Shameless, misleading promotion from @ChocomelNL @ChocomelUK offering free product purchase. They claim the product I bought wasn't the hot chocolate variant so deny the refund, yet it literally states on the packaging "Try me hot for the ultimate hot chocolate"

@VirginMoney I've been trying to solve an issue on the credit card customer service line for over an hour. Cut off twice after 30min each time of being on hold. Trying to sort out declined purchases. Useless.

[Rory Campbell @rufeus]

@VirginMoney I cannot use the app because I’m a secondary card holder, which in itself, is ridiculous.

@Elana9211 @TicketmasterUK Outrageous. Greedy bastards.

Hey @ComradesRace I've tweeted and emailed about this issue and haven't had any response about this issue for 4 weeks.

The Comrades finishers jacket that I paid for and received has got a fault on the zip. I’m extremely disappointed that there’s a tear and it catches every time that I attempt to zip it up. Please advise on how to get an exchange.

I’ve travelled to the Arctic Circle with an array of camera equipment to capture the Aurora Borealis. It was cloudy for the entire week.

Tonight, in the south of England, I ambled outside and casually snapped these with my iPhone.

@LondonMarathon Are participants allowed to wear a running backpack tomorrow?

[Rory Campbell @rufeus]

@kelvin_watt @GarethWhittaker @ComradesRace @jackdavisultra Thank you both! Much appreciated.

this is one of the most important graphs that I saw in 2023 that has led to behavior change. This is in Peter Attia's book Outlive

tldr:
if you want to be able to climb stairs when you are 75, you need to be in the top 95th percentile of cardiovascular fitness. With this, you won't be able to run nor briskly climb stairs

But if you are average/low, you may not even be able to do any of that. And it seems unlikely you'll be avg/low now (I'm in my early 40s) and then somehow go from 50th percentile to 95th. So basically it's better to get started

Thus, after reading his book, I reluctantly started running again even though I hate it. And am also doing some peloton / cycling outdoors when time/weather allows

@boston_sp0rts20 @CryptoD40059700 @ZeeStrong60 @beachboysammy @NickKnudsenUS @LEISUREGODDESS You found it, but have you actually read it? Maybe read that again? Slowly.

@King1Kita Yes. No. I ran the London marathon today in pouring rain. This wasn’t today. Choose your news better next time.

@AnthonyMenecola We called it called a "notch" in one design language I worked on.
