Hows your training coming along Fudbeer? York will be my first marathon too. My long runs were going great (upto 12-13 miles) until around 5-6 weeks ago when I got a niggling achilles that turned into 2 weeks with no training at all. Still easing back in but I've completely fallen off the mileage wagon and can only manage 7-8 miles at most now. Trying to build back up, but I think it's going to be a case of jeffing just to get to the finish line in whatever time it may take.

Nobody mentioned Darnall?

We bought an Ikea kitchen a few months ago. Used their fitters too. Can't fault any part of it. From ordering to the after care - spot on. It's early days but the build quality seems a lot better than I expected too.

Isn't Portrush on the beach? Can't imagine running on the beach. I'm hoping to take in the Carrickfergus and Westport parkruns later this month when over there

A good news story (I hope) for the new defribs. Any idea which local Park runs already have them apart from Clumber and Doncaster?

Does anyone know anything about the Resolution Run at Rother Valley in January. Very sketchy details on their website. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about the 12k route that goes on the rougher terrain paths around the park.

I've just started riding a few months ago and hope to do my full test by Spring. I'm on a Yamaha YBR125, which feels fast for me as a newby But I do struggle on fast roads, esp those with hills. I've been doing a lot of riding around Peaks, finding nice back roads where I can tootle around without cars stuck to me exhaust pipe. As I live out Rother Valley way, I've also found a lot of nice roads around Clowne, Worksop, Chuckney etc. Some nice villages out that way too.

Has there been anything further said on this? I heard another rumour that a jdw was opening in the new development near Drakehouse.

I think they are planning a new 10K here organised by same people that do the HM. Hopefully a better route including some city centre.

Thanks for this. I agree. The old one was much better. I tried the new one a few days ago and it didn't even give me the correct information.

I know Rover Valley is one. There is a model in the visitor centre showing how they flood the area to release pressure downstream. Not sure about the River Don though.

Get well soon twirlers.

Is anyone doing the Sheffield City 10K on October 4th at Rother Valley?

Someone told me that the 10k/5k at RVCP on Sunday weren't timed events? Does anyone know if that is correct? I cant find anything on them apart from that site. I don't know anybody who has entered.

Trams not running between cathedral and station this morning. Not sure what's happened but our tram terminating at station due to an incident.

Just came back on. We have far too many round here.

Power went off in s20 about 90 mins ago. According to power company it's out in s20 and s26. That's quite a big area.

Agreed I just got quoted £40 for cheapest ticket from Scarborough to Sheffield single on a Saturday night.

What exactly is meant by the term Super Junction? Does that just not mean big and complex? Like it already is?

Be careful though. The post office websites list a few to be open until 10pm, but when you get there they are actually closed. I needed something urgent the other week and went to 3 of the "late" ones in the co-ops. It seems they only offer postal services if its something easy in the evenings.

I know exactly what you mean. Beighton High Street is bad. But Orchard Lane (from Belfry down to the bottom) is probably the worst. It's like driving accross a potatoe field.

Beighton high street Orchard street, sothall - its like driving on a potato field. Rockingham street - between west street and broad lane Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android

Trams are running. Just got on the first tram from halfway. Saw plenty of stagecoach green double deckers go out of the depot so they plan on running some kind of service. No sign of any first services on the roads so far. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android

Roads were fine a sort time ago. The main problem was people driving at 15mph in the outside lane of the parkway.
