I think Netflix already made the series. It was called āLOSERSā
@caulifloweredneanderthal put me down for relegation itās turns out Iāve only one speed, slow. Iād say you could relegate me two tiers while you are at it.
I was doing about 27-27.30 last month without killing myself and thought Iād a bit in the tank to get closer to 26. But when I turned on the GPS to give the forum a fully validated time it turned out my 5k route which was bang on 5k according to previous efforts is actually only 4.7k or so and seems to be consistently so. That extra 300m has eaten up any gains I felt I had in the tank. Iām best time 28ā 10 for the month.
I tried going faster there and just blew up and limped home around the 30 minute mark

Thatās a real kick in the teeth for the forum heading into the weekend. We had a glut of good news stories and lads giving it big licks yesterday before Mick Martinās interview with the mirrorā¦ We were indifferent to the leaking of potentially extending restrictions for another 9 weeks but youāve gone and thrown us into a spiral here.
Weāll need a @TreatyStones special to right the ship.

You still have 9 days to meet your new target: 26ā30. This splits the difference between Premier Intermediate and Intermediate.

Go out to Cratloe. Walk up a hill and run down out. Job is oxo.

Iād have to pause it and walk back up again though. Be easier go for a cycle

He had the Mrs put all the kids into the mini-van then to go collect him. She was probably driving alongside him, firing out the electrolytes

28.8kmph, positively pushing him along apace.
its natural geographical juicing. its not coincidence that locke and lance both start with an L and finish with an E 
I went to try and run a decent time today in driving wind and rain - Iām either thick or just mental. It was like a day on a bike where regardless of what turn you make the wind is in your face. Except the wind today is about 40km/hr.
4:45min/km average gets me some redemption from my abject performance earlier in the week. A tempo run (once I figure out what that is), a long slow run, and a speed session between now and next Friday and Iāll try and smash the 23 mins over the weekend to avoid relegation.

Once you feel the tape break on your chest itās like a drug @Thomas_Brady
Ironically using actual drugs increases your chances of it.
