Thank you roseabi, and good luck to you. What a busy weekend for runners (and cyclists). There is a lot of excitement in the Vitality 10k camp as you can imagine, and your forum will be inundated with posts afterwards.

The weather is looking great for these activities and I’ll be waving pom-poms for you all, whatever you are doing and wherever you are. Go for it.

I reckon this time of year is a sweet spot where it's reliably warm and dry (ish) but, usually, not too hot

Wow 😮 That is a really huge turnout this weekend. Good luck to all the other runners and, as Beachcomber66 has said, London is not going to know what has hit it. Excitement is off the scale after 2 years of waiting! Think I’ll need to set aside a whole day to read all the race reports 😂😂

I was slightly concerned over pompom stocks, but am now more than adequately equipped, having found the solution: youtube.com/watch?v=GsAKu2a...

Thanks for the Pom Pom Post roseabi !!!

Virtual Vitality 10000 DONE! Several days ahead of schedule! Not remotely expecting to do it today, wasn't wearing my bib and took a less than ideal route for running a 10k (4km of river bank which is rather wonky under foot!). Not done anywhere near enough prep so the legs and glutes will be shouting at me tonight

But once we got underway, I had my trusty running buddy (🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾) who never lets me down and the conditions were IDEAL (cloudy, cool, breeze and light drizzle - perfection). So he and I just pressed on and got it all done! Ably assisted in my ears by Coach Bennett, a spot of mindfulness support from Andy Puddicombe and the blazing glory that is my Killers Playlist. Goddam, they are good. Supposed to be going to The Emirates on 4th June to actually see them! 😍😍😍

GOOD LUCK to all of you doing the "actual" London 10000 tomorrow and the other events this week.
