Does anyone have an advice for sizing of Time MTB shoes? I'm a 10 but take 46 in Sidis. Are they more Italian sizing?

Is there empirical evidence that supports the oft-repeated comment about cycling helping running but not the other way around, in all cases?

The main reason is to do with stress - until you're running large volumes and have conditioned your legs to cope with it, you cannot stress your aerobic systems much with running compared to what you can with cycling. Once you can stress your aerobic system with running, then specificity is going to win - the problem is new runners can't stress their aerobic systems much so it doesn't benefit cycling as much.

So no, it's not going to be in all cases, but like so many things in running, if you don't have the volume, it takes so long to get there, with associated injury risk, that being able to do more, of the less specific sport is beneficial. I should've added the caveat of course.

Is this ever so slightly excessive

I had this injection in my ankle at a bupa hospital luckily I only have to pay a 20% contribution.

I talked to the hospital and they said it was in line with there agreements with bupa so I phoned bupa to point out they were getting ripped and they were also very happy with it�

It was put in under x-ray so I was expecting a charge for that but �736 is this mad or am I just a tight git????

I also had an MRI that was only �350 how can a MRI be cheaper than a injection

Has the world gone mad?

I need to sit down and have a cup of tea and get over this, sorry rant over now.

Only tea? Or is a medicinal brandy �1500?

It's inflation. Inflating the bill to what the market will bear.

As long as the man from BUPA says "Yes!" they'll charge it.

So, two brick runs per week? I'm sure I read somewhere (TTB possibly) that you should only do one a week and better one every two weeks.

I know that it's to simulate jelly legs off the bike, but it seems pointless after a 45 min bike in Z2. Will def do it after the long ride on sat though.

Yes agree the compression tights are quality, in fact most of the 2xu range is. Was just wondering about the shorts as I ordered the wrong ones by mistake.

I`ve been suffering with what I imagine is tennis elbow since September. A burning pain is my elbow and forearm which just will not go away. A couple of weeks of brufen didn`t touch it.

I have finally given in and have a Dr`s appointment on Tuesday. Is a cortisone injection the best treatment? Anecdotally, this seems to be what most people receive for it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I'm looking for an iphone app that I can upload route files to ... kml, kmz, gpx or similar .... so I can follow the routes while I'm out running.

I'm doing JOGLE in a couple of months and it would be handy to have the route on the iphone for backup should my paper map reading go all a bit wrong

Anyone know of any apps that might fit the bill?

Many thanks all

Ive been reading this thread with some interest and thought I should have a comment. The race on the weekend just had way to many people on the bike course at once. As one of the quickest cyclists I am having to overtake a lot more people than most and was constantly being held up and spent half the time on the wrong side of the road.
Which is very dangerous but would have lost minutes if I had stuck to the rules. If a marshal had seen this I may have been disqualified and would have felt very hard done by as Iam sure sure I was not the only one.
I find this an increasing problem. The worst place I have experienced this is at Dorney lake and will never race there again which is a shame, but when you are racing around at close to 30mph contantly overtaking for 40k you really have to have your wits about you and I like my very expensive bike in one piece.
Did any of the fast runners get held up and deprived of running there best time?

Are you the guy that tried to overtake me a few times (pictured earlier in the thread)?

I had exactly the same problems as you had, with spending long stretches on the opposite side of the road to avoid getting held up.

There were a few hairy moments trying to negotiate my way past cars and big groups of slow riders hogging the entire lane (not the safest thing to do on the aero bars). I know Piercy had to shout at a few to keep left.

I've signed up for one of the Eaton supersprints so that should be fun trying to hack through a stream of slow riders.
