Thanks mate. I didn't realise the forerunner 55 doesn't have a tap to pay option. Think I'm gonna purchase the EPIX. Probably got more features than I need, but it looks far superior for the extra money to the Forerunner 55.

Cheers.

I've got the Forerunner 965 which has more features than I could ever want (even for a data junkie like me) and cheaper than the Epix. There are probably cheaper versions of the Forerunner that do contactless payments as well. The Vivoactive and Instinct do, I think. Decide what you need from the watch and then do a search for those features on Garmin's website.

I'm looking forward to burning my red shite in 5 weeks when I'll be entitled to some stylish black merch!

I know Parkrun is good for getting people into running, but for me the joy about running is that I don't need to join a club or be somewhere at a certain time to go for a run, I just "feel" like a run, put my trainers on and go. I joined Sale Harriers for about two weeks a few years ago and after 2 weeks I thought, nope I don't like getting tied down to a certain time and place and knocked it on the head. Its not like I run to be an Olympian, I run as I really enjoy it

That's the thing with this running malarkey mate, everyone gets different things from it.
I started out with parkrun, blowing out of my arse at the back, nowadays I just go mostly for the social aspect, but many do take it seriously, more so it seems the middle of the pack runners, I did one at the weekend and only went for a slow jog, I got elbowed in the face and barged of the path twice!! Surprised me how into it they were.
I hear you with the running club, whilst I wouldn't mind joining one, again for the social aspect, I do most of my runs early morning before work and enjoy it so until there's a 5am club I'm out
