    Cross Country (XC) started for me yesterday with the first of 5 fixtures (generally 1st Sunday of the month) in the Oxfordshire League. I'm relatively rubbish at it compared to the road/track, but really enjoy it. Was first time this venue was used, and they had to re-arrange the car parking the...

    [NSC] Become an NSC Supporter. If you want. It's entirely optional. No-one has to.

    Is that something you could automate? I'd be fine taking the Amazon URL, putting it into NSC and pressing a button to get the affiliated link immediatelly. But to have a manual process when you don't know how long it'd take for someone to respond, I'm not sure I'd be patient enough...

    I’ve got the 255 and really like it. I think it was the first/cheapest one to have multi band GPS which really improves the accuracy.

    I’ve managed to do it twice, once at each of my closest events. Got lucky with combining decent performances (for me) on the rare occasions when the quick folks gave it a miss. I don’t think I’ve ever come second (stop sniggering at the back), but had a couple of 3rds.

    I did 18:15 (75.89%) back in March. I looked for the table after that!

    Forgot to mention that I heard from another forum that one of @Bozza 's favourite sites, Keller Sports, has gone into administration. I'd signed up to premium membership and picked up a couple of bargains, a shame to see them go.

    Excellent run @Blue&WhiteSea , that must put you right up there on the PB table. Speaking of which it seems March/April seems to be when I peak as last year set a parkrun PB of 18:21 and yesterday I shaved a few more seconds off for 18:15 & 75.89%, it also got me first finsher at my local...

    Lurgy here too. Had our running club xmas do last Friday and it seems half the club have been ill since then. My wife had it at the beginnig of the week, then my youngest and now me. Annoyingly it's scuppered my plan to visit Worthing parkrun for the first time this weekend, when we're down...

    [TV] The Traitors - BBC

    I've been watching and enjoying it, but for me last night, with the murder in plain sight was really the only time they've kind of forced the traitors to do something that might be picked up upon. Other than a traitor making a huge slip up or breaking down anf confessing, at the moment there has...

    Nike site now has a voucher for 25% off items already in the sale (it’s mentioned on the homepage). Some Vaporfly & Alphafly already have 40% off. Just picked up some Vaporfly for £101 with 10% topcashback to come on top of that (I’ve heard Quidco are offering more, but I don’t use them).

    My neighbour, M70, is hoping to qualify so asking on his behalf. Does this relate to your finishing position in a qualifying race? So the key is starting as close to the start line as possible so that you might finish before someone who might have a quicker chip time but started later? I...

    Buzzing a bit as tonight I clocked 4:59.03 at an open 1 mile track race (first one I’ve done). Had a track training session last night with 300m + 200m reps and ran them all at my goal race pace (roughly 74s per 400m). Was a bit worried that although it’d felt quite easy and there was plenty of...

    Tomorrow I have the final vets track league meeting of the season with an 800m. Next week I have entered an open one mile race at Cheltenham. I'll be aiming to beat our club V40 track record which is a rather soft 6:13 (the road record for V40 is 04:58). A long term goal will be sub-5 but I...

    What you're describing I would call a running club, whereas I'd say an athletics club is based at a track, although both come under England Athletics. The track based clubs are likely to have lots of stuff for kids, but I guess track & field based, rather than road running (or indeed trail or...

    I'm pretty certain the Age Grading % is based upon their actual age, just looking a quick look at the results I see 2 girls in the JW10 category but the one with the slower time has a higher %, which would support this. So I think that might help? That being said, not sure that means much at...

    I'd read someone else say they'd set PBs in the Tempo Next% that they couldn't break with Vapor or Alphaflys. I'm just looking for a soft comfy every day shoe. Interesting to hear you like the Zoom Fly 4s so much, as the 3s were one Nike shoe I was really disappointed with. I found them quite...

    I'm not sure I've ever really fallen over. However, I run a lot less than you, and when I do it's generally on firmer surfaces I think (running track or road). I've gone over on my ankle once, which was due to running at night, not really paying attention, and treading awkwardly on a curb...

    Feel like I'm a shoe salesman on here... I've not used them before, they seem a bit marmite, some love them and some well don't, but the Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT % are 50% off on the Nike site in some colourways (e.g. Black with red swoosh). So that makes the £90, and you can get an extra £7...
