    Running

    As it's a 3k, go out as fast as you can. Worst case you have to hang on and slow down for the last 1k or so, but no point starting slow as there isn't enough distance to make up time at the end.
  2. It's the best fight that can be made at HW at the moment. Fury does have a chance, as he has good boxing skills and can use his jab. However like Dr P says he can also do stupid things and Cunningham knocked him down, so I just feel if Wlad gets a chance he will likely stop him. I think Wlad wins by stoppage in the later rounds. When are we going to get Frampton v Quigg, it's been talked about forever, lets just get it signed!!
  3. Need/want to finally replace my Nexus 4, but what to replace it with?? One Plus Two being released later this month according to reports, or get a Nexus 6? Is there a new Nexus due later this year? Otherwise any other phones I should look at?

    Running

    After my first HM in 2014, continued to log the miles and got in some longer runs, following the advice on here from Darren and Andy. Knocked 9 minutes off my HM PB at the Liverpool half last month, was 20 seconds from being under 95 minutes.....next time maybe!! Anyway got a 10k this weekend, so PB hunting. However the main goal is Bournemouth marathon in October followed by Brighton marathon next year!!
  5. Thinking of replacing my Nexus 4. Is it worth going to a 5? The 6 seems too large, so I've ruled that out. Otherwise considering the one plus one. Any others I should look at?
  6. Not sure yet on holidays for 2015. I'd really like to do New York and maybe Toronto, otherwise I'm thinking Vietnam and Cambodia. Still plenty of time to decide yet.

    Running

    I went out for some runs in Australia when I was on holiday over there, always made sure I went early morning before it really warmed up to avoid the heat! Although saying that I do love running outside in the UK summer.
  8. Just started watching Homeland and also downloading 24 from Sky on demand. Homeland started quite well.

    Running

    You can run everyday, lots of people do it. However they won't be running 50km everyday as that will place a lot of stress on the body. However if you do run everyday, it needs to be at a low intensity. Personally I like to have a days rest in between runs.

    Do you read?

    Born to Run by Christopher McDougall is a superb book.
  11. Agree 100% with this, I thought Rubio might be able to drag it to at least 6 rounds as he started well, but GGG is just a beast.

    Running

    Good luck with the Ironman!! The speed of my shorter distances did improve alot while training for the half, so yes I think I just need to focus on some long runs to improve my HM time. Thanks, will revise the HM target to 1:35 then. Funny you should mention the 42 min 10k, as that is what I was hoping for when I do come to race a 10k.
  13. I'm currently watching season 4 of Boardwalk, season 1 was slow, but season 3 was awesome. It's good but not up there with The Sopranos or The Wire.

    Running

    Really got into running this year, did my first half marathon (Birmingham) in just under 1:44, will be entering again next year hoping to go under 1:40. Plus will do some 10k races next year also. Have got my 5k time down by almost 2 minutes, from just over 22 mins to 20:18, which I got this weekend.....need to get that under 20 mins next year! Some good times on this thread though!
  15. Anybody else having issues with Google+ using loads of background data? Mine has used 0.9gb this month and it's never used anything remotely close to that before. I have sync photos set to only on WiFi, so that shouldn't be causing the problem. I don't even use Google+, the only use I have is for the auto backup of photos.
  16. Saw the Price fight...oh dear, he needs to start again now. He won't be getting anywhere near the Klitchko's with performances like that. I can also see Fury getting KO'd if he faces Haye, after all Haye hits much harder than Cunningham who also put Fury down. Also caught up with the Maklin v Golovkin fight, what a beast GGG is!! I did want to see GGG v Sergio Martinez, but can't see that happening now as there is no way Martinez or his team will want anything to do with GGG. Question is who does GGG fight next? I'd like to see him fight the winner for Geale v Barker, although Martin Murray has also been mentioned. Otherwise I guess he moves to 168?

    Running

    I did wonder about this as my walking socks are ace for stopping me getting blisters on long walks, so may try them on my next run.
  18. I've downloaded all 6 seasons over the weekend, however once they are removed from on demand (eg at the end of June) can I still watch them from my sky box? I've googled it but come up with different answers!! I don't think you can. NO way I'm going to fit them all in, but I can try! Don't read further up the thread. SOmeone's put a lovely spoiler in Thanks, that's a pain, as I won't be able to watch 6 seasons in a week!! Oh well, hopefully they will put them back up at some point, otherwise I'll just get the dvds.

    Running

    Started running during the summer of 2012, but then had to stop due to an injury, started again this year after resting up for a while and did my first 10km (61 mins) and 10 mile (94 mins) runs in the past few months, pleased with those, hoping to be able to do a half marathon at some point, but the 10 mile run was tough for the last 2 miles or so. May have to get some proper running shoes rather than just the normal trainers I wear as after about 6 miles I get blisters!!
  20. Any recommendations for a decent compact camera? Probably around in/around the £200 mark.

  22. Khan may be fast in the ring, but if Julio Diaz put him down, imagine what Matthysse would do to him!! If Amir and his team are smart they should want nothing to do with Lucas. I don't think that fight happens anyway as it was mentioned Amir would step up to 147 soon anyway. Let's hope they sort out Garcia V Matthysse next, that should be a good fight, although it's a pity the Peterson fight wasn't at 140 (instead of 141), as that would have meant a unification fight. Froch v Kessler part 2 this weekend too....that should be a great fight. The Sky super middleweight documentary was a good watch, agreed about Roy Jones Jnr, in his prime he was amazing, but has fought on for too long. In his prime there is no way Calzaghe beats him.
  23. FYI my speed tests on my N4 were; 17,411kbps download and 2,337kbps upload at home 6,010kbps download and 2,344kbps upload at work Currently with T-Mobile/EE. Thinking of changing to 3 purely on price, but need to get a sim to test signal/speeds before I make a decision. Just checked and I used 1.1gb of data last month and 0.98gb the previous month, but I never use wifi, so that includes all app updates etc. I could use wifi when at home/work but at home my 3g speeds are faster than my wifi speeds!! Oh and just as an update, loving the N4, so much of an improvement over my S1 in every department. Also amazing how better Android 4.2 is over 2.3 etc.
  24. Just to point out, that we beat Bradford 2-1 at Villa park, Benteke and Weimann with the goals.
  25. I saw the who Rigo v Donaire fight the other evening, wow, he definately schooled him. I'm surprised some of the judges had it as close as they did on the score cards though, I mean 114-113, 115-112 and 116-111, really?? I had it 117-110. You could tell Rigo had won as Donaire's face had a lot of damage on!! I was actually surprised by Rigo's power too. Great movement too, but the crowd were shocking....just stop booing and watch it for what it is, a technical boxing match and not a war!! As for the weekend I reckon Canelo v Trout is hard to call but I think Canelo just edges that one.
