"The MIPIM property show has been postponed due to concerns over coronavirus. - Property show postponed from March to June"
so maybe they think this will all have blown over by June?

I am surprised that no one put Tyler The Creator in this battle. He has a gap and in Europe in summer, fits in size as he is headlining festivals (in Primavera is headlining as Lana - Lana is subbing also). I don't know, it just came to my mind without Dua Lipa and Capaldi now.
He could put a good show before Taylor I think.
Tyler into Taylor would be interesting!

@Greenelk wow that is real bad luck man sorry to hear that!
one of my training pals for Brighton got attacked by a dog on his run yday and got a couple of nasty puncture wounds in his thigh! the other has broken his ankle recently - might end up just me on the starting line!

Apparently London Marathon may be cancelled due to the Coronavirus.
The fact I'm half hoping my marathon follows suit sums up my current feeling towards training 😅
could be like the Tokyo marathon where they only let about 150 of the elites race and cancelled everyone else

I've got 8 weeks to go but my furthest is only 16 miles which was the cause of my injury!
I'm feeling a bit better so will gradually increase the mileage again, I'm still hoping I'll be able to do the marathon but I'd just like it to be as painless as possible and not do myself any damage.
Are you doing any strength training with it?
yeah definitely worth taking it slow, ive felt on the edge of injury a few times but just about managed to get away with it - and not as much as I should! just a few random sets at home once a week, actually thinking about stepping this up for the second half of the training plan

oh man. On the one hand that would be amazing. On the other, I'm already having a panic attack about how dangerously crowded that would be
this was also my thought - but also came to the conclusion they're booked elsewhere, im still holding out hope otherwise im going to have to go further afield to see them as I cant make reading/leeds

this is what I'd heard that they were trying to get ratm for a secret set on truth stage - a man can dream!!

20 miles! Jesus!
When's your marathon? My training has gone awry and I'm starting to get nervous.
I know only the second time I've done 20 miles and last time it absolutely slaughtered me! Got about 7 weeks until race day now, I think as long as I get all my long runs in ill be alright on there day. im sure youll bounce back - how far into your training are you?

Yes we do. Myself and others organise a Festival run ( 5km and 10km) in October. We held it in 2019 (http://www.piltonvillage.co.uk/festival-run.html ) . However Michael has requested we hold it every other year. We’re very lucky he actually lets us do this at all. Some events got told they couldn’t run ever again! So we will see everyone on Worthy in 2021.
ah amazing ill have to make sure I get involved with that!

would love a run around the site but definitely not over the festival weekend, don't they do a 10k race around there at some point out of festival time?
smashed out a little 8 miler steady last night at 4:45 per km and got a fartlek session this eve which im not really looking forward to! - rest day Friday, park run Saturday and 20 miler on sunday!

You learn something new every day. I was wondering at what point the 2001 event was cancelled (January) because of foot and mouth and this article suggested that it was actually to do with security and controlling numbers, particularly those without tickets. Didn't realise that.
That article brought me to a brilliant photo:

starting to get a bit close to home!
US oil company Chevron has said it is closing its London office in Canary Wharf over coronavirus fears and has asked staff to work from home for the time being.
Some 300 traders and staff have been sent home, according to reports, after two people returned from holidays in affected areas and displayed symptoms.
A spokeswoman for Chevron told (rag newspaper)We] continue to monitor the situation very closely, utilizing the guidance of international and local health authorities.
"Our primary concern is the health and safety of our employees and we are taking precautionary measures to reduce their risk of exposure.
"Consequently we have requested that our colleagues, based at our Westferry Circus office in London, work from home for the time being."

just seen this on bbc - hopefully they don't see this thread!
Iran arrests 24 for 'spreading rumours'
Iranian police have arrested 24 people accused of spreading rumours about the coronavirus online, AFP news agency reports.
A further 118 internet users were "talked to and let go" with warnings, the head of Iran's cyberpolice force Vahid Majid said.
A special unit has been created to combat "rumour-mongers" about the spread of coronavirus, Mr Majid said.

thanks both @Homer @grilladelphia looking forward to taking two firm step back on the progress on the farm, come the last week in June. You both going?
yeah all sorted in the main sale thankfully - I did my first half marathon about a month before glasto last year and the extra leg strength was a godsend on the farm!

To my surprise I got a refund as it was within 5 working days, minus admin fee... now eyeing up the half at Ros Go Run 2020 on 06/09 in co. Roscommon... I can only ever get to about 14/15km max in training, i'm just hoping if I have a few months on that and get upto about 18km, momentum on the day will see me through... I know I sound like the Tyson Fury story here 😄but it'll give me such a huge sense of achievement
yeah the furthest I got before my first half last year was 18km, the last 3km on the day will be a breeze!

I like to think they keep an eye on us ... but dont think we are part of that festival planning process ... I wonder when these things get set in Stone and written onto the Eavis fridge planner
I do like the idea of them keeping tabs on this thread to see how ravenous everyone is getting - and seeing who will be the correct guesser!

I've not been there yet, giving my Nike contacts a nudge to see if I can bagsie a pair...
really worth giving them a go, but the price is nuts without discount I think I found a 20% off code for mine which helped they were about £191

The Alphaflys have 100mile on the clock. I'd say I'd only ever consider them for a race where you've executed a four month training plan to perfection and the race is of supreme importance. Get some Pegasus turbos otherwise I'd say?
yeah its a good shout - about £100 cheaper as well.. going to keep an eye on the sales as well and see whats what, would love the vaporflys to come down to under £200 as they're just an absolute pleasure to run in
