Well done that’s a great time. i got a PB of 53mins today at the same, felt like I could’ve done faster but I went out too quick and couldn’t maintain.

I got this back in Sept, pretty pleased with it overall and does everything I need. Only downside is it looses signal with the music I find. it was better the last time I ran when I synced the playlist again but not 100%. Am actually finding listening to music a bit annoying the more I get into running!

Ed Sheeran ‘one shot’ has got to be one of the worst things Netflix have done

I’ve been looking at a Garmin Forerunner 165 music as a treat to myself, can anyone recommend this watch or suggest better running watch for similar price? Can’t be doing with taking phone on runs now.

First time trying out Vicky Park PR on Sat after abbey park was cancelled and wasn’t a fan, it’s a bit more of a mental battle doing lapped courses like that. Surprisingly hot too!

Used Hodges Glazing in Leicester for some window replacements and they did a good job, kept me informed and certification was quick.

Is there such a place that’s not too touristy nowadays? you could try Valencia as an alternative to somewhere like Barcelona.

Very good, well done. I did it in 53mins, and usually do 10k in about 55 so was pleased with that given the hills involved! Nice course as you say, defo do it again next year

Simon reeve’s Scandinavia, great show and presenter, can watch his shows again and again.

I usually run at abbey park but first time at Beacon Hill PR today, just to see how I would cope with the hills. That is some course and pretty happy with my time. Nice setup up with the cafe at the finish line too

balls, it was advertised as flat on one of these local running websites. Ahh well, it’ll be fun!

I’ve signed up to the Rothley 10k as my second 10k so looking forward to that. Anyone done it before and how flat is it? All the entry money goes to Loros so seemed like a no brainer to do.

Some good deals if you can book in advance, and emirates holidays will have deals on half board or full boards/ kids eat free in some hotels, although don’t often have sales Last time I went ended up staying outside Dubai nr the theme parks with family, so literally nothing around it but taxi or metro into the city was easy. Going again to same place later in the year.

Plenty of multi centre holiday choices in Asia, I would recommend any combination of Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Singapore, Bintan, Bangkok, Bali. Singapore is a good base to go onto places in the region but is a great destination in its own right.

Has anyone had any success appealing a primary school offer? We didn’t get into the school within walking distance cause it was ‘oversubscribed’. That said, got into a good school still.
