@Loko_Cove

Is this the only positive thread in tfk history?

@count_of_monte_crist

every cunt has a watch or “wearable” these days, fuckers can barley strap the thing onto their engorged wrists, and go around like it is a badge of fitness…absolute bluffers

It’s akin to the “livestrong” phase of the 2000s, a crime which i was guilty of…

Eh

[count_of_monte_crist]

my apologies for my negativity.

[flattythehurdler]

I don’t mind that.

But a livestrong bracelet???
Gimp

[count_of_monte_crist]

the heady days of June 2004, Livestrong bracelets had only descended in the US and proudly wore one for about a month that summer…the sheen had gone off it by the time i returned home to the Sunny south east as a bronzed adonis, nonetheless i make no apologies.

Kindly retract your statement below and we can all move on in positivity

I bet your wandering round all week in black Farah slacks and a red polyester polo shirt

[count_of_monte_crist]

[flattythehurdler]

Some electronic money

[count_of_monte_crist]

i’ll take payment of any 1 of any coin you have.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

I always fucking hated stretching lads.

Hi Fulvio, get yourself a foam roller and do 10-15 minutes of rolling before (and potentially after) you run. It’s changed my life in ways I never thought possible

We go again.

An easy 3km in 18 minutes this evening where I started V2 by Robert Harris a work of fiction about the rocket attacks on London at the end of 1944.

I had a savage session with the physical therapist earlier. I’m back Wednesday… tremble with fear.

A tip for yourself (I know you’ve been out of it for a while) and the new runners

Invest in a few pairs of good running socks, they genuinely make a difference in the comfort of your feet,
I like to wear Stance or Steigen.

What you wear on your feet makes all the difference

I couldn’t agree more

[TheUlteriorMotive]

That’s good advice. Thanks. Will do. I wore compression socks for my Friday time trial.

This seems like a good Irish owned shop and 3.50 delivery. I ordered the flip belt here today.

[Thomas_Brady]

We’ll be broke from all the top end running paraphernalia.

[Biff_Egan]

This running lark seems to involve sizeable expense. I’ll have to get the mother-in-law to stop buying me Padraig Harrington golfwear and stock up on this stuff.

[Thomas_Brady]

Can we get a list of must haves so far…

Garmin
Compression leggings
Belt
Socks
Nike trainers

[backinatracksuit]

The Steigen are lovely, I have about 8 different pairs
Here’s a few

Stay away from Nike runners @Thomas_Brady and you’ve no need for compression leggings unless it’s for recovery
