overseas. While in NZ want to hit some more of their long mountain races and maybe return to the marathon and run the time I think I'm capable of.

I bet.

@rhb sub 34.

A mile off 30 seconds sounds like absolute murder.

I'll be the other side of the world on NYD, planning to do the Christmas Day one if I make it out of bed. Was hoping to do Wendover today but got up too late.

They let me off this time!

Turned up to parkrun. About half a mile in, while leading I realised I had for the very first time ever forgotten my barcode.

I'm happy with the Fenix size wise I think. Main thing is more battery life for longer races, plus I wanted a Fenix when I bought my 235 anyway!

@jdp having a very brief look around, £100 seems reasonable?

Would anyone be interested in a Forerunner 235? It's in good nick, couple of very small scuffs on the edge but it's had a screen protector on it the whole time. Think it's about a year old now, never had a problem.
Planning to get myself a Fenix 5 and torn between keeping the 235 as a spare or moving it on.

Love my Peg 35s, big fan.

I had 32s and 33s and I'd say they're a tad firmer but they feel fast.
