Shades 3:18pm 3:18pm, 10 Apr 2026 12,515 posts	Shades My 305 HRM strap is nearly 20 years old and still working perfectly. I have a spare one for when it stops working. I expect you can get another strap on ebay? For NHS Covid jabs in England, those entitled to them can book on NHS app from now. Can you book on your NHS app?

Ian5 4:37pm 4:37pm, 10 Apr 2026 1,222 posts	Ian5 I decided to get the train across to Boston,it is an awkward drive from here and will take 4hrs ish with a good drive and 1 stop,so went for the train which is 5 but means I can relax and not stress about traffic.Also the price of diesel makes it actually cheaper to get the train now.
Shades 5:08pm 5:08pm, 10 Apr 2026 12,519 posts	Shades Ian - it's not the easiest place to get to. I think it used to take me up to 8 hours to get there. I saw derv at our Esso this morning 1.93 😲
Ian5 5:33pm 5:33pm, 10 Apr 2026 1,223 posts	Ian5 Managed to put some in for £1.84 today,a shell has it at £1.99 😢 Forgot to say I got some new shoes last week,Puma magnify,lots of cushioning and a 10mm drop,start fitness had 20% on the app so I bought 2 pairs for £56 each.
Shades 5:53pm 5:53pm, 10 Apr 2026 12,521 posts	Shades I'm not doing much driving at the moment so not using much petrol. I won't be fit enough to do Halstead which is a long drive. I wasn't bothered about the cost of petrol but gutted to miss this marathon as one of my favourite races. I have a pair of Puma Velocity Nitro and really like them. I find Puma shoes come up a bit big so go down a half a size for a better fit.

About This Thread

Maintained by Shades

Back in December 2005 I started a thread on Runner's World offering a marathon training plan on 3 runs a week. I had my own running club at the time (Womens Running Network) and I had successfully trialled the training plan when I took a group of girls to Dublin to run their first marathon. Over the years the thread has evolved into a chat thread, with a bit of training advice, race reports, for predominantly marathon runners.
