Possibly but I've not seen a rubbish truck outside of weekdays 🤔 or maybe I have and just forget about it as it's not a weekday 🤷‍♂️

My local council also does that now. So collection was Wednesday anyone on Monday is collected on Tuesday. Not sure how they compress the schedule like that as they are always rushing on a normal week.

Controversial indeed. Didn't they make a buttons bar at one point? may have been a special edition but I do recall one.

Always a place for the buttons though...

Could probably get them resoled without too much cost, assuming the upper and cush is still okay.

I use a Salomon pulse belt and works well for when I need to carry them without holding them for longer periods of time.

First timer in carbon shoes, yeah great way to cause injuries in the majority of people... They really need to be called out on this. Shocking.

Nice little 5mile walk in Richmond Park and the legs are feeling surprisingly good after last weekends fun. I think I get another week of low activity before the build up starts for the next race 👌🏻
