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...

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.
