just doing the best I can - solving problems, being outside, running long and short distances and eating healthy stuff....it ain’t rocket science

Can't help but think that if our ancestors could see us now, they'd be amazed at what we have achieved, but disgusted at what we have become

@johngetstrong I love the way this is represented. Is it just done in Excel or is there some clever data stuff going on behind the scenes....? And congrats on the progress.

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@zachhomol_ Respect for doing that Zach. After 50 miles all kinds of stuff starts going wrong, no matter how good a runner you are.

@BanquetRecords hi - I bought the joint vinyl and ticket for @shedseven at Kingston this Thursday. I have the vinyl (what an amazing album - congrats guys) but no ticket for Thursday's gig yet. Will it be emailed to me or posted? Tried emailing Banquet but not reply.

@Alan_Couzens I’m doing some self-research this weekend. Did a full lab lactate test a year ago and since then have been clobbered by long-COVID. Will be fascinating to see what on earth is going on under the covers as I try to increase the intensity. Suspect the lactate is going thru the roof

@tyromper To be fair dude, I'm not sure that all secular music has lyrics that are "POISON"!

Whilst there is some that is of course, there's a lot of uplifting positive music around and always as been.......

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@TaylorMod The sheer joy in this reminds me of how it felt to us back in 1988 and 1989. It's slightly anarchic and they're having such a brilliant time.

@brady_h My wife has a MacBook and I have a Dell laptop. Her MacBook is an utter pain in the backside whenever I need to help her with something and once it dies she will go back to a laptop.

@fesshole I lost the hearing in my left ear after an illness 5 years ago. It is really tedious all day and evening but at nights I can sleep wonderfully by simply sleeping on my right side. Don’t hear a thing

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@TommyAnna5 @SartorialThug I think you just wrote one of those fancy Japanese poems?

“The sun has dried the hailstones
That landed on the outdoor furniture
15 minutes ago. “

I think you should be Poet Laureate

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@TaylorMod Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Their B-sides, seasides and freerides album is a wonder

@runningido It took me 3 goes to get it right, but once I did, my times were much better and overtaking people for 3 laps is _a lot_ of fun.

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@runningido So....having done exactly that at the same age 3 years ago, my one bit of advice would be to pick a realistic target time and check against it every 200m for the first 1.4k. Everybody else will go off like the clappers....after 1.4k, just "race it" - it's only 4 laps by then

@ChrisWillx Or Zumba

@runliftrunlift It’d be fascinating to take a random marathon cohort and put them thru a couple of years of solid consistent z1&2 at decent volume to see what the change in time is.
Wonder what % of the population if they did steady z1/2 for a decade could do 2:45. Bet it’d be startlingly high.

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@LottieWoad @anwagolf What an amazing achievement Lottie. Well done.

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@lupinrider @Alan_Couzens I was at the Spectrum Frank Morton in 1990! And all the rest of them 😂. What carnage they were!

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@TheMarieOakes Assuming that you are anti-FGM you should be anti this. It removes pretty much the same set of bodily tissue in boys as FGM does in girls.

There are some medical reasons but outside of those, it is no better than FGM in my opinion.

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@lupinrider @Alan_Couzens @feelthebyrn1 Is this a “snapshot” or is there an element of “before and after” in this graph? It looks like a snapshot to me but I might be reading it wrong!

[James Warren @JamesW_72]

@lupinrider @Alan_Couzens I’ll speak to the place where I got my VO2max tested. Maybe they’ve got a graph plotted or something.

Thanks from another Chem-Enger (UMIST 90-94)!
