Re: The Running Thread
Thread still going? Hoping to do a half marathon before the end of the year, any tips or advice? Took up running last year and really gave it a whirl this year in addition to cycling. I try to run about 5 or 10k per week, in addition to cycling. Last few weeks I've gotten a few 10ks under my belt, k...

Nice atmosphere in town. A lot of outdoor dining in the Dame Court and South William areas. Nice to see DCC actively trying to facilitate this, although I reckon 15 isn't enough for a lot of places to bother. People also tend to freak out when road space and parking gets taken away.

Absolutely incredible for Pogacar! Was not expecting that. And to think of the relative riches of JV and UAE. Chap did it a lot himself.
Great to see the youth winning the last 2 TdFs.
Hope to see Bennett win tomorrow too.

I fell ill with an unexplained fever and slight cough in early January.
