I recently got the forerunner 265s and I bloody love it! It was way more than I’d pay usually but I really like how it has smart watch features too. Not sure if it’s on the prime deals tho

I also recently got this watch as an upgrade to my old Forerunner 645 music and I absolutely love it too. So impressed with the battery life as well even though it's got an AMOLED screen. Got a good chunk of money off by buying it on Sports Shoes with my running club code so that's a good option if anyone's club has one of those
 
Garmin also do a bluelightcard discount of upto 40% on many of their running watches

The GoPro wankers are just getting free entry after free entry and it's complete and utter BS because it's just organisers thinking free marketing. It's the ridiculous long selfie sticks that get me annoyed and how they have no awareness of others around them. Like that Fordy bunch are freaks, just think it's their own event and take over like no one else is around, it's embarrassing.

My husband was saying the new YouTuber arse licking Ben is running has called brands out if a vlog last week saying he wants to work with them and is going to call them out on YouTube and write to them to get products sent. It's just pathetic, they're mostly grown ass adults
 
It’s back on one of the threads here one of the running YouTubers went to do a track session or maybe a race and was stood in the lanes which other people were using and was told off for standing in the wrong place (not least because sprinters are fast and can’t stop quickly and javelins you know… are flying spears) and was really indignant about the poor treatment of YouTubers, it was so cringe
 
Agreed re not liking GoPros in races. It's far too busy at the start of races anyway when paying full attention, never mind having to go round someone who's looking at their camera.

Perhaps if people did it in a considerate manner, before/after a race and only at quiet points during the race they'd get less hate.

Besides, you've paid good money and trained hard for a race, why not just concentrate on running it to the best of your ability?

These clowns don’t pay to enter these events, don’t be silly!

I just run through Greenwich park and saw a guy with all the stuff (illumination, tripod, etc) talking to his phone like he was someone. Seriously, this IG/influencers bubble must stop

Haha. Should’ve grabbed a photo for here!

Although tbf, sometimes they’re PTs doing this and that is warranted, but running knobs aren’t and they definitely need to stop

hahahaha, next time! (I really need a new one, mine is almost 10 years old!)

Could be a PT, but you can do that at home, I mean, there are people like me that don't want to be in the background of those things

Long time lurker here!

So Runnerbeans first promotes Lululemon, then is all over Sweaty Betty, runs in Brooks. 3 days ago posts a Reel paking 3 pairs of Hoka shoes for her holidays, now she is promoting On shoes and shorts. What is next?

Firstly, welcome 👋🏻

So Runnerbeans was off on yet another holiday, how relatable. I watched that reel - who really takes all that running kit on holiday? I bet a million freebies she didn’t pack any of that. She talks about speed shoes, long run shoes, fuel - then that bullshit body positivity post says she ran 30 minutes each day.
The constant brand change is because she’s rich enough to buy her kit but cheap enough to not want to.
 
The state of this knob! Oh I bet the whole of instagram can’t wait and have been pacing around for your delayed race post! Oh then you little tease by blurring your time, talk about keeping us in such suspense with your constant bore fest 🤡 do love the two guys in the back thinking what a bleeping cock you are 🤣
