    I'll buy that. My (3xweekly) 10k starts uphill, and Eminem's "Lose Yourself" is the tune that gets me started at the right pace. When it ends the hill is done and the pace is right.

    Great run! Maybe someone can tell me why runners can't wear headphones when racing? I thought it was to prevent pacing info being given, but it appears that Kipchoge had pacers and a laser light from a car (according to Sky) giving him the pace.

    Just like those damn CO2 cartridges that go off unexpectedly leaving you to pump by hand, or else freeze themselves into your fingers (usually both, in my case).
  4. Lotus
    Still cheaper than Campag.

    Problem is you might end up flying on an Antonov at some point, and they've got this annoying habit of falling out of the sky. Yesterday was another case in point.

    Really sad to hear about the B17 crash in Connecticut this week. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/03/nyregion/bradley-airport-plane-crash-victims.html

    Really appropriate for this "new thread".

    Some butt-clenching moments there! Bet those boat operators were surprised.

    I heard it said once that "German joke is no laughing matter!".

    Just spotted this bad boy flying over Fourways. Quite a bit louder than the usual crowd over here.

    Well done! Did you notice weight loss after the run?

    Some weekend viewing planned

    5km seemed "ultra" six months ago before I started running with the C25K program. And during C25K the 10km seemed long. Now Sundays are 25km and nothing seems out of reach, except those 100milers. Respect!

    Not sure if this has been covered, but a good laugh on Runner's World today. Remember, you only have to run faster than your mates.

    As MP said (and the video insert of the crash also showed), he felt like Draco was like a kite taken by the wind.
  16. Lotus
    I suspect Scrappy will be an entirely different animal with no shared DNA
  17. Lotus
    So relieved he's okay. Do you think Draco can be repaired? Mike's skills and resources are legendary - maybe there's a Draco rebuild coming up?

    Speaking of tough breaks, yesterday I picked up a groin strain(at least I think that's what it is) halfway through my weekly 10k TT. Damn it! Came out of nowhere, and pulled me up inside of 10m. And that was it. Had to walk out. Tried some Voltaren and Arnica, then went out again this morning for the 25k. No way, less than 1k and I knew it wasn't going to work. Headed for home (walking). Long list of expletives. So now I guess it's a bit of rest and some stretches and strengthening exercises, and hopefully later this week I can resume running. Anyone else with experience of rehab?
  19. Lotus
    That's a tough break Ronnie! Better luck next run.

    Also in the video - check out the air-boats. It's real redneck stuff, but I cannot believe that a prop-driven vehicle can get that kind of acceleration.
  21. Lotus
    Hopefully get his license pulled. The potential for catastrophe is off the charts.

    Just watching Sky F1 coverage of the Ferrari greats back at Monza with their old cars. Lovely seeing Jody out there with the Ferrari T4 that won the championship 40 years ago at Monza. And Seb in the older spec Ferrari again.
  23. Lotus
    And stupid. I hope the governing body responds quickly and works out a penalty for drafting in qualifying. It's such a BS tactic. And it's copying NASCAR and Indy, and just when you think F1 couldn't get more boring. Can you picture Senna and Prost doing this at McLaren back in the day, agreeing to pull each other around the track? No way! You got on on Senna's six and you'll have received the worst brake test of your career!
  24. Lotus
    And the same for Williams.

    For the Mike Patey fans, the latest episode of his new plane build is up. Check it out, the guy's skills (and equipment) are unreal.
