Running thread

Well done mate. You've overtaken me. Parkrun 109 for me today at Keswick, in 31:19. A bit slower than I'd have liked, but the first half of it was uphill, and I'm still aching after 8km two nights ago along the same track. It's a beautiful course - my second time there.

My son did Harrow Parkrun this morning, and got bit by a snake. He's got a swollen ankle, and is having it checked out this morning.

Blimey. Hope your son is OK.
I wouldn't have expected snakes to be present in Harrow, apart from maybe some of the ex pupils of the nearby public school!
 
Parkrun 22:13 I think, minute slower than last week. Knew from the warmup that there wouldn't be another seasons best this week, really heavy legs. Did my first interval session on Wednesday in about 9 months and did it way too quick.

Positive is I was busting a gut to run that time 2 weeks ago.

Probably entering a 10k next Sunday, so probably a couple of weeks before another fast 5k attempt.
 
Sportshoes doing a Black Friday sale with some decent discounts on shoes, headlamps etc.

ASICS Metaride reduced from 224.99 to 79.99 not sure what they are like maybe @gaz76 can provide a review as he has more shoes than Timpsons.

But not as many key rings!!
I've never had a pair of the metarides, but I do know they are always on offer and get shite reviews, think they must have been a rare occasion where ASICS got it wrong.
I followed that sportshoes black Friday sale for that many years now that it just looks like they copy and paste last year's sale into this years

I did wonder if that might be the case, esp as a lot of the other shoes were like Scott, Puma Nitro which I had not heard of prior to the sale.

Might stick to a headlamp then and see what comes up on Boxing Day.

Yes mate all a loud of crap so far from them, that higher state stuff is their own brand I think and they always trying to give it away.
They do add more everyday until a week on Monday and some of the skins stuff they put on is a bargain but that's usually about it

The tight at £14.99. I did wonder what they were like as I’m trying to keep injury free and as I’m not the best at warming up they might help prevent a few injuries.

Yes I avoid the higher state stuff, as I always think if you want to get a few cheaper options, to pack out your wardrobe, you cannot beat Decathon. Although I’ve never tried the Higher State stuff.
