Hi guys I've been trawling around for decent/helpful posts on back packs but couldn't find much.....can anyone recommend a decent one for running to work with? (ie enough room in it for my work clothes, lunch and a few bits and bobs) Decided to start having some active travel to keep fitness up and save on my petrol costs a little

Hi Ben,

For wht its worth its a great event I've done it the last few years both as a walker and also as a runner and its good fun whichever approach you take on the day. Raggedstaff's summed it up very nicely and I recommend enjoying it and the cake and drink stops and everyone is really friendly- its a brilliant event alround. I've ran it last few years ok in road shoes but depends how serious you are, lol

MRF good luck with the new job.  Doing what?

Ken,no idea on the drugs but if you feel better it has to be good, so maybe not question too closely and see how it goes?  It could be that they're totally different types of drug, so a totally different dosage is appropriate?

CraigeyB I was just thinking we had a hell of a lot in common!     If you look at the bottom of each post there's a couple of little speech marks.  Click on that, that's how to quote, and it shows who originally said what.  Much less confusing!

Hi Hash, it's early days to be honest and feeling pretty s****y but alot has happened in the last few weeks and months, had a stressful job too which didn't help but admitting the problem its the first step in getting help and talking over things does help. Am on holiday soon so that should help too hopefully with some sun and warmth and being away from work and everything at home.It's just tough when every day is a battle to get out of bed, go to work and just function- it sounds daft to anyone who hasn't experienced it but it's truly a horrid place to be. Glad to hear you are feeling better, getting some sleep and things going well. My mate made me run the hell runner a few weekends back which was painful but good fun, just going to put my all into training and getting through this.

No it doesn't sound even remotely daft, have a well-deserved good holiday and let us know how you go.
