Thanks Tom - I saw that re privacy for just friends but it also says it may mean you are excluded from certain events/challenges etc! Think I am still going to go for it though. Great running! I have been slowly upping mine without thinking about it too much, but now I have realised it is...

Started watching The 100 with my partner. Three seasons in and still enjoying it. I wasn't sure at first as it starts a little too cheesy and americanised but storylines progress and become more complex (even sci-fiy in places) and intriguing. Obviously nowhere near the levels of depth and/or...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I went for a Garmin Venu in the end, it was between that and another Apple Watch, but we found a great deal for the Venu so thought I would give it a try. It arrived today - not as intuitive as the Apple Watch, but going for a short run tomorrow which will be the...

I have been managing to up my running over the last few weeks, and ran 25 miles last week and 28 the one before. I ran a half marathon on Sunday morning too, in a time of 1:52 which I was happy enough with. I don't class myself as a proper runner and at the minute it is about the distances and...

I am on the hunt for a new Smart Watch. I did have an Apple Watch which randomly died before Christmas, and I have been using my old FitBit Charge 2 since, however that has now also decided to die. Neither can be fixed - I have tried myself and taken them to various shops who confirm the same...

As can I, but I’m hoping that isn’t the deciding factor for the EFL.

It’s a ridiculous idea, and even with an objective hat on does not seem the fair or right thing to do. Especially for a team who have lost three games all season and are ahead with a game on hand. The EFL have always been weak and incompetent, if this comes to fruition it’s another example of...

I recently had the same dilemma and I opted for a Mac. I definitely don’t regret the decision. As others have said it takes a while getting used to it (made worse by the fact I’m on a Windows laptop all day for work), but once you are it makes sense. We also have iPhones, TV and iPads in the...

I did a nice canal side run this morning, however I slightly miscalculated the distance/pace, so I made it back for my first conference call of the day at 8am with literally a minute to spare. Thank God it wasn’t a video call! I find one of the main things that keeps me motivated is finding new...

Thanks for the advice - I appreciate it. I am trying to build up gradually, and I have a good level of residual fitness from playing sport forever. I also ran the marathon last year. However the marathon is part of the issue really; I didn’t follow any set training plan or really take it...

How are you balancing recovery time and managing such high mileage? I’m trying to get one longer run in each week, but still want to do 3/4 a week (including the long one). For example, I ran 12 miles on Saturday but then didn’t run again until yesterday (10k) as my legs were still feeling...

I always remember trying that after an especially heavy night. I’d told my girlfriend at the time I was home at a reasonable hour and hadn’t had too much, which wasn’t quite true. So I had the brain wave to go for a run the next morning to get it out of my system; pretty sure I nearly died...

Thanks for asking, it was good although I got a bit overexcited mid run, which I soon regretted! The run I planned was predominantly along a canal towpath and I planned to leave the towpath and weave back home at a certain point but I was feeling good (this was at around 7.5miles) so I decided...

Nope; some definite dodgy characters in that. And people like Jeff and Doc seem incredibly seedy and misogynistic, it’s horrible to watch people actually falling for that sort of shite. Apparently they’re filming a one episode follow up and Trump is considering pardoning Joe Exotic.

We watch this as my partner loves it; I find it a bit hit and miss. The Dad is by far the best character though! It may have been covered on another thread, but after all the hype we thought we’d give Tiger King a go. What an absolutely bizarre world! Couldn’t stop watching though....

I’ve been averaging three 10k’s a week, with a few shorter “quick” runs if I can. I’ve only ran twice this week as I’ve been saving myself for a long run, which I’m going to attempt in the next half hour. One thing I should really do is think about preparing a bit more. Once of my friends...

Two things that haven’t been mentioned that are worth a watch: Ray Donovan Banshee Another that I haven’t watched in years and was never really big here, but I remember really enjoying it is Rescue Me.

My partner randomly started watching Spooks, series one, episode one last night while I was messing about on the laptop. It’s very dated now, but I enjoyed it when it was on originally and I found myself getting engrossed last night!

Always been tempted by Black Sails - might give it a go. Is it similar to anything else?

Really sorry to hear that. But the fact you got through that and have a family and business is incredible and you should draw a lot of strength from that. Stay strong and focus on the positives.
