Probably the best British producer right now:

Hope it's OK to post. A friend is doing a runners' survey (short ;) if anyone can have a go, it'd be much appreciated. https://forms.gle/X1KdN1jd8jr3gJhUA

Sorry, it’s difficult to understand from your messages what is not working. My guess is that you boot into the current Windows, then plug in a USB drive containing installation version of the Windows that you like to have and then try to install it from there? And Windows complains that you...

iPhone has setting “Screen Unknown Callers”, one of the options is “Ask Reason for Calling”. So it then doesn’t show the call but instead you can see the text of what they are saying/or later can listen to their message in voicemail. I find it very helpful to avoid nuisance calls.

I often run exactly the same route out 4k and back 4k, the watch picks up the 4k half point often over by quite a bit. It seems to be wrong more often if I run faster. That also correlates to my (limited) experience of running events, where the watch is always under. Very annoying when a 10k PB...

For me a little nugget was that an easy z2 run, shouldn’t be always the top of the z2 range (me every time 😂) and there is still all the benefit to get while running low z2 and even z1. Of course, no one wants to do it as it doesn’t feel like you have suffered 😂 However, the consensus is that...

Thought as a company based in Scotland they will release it here first 🤔

They just announced. Quite amazing to see their progress over the years. It’d be interesting to see what the price is and the reviews are.

They are not just for races (see my post above). 🙃 What did you get? Mine are Brooks Hyperion Max 3.

Looks like a well-cushioned shoe with one of the highest stacks but relatively low energy return and no rocker (according to the breakdown here: https://runrepeat.com/asics-gel-kayano-32). I would definitely suggest popping into a good shop to try sth with a plated design, doesn’t have to be...

A thigh compression sleeve was helpful for me. I’d try them over compression shorts as should deliver more support. Alternating shoes you run in also helps, if you have the luxury and they are different design(rocker/stack height etc).

Reolink for me, under £60 per camera, 7 years later still going fine.

To add a datapoint, the Inbody body composition device produces a report that projects your calorie burn for various activities and according to it golf is at the bottom of efficiency(cal/min) 🥲 Behind walking and Yoga! Squash/racketball are predictably at the top. Running, cycling and...
