Joining a club will brings it to the next level, the camaraderie and support and the desire to push yourself with a bit of company on those hard shitty sessions, there’s only so far you will go on your own

Lads what’s the best way to quickly sort a blister at the base of your big toe?
Compeed?

Super glue
Compeed. As a prevention, use vaseline if prone to blisters.

I think @fenwaypark wins between the 3 of us given the distance and pace. I’m happy with my local legend status now and having ran more elevation than the local cycling club did on their 70km club spin today!

Thank you. Is Monday 5 x 5 mins or 5 x 5 miles? Presumably minutes…
PMP = Planned Marathon Pace?

Another brilliant session this morning @Bandage.
You are absolutely nailing Coach Fenway’s plan. Must have been a wet one this morning.

Thanks, pal. Very wet alright but it suited me to get the session done early. Now to finish writing some reports with ample caveats to avoid being held responsible for anything.
Have you got a decent rain jacket for running in?
Is a running gillet with a long sleeve base layer not a better option.
No, please recommend some.
I use a Salomon Bonatti but they’re expensive. But I need it for the wilds I go to.
I don’t think anything is fully waterproof so breathability is more important.

Beautiful jacket, light as a feather and completely waterproof
