Note to self :

1. tie shoe laces correctly before commencing a run !!

2. stopping mid run to tie shoe laces knocks the stuffing out of my rhythm

3. push start button on stop watch when I start running no some time during the run

4. 5.48 KM no idea how long it took

5. BE AMAZED at progress in a little over two months ( inc IC time )

hope everyone is doing well

Nick

I had the shoelace problem and the advice here was to use elastic lock laces. Got a pair through Ebay - they're very cheap - and no further stops en route, which is a great relief in the Parkrun when my best time is v. slow and tying a shoelace makes it pathetically slow.

Not what you're looking for?
