diet, training and injuries / Re: One for the runners

I think the ballot thing is pretty random. I live in the South East & know diehards that have never got in & people who enter for the craic & shit themselves because they get in. I think the way to go with London if you are determined is to find an obscure charity that's not after £1000000000000.....

Many of my friends, proper runner's and charity chugger love it as a race or 'bucket list event' I've done a few marathons, the biggest being Brighton twice, but never fancied it.

If you dont manage to get your hands on a copy I'd be happy to take pics of mine for you, though it might be a bit unwieldy as it's not the clearest of guides at the best of times!

Does anyone have a copy of the latest Lundy (2008 Paul Harrison) guidebook they're willing to part with? It's sold out and the new guide isn't due out until next year. Cheers.

On Gideon Falter there was was an ex superintendent on the TV this morning defending the Lawrence family concerns. He also mentioned it's worth watching the full news clip on Sky news. Gideon had a camera crew ready and was trying to cross the path of the March itself. The superintendent was clear the Jewish comments were totally unacceptable but Gideon doesn't seem to be quite what he claimed.

https://news.sky.com/story/sky-news-footage-reveals-new-details-of-exchange-between-police-and-antisemitism-campaigner-called-openly-jewish-13120104

Essential viewing to get the full context. I think the police in that footage are being the adults in the room and look calm and polite. Of course he has a right of freedom of expression of faith, and to wear whatever he wants and go where he wants. But compare with a normal weekend afternoon up and down the country when rowdy opposing tribes of football fans are escorted by police in an effort to try to retain the peace, and not allow potentially volatile crowds to antagonise each other to the point of violence... we don't hear much about self-important football fans claiming they're being victimised by not being allowed their freedom to freely walk into an emotionally-charged crowd of people who may not like you very much, risking their own safety and those of the people who would inevitably have to try to sort it out following an inflammation. And then complaining that the police aren't keeping them safe by allowing public order to breakdown because of their lemming-like fondness for a confrontation with reality.

He's acting like a man-baby. Says it all that now the fuller picture has emerged that he claims he's now being victim-blamed. He has 'want-to-be-victim-of-injustice' stamped all over his core based on that footage.

There was also a piece on C4 news - where they found phone footage of Gideon F trying to cross the march on at least two other occasions and being asked not to by two different police officers. It appears that his behavior was being observed by a plain clothes officer and when G was challenged about this and denied it - said officer piped up to contradict him.
