  1. Criminal The Fall Both British.. Both crime.. Both excellent.. Both on Netflix
  2. Ha ha.. That's north cork for you!
  3. I haven't watched it yet.. But apparently very good... It's been on my list since it came out
  4. 5 episodes at 45 min each
  5. this aged well.....
  6. I am a Michael Connely fan and someone pointed out to me there is a Series About Harry Bosch called Bosch - so started watching it and I am actually really enjoying it - it has been done quite well
  7. everyone is losing their #$% over Gillian as Maggie I stopped on Season 2 - gonna start watching again
  8. That chap in the display window needs to get out in the sun a bit
  9. Vikings is on Amazon prime.. Probably the easiest way to watch the series
  10. Context https://www.vogue.com/article/phoebe-bridgers-maggie-rogerss-cover-of-iris/amp?__twitter_impression=true All proceeds going to fairfight https://youtu.be/tfWROYZkz5A
  11. I'm gonna pull a board out again. I'm far too lazy to learn the openings.. But even from that video I learnt about controlling the centre and moving your king to the edges for protection.. Interesting
  12. When you have finished watching the queens gambit - watch this - very interesting
  13. The person has a point in relation to the article he's linking to though.. There was no need to say she was black. But anyway... I'm not going down that rabbit hole!
  14. Such a great show.. Best of 2020 for me
  15. Good Lord.. Is that how big your kid is now!
  16. Country music has so many sub genres you can spend an eternity in it. I love the genre.. But not this new country..i.e pickups girls and beers Old country and alt country Townes van Zandt Emmylou harris Gram parsons Whiskey town and Ryan adams etc etc Enjoy the trip https://youtu.be/1PytxPaU6k4
  17. Started watching this is us season 5. Quite interesting.. There's covid, the George Floyd video had just been released... All very typical topical. Oh and..I know there's some who watch it on this thread.. Avoid spoilers.. Because there's a biggie in the first double episode!
  18. I switched from a chest strap to the polar optic arm strap. My chest strap used to read about 7 or 8 bpm higher than the optic arm strap and it used to really battle to get a consistent reading early on in the run in the winter months. I've really been impressed with the stability and consistency of the optic arm strap
  19. To be honest my club is very social. We generally just follow a generic plan. You do need to focus on easy warm up first though.. Especially in the cooler months. The more competitive clubs (the other 2 in our area) are very scientific in their approach so I think you would have a far different approach from them
  20. Cool video - except for the Ghastly pronunciation of his name
  21. Indeed... I'm fact.. If you're not used to speed work then it's better to do them the other way around 2mi intervals 1mi intervals 800m 400m 200m The shorter distances tend to cause injuries easier
  22. There is just not the market in SA. To be competitive you need to be taking big jumps and step terrain at age 10 already... Then be competing at nationals and then hopping across to other countries nationals. Europe is just they much easier to do that than SA
  23. Yes... Run a mile... As hard as you can But seriously.. I would be doing something like Mon easy run Tues speed work Wed increasing distance week on week to 10mi at tempo Thursday high tempo 8 to 10k Fri rest Sat easy Sun long slow increasing to about 25km Do that for 4 to 5 weeks Speed do 200m intervals 400m intervals Then 800m internals Then 2 mi intervals Then 1 mi intervals
  24. What about Sharjah Johnson... Greg's little prodigy? I'm a bit of of touch now but I saw he was racing in worlds. He can't be more than 20 now? Not saying he's gonna be GM level... But could be get a sponsor and compete at a competitive level?
  25. Why does it say 23 wins?
