Hello Mr. McCabe,


Silly question I suspect, but - does the distance increase every Saturday? I'm a little worried because I didn't attend last week. And what if someone doesn't attend for several weeks and then decides to turn up? I mean, I'm not keen on getting a heart attack LOL!

Good afternoon Ms Mock!


Its a really good question to be aired, and can happy say that the distance will remain the same. The technique I use means that the runners cover an extra 50% of the distance.

Last Saturday, I made a tini tiny change at the beginning which had an immediate impact: After we stretch, the powerwalkers take the diagonal path across the Rye which enables the joggers and powerwalkers to arrive at the first stop point at the same time.


The powerwalkers are the Pace-Makers, by the time the faster ones get to the top of the Rye, they then coast back to the Pace-Makers. Again, the entire group converge more-or-less at the same time. I have this operationally nailed - and it this that makes the group work so well.


BTW Ms Mock, I don't think you have bought me a Latt? yet for my services :)) Albeit, thank you for the Lime and Soda on Monday evening!


Best,


McCabe.



ps. 'Don't tell anyone' the last part of the CV routine will be changing for the faster ones. When we move between the Flag Poles and the Triangle at an 80% pace, the faster ones will continue through and straight down the path to the raise flower beds and then back up. Basically, no stop point for them......sshh! Not a word to anyone >:D<

What ARE you like Mr. McCabe!!!!???? (Rhetorical question)


Thank you for...ahem...putting my mind at rest...I trust you are qualified in administering Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation!


Now, I acknowledge that you have recently celebrated a 62nd birthday, but even I hadn't anticipated the extent of the premature senility which appears to be plaguing you at present.


1. Your recent highly amusing input on a certain cycling thread has not escaped my notice. However, in your bid to entertain the ED cycling community, you omitted to post details of your forthcoming marathon. I have today, therefore, taken the liberty of posting details on your behalf for the benefit of those who do not visit this section.


2. I am mortified that you cannot remember that cup of latte:'( in return for your...ahem...services. Mortified I tell you. It was at the end of my first session with your group (*sniff*). I sucked boiled sweets, whilst you slurped your latte. (*further sniff*).


In case I do not see you on Saturday (I shall be out on the piss again on Friday), good luck with the marathon on Sunday.



Lady Mock.


PS: the Monday Social was incredible...what a turnout!

Ah ha!


The latt?, looks like I need to retract that submission hey?! :-)


On a point of a quick diversion, have you put the 2.5Km / 5Km in your diary for mid January?


The Monday social, we may need to find a larger venue - the EDT was pretty full. Can you remind me of the venue just up the road that you guys go to?

I couldn't agree more.

When you say "you guys", presumably you speak of my piss-artist companions and me? Oh we go anywhere that will have us...Franklins, The Palmerston, Green & Blue, The Black Cherry, The Bishop, Hoopers, The Montpelier, The Victoria Inn...the list really is endless.

Please can you count me in! I can start on Sat 11th Dec, as I have not been in the best of health, my fitness levels have gone etc..........it will be nice to meet some locals in the area.


If I miss the start date, can I still just come along when I can?


Thanks Samina

Thats really good Samina!


The last session will be on the 18th December, followed by a nice long break.


I will be in San Francisco on your first day, but that will be fine - just fill in the health form on the website and email it back. Please feel free to pop along this Saturday and meet for a coffee at the end, or say hello at the beginning to get a feel of what we do.


The numbers are between 9 & 18, but they will be reduced due to the lead up to Christmas.



Best,


McCabe

No worries,


There are heaps of people with the Cold / Flu at the moment, do the right thing and stay warm and hydrated - fresh lemon and honey with hot water does the trick!


I've seen fitness articles that say you should continue training - my response is always NO! Your body temperature is high for a good reason, this is to fight the infection..... working out will only raise the temperature further. A good walk however will be far more beneficial.


So in summary, you could have walked to the caf? on the Rye and bought me a Latt?, that would have been a win - win for both you & I :-)

I read somewhere that if the cold is in your head, a gentle workout was a good thing with the emphasis on gentle! But if it had moved to the chest, you shouldn't do any additional exercise.


I do like the honey and lemon although adding a medicinal shot of whisky to kill any bugs in the throat always makes me, at least, feel slightly better!

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By vladi · Posted

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Wanted: Old Wheelbarrows

      By carrie123 · Posted

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie

      This is quite a serious allegation. What evidence is there of this? Pressured how and by whom? This is quite a spin on ‘it’s been agreed with the emergency services’. They think the vehicles pictured driving through with partially covered plates are the result of ‘poor signage’ 🤔  If it is as they say ‘small numbers’ driving through the square, that doesn’t suggest that the signage is unclear. I mean who honestly believes it’s possible to drive through there without noticing the signs / planters (assuming you’re driving with due care and attention)?! 🤨  Also, haven’t ‘One’ opposed any improvements to the layout / landscaping and signage proposed by Southwark? It’s all a bit desperate. At the height of the LTN ‘controversy’ a number of co-ordinated ‘One’ groups popped up across London. It doesn’t feel like a local grassroots movement, but has all the hallmarks of astroturfing. The lack of transparency about it’s funding / sponsorship and structure does not help with this impression.

      Hi there, My children and I are adopting 4 ex-battery hens and seeking a secondhand home for them, let me know if you have anything, of any style that might fit four feathered ladies in. I can collect at your convenience this weekend or during the week.    Warmest, Hannah
