Insurance must be the only industry that actively tries not to deliver the service that its customers pay them for.

I’ve decided to start getting up early on Sunday’s so I can get an early morning run in, and finding the runs a struggle. I’m doing 10k (my longest ever run is only 11km) but they feel a lot more difficult than they do when I run at mid-day or the afternoon.

This Sunday I was up at 5:30, had an overnight oats breakfast, waited about 45 to 50 minutes and headded out for 7am. My legs felt stiff and my upper thighs a bit sore - maybe I need to do more on my warm up than I normally would do?

I’ve been wanting to start pushing past the 10km barrier and work for more but I really struggled, nearly gave up after 7km but just kept going. I’m glad I did but disappointed that I couldn’t go further. Looking at Strava I’ve only done 9 runs that are 10km+ so maybe I’m being a bit hard on myself.

I did wonder if 10km was too short to have a gel, but I might consider it, at least for an early morning run. I haven’t tried having a gel yet so maybe I just need to experiment.

RVs are motorhomes that have an engine, gearbox etc. Caravan is something you tow behind another vehicle.

This post itself is mildly infuriating as I can’t tell what’s wrong in the picture!

I get my servants to hold one for me while I need it

I’ve lived outside cities all my life and never seen drive through bank.

Ran my first “early” (07:20 start) morning 10k on Sunday and it was hard work. I usually run at lunch time or in the afternoon and it just felt like my legs were made of stone, I was way off my usual pace.

Also not sure what to do about food at such an early time, especially when I want to start going longer than 10k. I obviously need something to eat but if I have too much then I’ll have to wait a couple of hours to feel comfortable. I just had a single slice of jam on toast and it was probably enough until about 8 or 9k where I really started to flag. What do people do?

They should have thought about this before the summer break.

and they lost the win yesterday on strategy not performance.

I think that’s what they mean. They have the best car but they keep making blunders everywhere else. Lando’s made mistakes but so have the team.

I think they’ve been caught with their pants down operationally, they’re just not used to winning and being in this situation.

Isn’t it absolutely clear going into the race?

I take it McLaren haven’t talked about driver priorities then.

A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It’s especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there’s no other way to pay.

He reminds me a lot of Michael Gove

Everyone: we hate it, turn it off.

Admins: ok, we heard you, we’re going to keep it on.

Not blasting you OP, but I never really see the point in these kind of articles. What else are drivers going to say? “I’m terrified of sainz and I might actually retire instead”

That’s all race suits

Ah right yeah that makes sense

People get pissed at airports because they’re on holiday mode with their mates, it’s part of the holiday to have some beers at the airport. It’s these kind of passengers that will be the issue, it’s nothing to do with the design of the airport.

The very sudden and very quick pain I had in my back this morning. It was so bad I very nearly passed out.
