@fellrunningguid I spent the day going from fog (lower down) to sunshine (further up) and back again! Yorkshire Dales.

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@Josephineperry YES! Plus then the mind playing tricks about whether the thing is hurting again or not!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@PhysisPhysio Wow! What does the dog make of this though? Ours would be going bonkers!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

My friend Tom is looking for support runners- lovely guy to spend a few hours with.

@wtk001 is attempting the Bob Graham Round starting the 13th of July. Any of my trail running buddies @ultrabritton @TMR_Coaching if you could retweet or think of anyone that fancies a wee jog, let us know!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@Josephineperry I tried it this evening on a super king size, and it worked!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@andykirkland71 @CRiC_SCR I go away for two nights and the dog gets all philosophical?

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@GiveMeSpace3 I'm OK with it compared to some stuff. It's mostly fungi, isn't it?

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@Scottishrunner @antonmcgale The more you like a bike, the more you want to ride it though! And that means being comfortable and fun... worth paying for those things (and conversly not paying for a few grams saving if you get what you need for less).

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@Scottishrunner You could also just lock out the suspension (assuming your bike has that, most do) and change the wheels and/or tyres to something narrower and slicker. It would make a significant difference to speed on easy ground.

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@Scottishrunner Ah something like The Heb? I think it depends on how good your MTB is, how much you'd use it as a MTB otherwise, how competitive you want to be and how secure the bike storage is at your work!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@Scottishrunner If you want to adventure race the rules might say it has to be a mountain bike. If you're "just riding", or doing gravel races ... I've just bought a gravel bike +1 to mountain bike and fallen in love! It would be cheaper to convert but wanted both and it rides like a dream.

@garyhusband Is that chips or crisps?!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@bgr0 @ebrunner0 @DawnThomas2311 @UKRunChat I've been really pleased with my M&S zip front one. I did spend ages trying different sizes in the shop, and found that even what looked like the same design in different colours actually sized a bit differently, so it was worth trying. No wires.

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@lucygoss @andykirkland71 @TheSpineRace Thank you Lucy, and well done on your own run!!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@TMR_Coaching Did Maggie win?

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@GiveMeSpace3 I often face this dilemma. Usually wee and brew, turn up 2 mins late, find docs whilst someone else is speaking?

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@andykirkland71 @Josephineperry @lucygoss @TheSpineRace I won't know what to do without my curly brown powerhouse giving me assistance up the hills!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@GiveMeSpace3 I would go baggy waist. Hate a waistband digging in when I lean over on a bike and they're not going to fall down when you're cycling. Plus as someone else said, they'll wear thin quicker in critical places if they're stretched!

[Rosemary Byde @planetbyde]

@FlyGuyYYC @EurostarJustinp I'm going to take a guess at Le Café de l'Est ... I went there in the summer, my friend had this soup and the surrounds look very familiar! (If not, can still recommend 😀)

@cocteautriplets The third picture isn't wildly dissimilar to the inside of Gogarburn.
