Total Love!


Go dude!


As a contribution I will ping out a message to my fitness group to raise awareness of this in 2-weeks time for the 18th of April. Its a FREE nay money group on the Rye park, yet for this it will be a ?5 contribution.


Best!



McCabe.

Nay bother,


Sam, Tom, mum and you will have a super time :-)


2 FREE personal training sessions first, Dulwich Park or on the Rye as a group.


Adductors (inside of the thigh) and Abductors on the outside will need conditioning prior the events. These are sabilisation muscle sets, allowing the Quads and Hams to transfer forwards.


I'm a former SAS, triathlete coach from Imperial College, London and leading forensic scientist. Cycle training is evil with me, nay back off but you will be faster than others - totally trust McCabe. Can of tuna and a can of beans before the ride or event (complex carbs and a protein breakdown - re-breaks to carbs).


Hurt before the event, on the bike make sure your leg extention is 95% - the final kick is your strongest.


Want some fun? - gentle ride to the Caterham 5-ways roundabout - A22 to the M25 roundabout and back (c.2.5-miles each way). Arse out of the seat on the hills. Hi Vis and defo flashing lights with new batteries - I used recharge. If you can't climb each of the two hills each way then give up now!



MS, Neuro, Sickle Cell, remission etc...... I will work you harder.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
