Nutty, can I ask two questions


What sort of pace/distance are you running at currently?

Assuming we are of a similar pace (Se my runs here


Would you want a training partner for some of your runs?

Maybe we need to create a special forum wave for when running so potentially unable to say "do you post?!" ??


Have also realised that the 3 of you I spoke to yesterday - I didn't ask what you're names on here were so still not sure who I met.... not doing 3 consecutive nights out for my birthday next year - realising brain can't handle it!!!

Buggie - we had realised the same thing as you walked back from the cafe but didn't get to meet again - citizened was the gentleman reclining on the ground, his partner in the deck chair beside him (a lurker on here) and I was the white haired loon in the other deckchair

Eric - you are way out of my running league!


Thanks for the offer but:

a) I'm only running between 5-10k a session as it's part of a triathlon training (so quite often do 20-40k on a bike first then run)

b) The triathlon I've been working toward is this weekend so training will be much less often afterwards

c) I hate running, maybe because I weigh so much it hurts! (so re (b) unlikely to do so much running in the schedule post-tri)

d) I have a baby due in September so suspect all training may go out of the window to make time for sleeping :)


Again thanks for the offer, I suspect there are a few more accomplished runners on here who may join you if you start a dedicated post....


I like the sound of this wave - any ideas anyone?

I can go slower!!!



> Thanks for the offer but:

OK, no problem, didn;t know was that close. I'd like to do a tri, but swimming skills are non-existant. Having lessons so i can do a descent pace are on my "To Do" list.

I run with Dulwich Park Runners (Beginners lessons starting soon - Watch that website) , so run with the fast peeps quite regular, but am always looking for others to run with, it just make the runs more enjoyable, even if you don't chat much.

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.

      I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think

      Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
