What you getting Alphaflys for??
just so intrigued - I've been running in the vaporflys and its so different its like running on clouds, really want to give them a go but the price is a bit ridiculous so I might sack it off and get more vaporflys for race day (although also a ridiculous price..), also didn't realise how little decent reactive miles you get out of them, ive done about 330km in them and theyre already pretty beat

don't worry it will all work out - you will be pissing into a bottle on the farm come june!

the likelyhood is that you are already ... although there might be some material between you and the next tent
sometimes I carry on for a few days after I get home, keeps the magic alive a bit longer

Essentially though, there is nothing any of us can do but wait and see. It's impossible to predict either way so far ahead. I'm optimistic that Glastonbury will not be affected at all.
I think with the weather too far out to predict we all just need something to worry about in the meantime

You should get one of these instead of a lenor bottle!
I bought one a few years ago, and its brilliant!!
I quite like the look of this one and how needlessly technical it looks for something you piss into in the middle of the night

Nope. They are now retired. Outrun them and I haven't replaced them. I buy goretex in the sales in spring/Sumner and my summer shoes in winter. Cos I'm a tight git. It's too early to buy at the moment. But I have 2 pairs of summer shoes. One pair on my feet , one pair steaming in front of the fire. It'll do.
It is very soggy down on't farm.
yeah that's a pretty solid plan, I've seen a few pairs of the Nike Pegasus 36 Goretex winter models going into the sale now, im waiting on the Nike Alphafly's to release on Saturday but I think retail is about the price of a glasto ticket so im going to have an anxiety attack whilst ordering them

Did 10K on the treadmill a few days ago in 50:45 which is a PB, can add 5 mins on for road running for that to me I would guess, but pretty pleased with it, just signed myself up for the Birmingham half in October, never done one before so feeling nervously excited, if I can do it in sub 2 hours I will be delighted.
Tips are absolutely welcome, done two 10K park events only previously
have a look through some training plans, runners world have quite a few - and just slowly build up the mileage, as well as leaving enough time to taper off - youll be fine and youll love it!

first proper flop of the training plan this weekend! made it out for a fast 8k Saturday morning, straight into rum tasting then a friends 30th bday party, culminating in watching the boxing at about 4am - needless to say I was not running yesterday! going to have to make up for it this eve at least a 10 miler, how did everyone else get on?

When did Biffy get SR? SURELY Other headliner?
Asked by Radio X's Gordon Smart if they'll be making an appearance at Worthy Farm, frontman Simon Neil smiled: "That would be telling!"
He added: "We'll be doing a couple of shows this summer. We're not sure exactly what yet, Gordon. It's kinda early days, but we're just getting our summer lined up.
"We're going to be touring later in the year for certain and we're just getting a few bits and bobs for the summer, so we can't say too much".
saw this earlier - stock response but maybe! I would probably go tbh depending on clash

It's not the weather I struggle with so much as the mud. All my running routes round home go off road to a greater or lesser degree, and I just can't be doing with slipping and sliding all the way through it. Don't mind a bit but after a while it just gets boring!
Good luck this weekend @grilladelphia 💪
Cheers Quark! I think I'd be disappointed if it wasn't a mental stormy one for every long run now

Our well is part of a conduit system through the village, water flows from higher than us, through pipes that run under next doors house to the well, out by pipes down to a series of sumps as it goes down the hill through the village. It shows the level of water about rather than the true level underground. If it rains a lot, level goes up and then slowly down again.
If there was really a layer of water 18 inches below the surface the house would either fall down or sink.

Having not done any Geography for many many years at what point does it start to really matter what the ground is looking like? 2 weeks before? 1 month?
I think its a point of contention if you scroll back through last years chatter on this thread

Maybe it’s because I’m ticketless, or that it’s still quite early, or that we’ve had a quite a lot of acts being confirmed or leaked or what have you, but my excitement for the big poster isn’t nearly where it’s usually at with it looming on the horizon. Feels like last years festival was only yesterday and that we should still have a long wait until any kind of big announcement is made.
I'm not really buzzing for the main poster - but certainly some of the smaller ones. I don't know my dua lipas from my foals so main drop doesn't really cut it for me usually..

Training for a marathon, you don't need to take anything with you on a run. No gels, no sports drink, no nothing. The key is to adapt to depleting your glycogen stores with your training, not supplement on the way. Just take water, unless it's so hot you could have electrolyte issues, but go for a zero cal drink if you do. The only time you should take gels on a long run is when you're seeing if your guts and taste buds can handle them and you only need to do that couple of times. It's different if you're going considerably beyond the marathon distance, or doing a long race. Key is to get a good recovery drink or meal in within 30 mins of finishing...
yeah only been using them on my long runs but ill definitely give my half marathon race at the weekend a go without gels and see how I get on

Impressed with making it out in this weather, must confess that I haven't. It's not so much the weather itself as I don't mind that, but all of my routes use off-road footpaths and in this weather there's so much slipping and sliding it's both massively annoying and a bit of a worry for ankles/knees/back.
On the plus side the rehab work for my shoulders seems to be working, albeit slowly. Definitely noticing a reduction in the pains and increased mobility. Might actually be able to lift properly again soon!
agree'd had to stick to paths myself and some of those were even under water! good to hear on the rehab!
