    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    If your knees are playing up, it's usually because your quads aren't used to it. They love transferring any strain to your knees. Just try going easy and gradually build things up, perhaps dial back the pace.

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Might give the superfeet a go, been and tried enertor but didn't get along with it. It's very annoying, my feet are like a ratchet and my fitness has taken a hit for it. Edit - Thanks for the advice, I've gone and ordered their run relief insoles which are intended for plantar fascitis so...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Any of you had issues with plantar fascitis, been doing lots of stretching which is helping but it's slow going. I'd really like to be rid of this thing.

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Decided to wait it out, I'd like to see what battlemage brings along with Ryzen 8000 fsr3 and the hdpc connector. Q2 next year is going to be an interesting time for sure.

    The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

    Just curious guys, rather than upgrade my whole pc I was thinking of getting a 7900xtx and grabbing a 6950x for my x99 board as it seems to hold up very well. Do you think this is a good route to go, I'll save the motherboard upgrades for later down the line as I'm currently using a...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Thanks, had a lot of fun doing it shame I didn't place higher then again not shabby for someone who is 49. They had bagpipes with a beast running at you on the top of the beacon that was a surprise.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S23 Family Thread ****

    How do you adjust the fstop/aperture on the camera? Got it showing on screen, but can't find any way of changing it.

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    I think most have said what's applicable, just go easy drink plenty and rocktape any bits that'll rub. More importantly have fun, and don't do what I do and mash that throttle at the start Did the beacon beast last Sunday, did very well held second until 31k where I got lost a couple times...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S23 Family Thread ****

    Seems your right, sold out nearly everywhere, £60 on eBay so I'll sit tight for now. I had a gatadol or whatever they call it, it would have worked if only they proved enough glue. Edit - decided to go for Samsung care instead.

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S23 Family Thread ****

    Anyone found a glass screen protector for the ultra that works, I bought one and whilst good there wasn't enough glue to properly apply it. Also what wallets are we using, currently have some dux case which is nice, but got a nillikin coming which has a slide cover for the lenses, along with...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Haven't posted for a while, been busy plus nothing much has changed. Did switch to carnivore diet for the last three weeks, it made a marked improvement to my overall well being. Anyway did the south west traverse over the weekend, tough as it was a right quagmire but still managed sub 10 with...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Oh dear, that'll be mine though I have both the 4ah battery and the smaller one for the rear led unit. Always had a suspicion that tiny battery might be a fail point. I have the trail speed 5r also, which is for ultras and misty days as the trail runner struggles in such conditions. Have you had...

    Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

    Your are right there, the presentation is by far the best I've seen to date and I have a lot of frags to compare it with. As for the smell it's divine. The Alexandria is good, but only an approximation bit like dua fortune only better. The naxos is stronger, and yet easier on the nose. That mix...

    Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

    Well I bought Alexandria 1981X and while nice, I'm not blown away with it. So I've gone and bought Naxos, cost a penny as stocks are hard to find but I'm really looking forward to wearing it.

    Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

    Thanks I'll have a think, got the insurrection and I'm impressed. It's not wow, but for the price is a very decent frag. Along a similar line to detour noir, in that it gets you close, I'll just buy Naxos eventually. Red tobacco is impressive, but it'll take time to figure it out.

    Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

    What's the chances of that, just bought red tobacco and insurrection 2 wild and see similar in the comments. Love the red tobacco, I can see why the start is polarizing. Still waiting on insurrection, got it coming today and I love Naxos so can't wait. Any suggestions for what women love, I'm...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Do they help with aches and pains, and can you run in them? Got me tempted to grab a pair, I'm guessing they come up small.

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Yeah I did, I was actually worried for this one an me yet I can go smash an ultra and think nothing of it. It's partly from it being uncharted territory, and the fact it's all road so hard on those joints. Only two weeks later so I feel back to normal, didn't help my running 7 times in the last...
