Just had a mare, was planning on doing 15+km but set off too fast, took on Blackheath Hill early on too fast and burned myself out. Did a PB 10k but my legs felt like lead.
Ant, Hypothetically if you were going to go for a run trying to visit as many football league stadia as possible, whereabouts do you reckon would be best to do it. East-northeast london was my first thought
Aye, that’s probably the highest concentration, no idea how long a run it would be but Manchester, Rochdale, Oldham, Wigan, Preston, Burnley, Blackburn etc there’s a fuckload around there innit
reckon there’d be a great charity venture in trying to visit 10 grounds in one run, could probably get a 20 second shout-out on five live and everything
that looks like it would be at least a 50 miler

Reckon Brentford - QPR - Fulham - Chelsea - Millwall - Charlton - West Ham - Leyton Orient - Spurs - Arsenal would be the best way to get 10.
36.5 miles according to google. Doable(ish)
Ooft! My geographical knowledge of the country is so bad!
It’s not like a Manchester United fan to be unfamiliar with the area!!!
For full disclosure, I thought it would be more.
Oh, it is a lot more. Man City - Man U - Wigan - Bolton - Blackburn - Accrington Stanley - Burnley - Rochdale - Oldham - Bury is 88 miles according to google
It’s possible there is a shorter ten than that of course.
Yes, there is. Starting with Rochdale and ending with Burnley is only 80 miles.
Anyone else doing the Vitality half in Brighton this Sunday?
Did 18k earlier and at literally 17.9k my right knee started to seize up a bit, it really hurts now as well. I think it’s probably from impact from the three really steep downhill sections on the route I took, hope it’s nothing more serious than that
Anyone got spotify playlists to share for running? I have one but get bored of it occasionally despite having 7 hrs of music in it https://open.spotify.com/user/gregmcgowan/playlist/6UfBtjP5rS4HrTNFTganXC
I have a running rap one, an LCD Soundsystem one and then one made up of 65daysofstatic and Fuck Buttons.
i have one that gets changed on a daily basis, mix of styles and eras (some vaguely embarrassing stuff, feel free to mock) https://open.spotify.com/user/nickolai3001/playlist/3n3zsaurnDB4y9HIjlx5Ek
One tick on the 2017 mission list - sub-20 mins parkrun yesterday.
Excellent work!
Absolute agony going down stairs now, think I’ve done some damage to it somehow. Any experience of this sort of thing?
Just saw your time on Strava. Great work!
I liked that two DiSers ran half marathons yesterday at the same time at different ends of the country and finished within a minute of each other.
