And some need to calm down. Apologies for using this forum as a means of expressing thought, apparently that's also a passtime which should be postponed for a while.

Nobody knows anything, but everyone is acting like they do. Everyone talks as if they know what's happening and what to do about it. No. Accept that nobody does - I certainly don't. Opinions on how to handle this situation differ wildly, obviously that extends to science and governments too. It...

Nice Work have had to postpone all of their events as well, which was largely inevitable. I think the only positive justification for this reaction is that if the virus can be halted now, we might get football and all sports back sometime in April. What I don't understand is why that isn't the...

:lolol: Absolutely savage. I regret making some small amendments to your latest Facebook profile picture to make you even more cool, suave and dangerous! I want to a stag do up in York a couple of years ago and dragged my incredibly hungover self to their parkrun course at the racecourse...

Does anyone on here believe that parkrun will NOT be postponed indefinitely?

Cheers Artie - I'm coming for you! But so is Blue&WhiteSea and given he's got history, he may be the bigger threat! Without any doubt at all, the increased volume over a consistent period of time has been the reason for the massive uptick in performances over all distances. I've not done a...

Enjoy the rest, and I look forward to your next comeback. :thumbsup: Hopefully you're wrong about parkrun - but it could happen. :down: Some extremely serious pace in that parkrun. :ohmy: No surprise you're up there and competing with the finest, Gaffer! :thumbsup:

No worries - I entered because of a targeted advert on Facebook! It's a really good race - a nice free long sleeved shirt as a bonus and the food options at the end were decent. Plenty of water stations helped! I don't think the course is especially quick, given the few climbs in the first 13...

So - saturday was a new 5k PB for me - 17:37 (37.79% AG) on the Prom which was enough for 2nd place. Gutted I was there rather than Hove Park, my time would comfortably have had me in 1st place. My time there will come! It wasn't a particularly wise decision to try and maintain the pace, but I...

Do it, enjoy your life and live every day. You live every day. :thumbsup: I might be in the minority, but I have no problem believing the Brighton marathon will go ahead, despite the sad news about London.

I imagine that I will do over the summer months - but I quite like the idea of named events as being particularly memorable and significant. I enjoy long distance running but I don't have your endurance in terms of running multiple laps of the same route. parkrun is about my limit for running...

I appreciate life goes on and there will be plenty of races to come, etc. Obviously, it's trivial. But it's not unreasonable to want to enjoy your life and the things you enjoy doing, right?! I've never been in any doubt that people have died, which is sad in all cases. All lives come to an...

If the marathon is cancelled before sunday's 20 mile race in Oundle (which is going ahead unless the government advice changes, apparently!) - I'll race it and see what speed I've got over 20 miles. It's not the marathon I'm targeting, but in the last day, really since my last post about the...

Good lord, man! Why?

That HAS to be naughtier than what I wrote before! :lolol:

... so can we PLEASE get back to moaning about the wind?! I can honestly say running back toward the Pier from Rottingdean is the least favourite running stretch I've ever attempted and I include the Worthing Half that year we ran into a wall of wind. That this afternoon was truly horrible...

Yes. Just because they're speaking loudly and making everyone panic, doesn't mean their coverage is right. How much is all the reaction a self fulfilling prophecy? We'll never know for certain, obviously, but I do wonder how much their coverage is the cause of the hysterical panic buying, etc. I...

On the contrary, I don't see a justification for cancelling it. I know Bozza is a hyperconservative when it comes to Covid-19, but I don't think it's guaranteed to be cancelled. Maybe it'll be postponed to October, like everything else, because October is a magical month where no disease can...

Are you into podcasts? If so - https://twitter.com/Scienceofsport/status/1233273374228598784 give this is a listen, big nuts and I spoke about it at length on the drive to Lydd and NSC's #1 runner posted it - so it's worth listening to for sure. It'll give you a wholly new outlook on activities...

Do they have one? How much of their chat is about running barefoot to save on the expense of running shoes? Or do they prefer to run in clown shoes? :wink: It is quite nice varying the pace a bit, no? Not running at a clip which is tough to maintain or that really stretches you. Especially in...
