In the market for a new laptop, I haven't owned one for years as I haven't had the need! But going back to uni part time so think it might be sensible. Would need to be a fairly good one considering the course is IT based! Anyone seen any deals or have any recommendations! Thanks

Just trying to gather some opinion. I've recently been thinking about offer a bike cleaning service, would people be interested, or reluctant to let another man touch their machine? I was thinking a decent price point might be around £12 for full clean, with drivetrain degrease and lube reapplied. Thoughts?

Will u come down and do mine?

Based in Belfast - 50p a mile?

Do you intend to use power washer ?

No I wouldn't use a power washer, just a normal hose, brushes and sponges. Wouldn't use power washer as it can damage bearings etc.

I'm not a qualified bike mechanic so wouldn't be confident with others bikes in anything other than cleaning! Not looking to make this a full time venture, would probably limitrnkt to 5 bikes a week!

Any other suggestions or thoughts?

Hi

I've got a 300 c2w voucher which I plan to use on accessories. first thing on this list is a good reflect jacket and second is a decent pair of bib tights - have anyone got a recommendation for them?

Also if you have any other suggestions i could use my voucher for - they would be very welcome.

thanks

Worst thing is, there will now be a search to identify who leaked this and broke the trust of the group!! I can only assume they will be asked to leave the club!! If they have not done already!

OK Excel Gurus, this is probably really simple to ye but I'd appreciate the help. 

I have a list of 700 values in a column (say column A) like D01, D02, D06 etc.
In Column B, I have a list of 1700 values in a column, like D01, D02, D03, D05 etc,

So essentially the 1700 rows in column b are a super set of column A.

What I am trying to do, via Lookup is to identify, in a column C, which of the Column B values are in the subset in Column A.

What I am looking for is basically like this

D01    D01   Yes
D04    D02   No
D06    D03   No
          D04   Yes
          D05   No
          D06   Yes

I almost had it with lookup, but the best I could have was to put the D number itself into Column C if it was found, and I really want to have something a bit neater than that.

Cheers

Add an IF function.

=If (vlookup(......),"Yes", "No")

Strict with the recovery time. It challenges the body to remove lactic acid and then use it as an energy source.
Even spread of splits with a gradual reduction in recovery time...5 second reduction every 2-3 weeks once you can maintain even splits across the session.

Thanks guys - great advice. I will have to adjust my target times (allowing for current 5K pace) few other question:

What would you say a good goal would be in terms of maintaining the split time? for a 400m (with 3 turns)? and in terms of reps per session, and maximum recovery time? (im thinking long term goals that would provide a decent level of fitness for football)

For example, would you say a session consisting of 8x400m at 85s, with 60s rest is achieveable over the next couple of months?

Lads, I have a running question. I have started my pre preseason training. Hoping to get in good running shape  to play 60 minutes of football by April 2016. I am currently running 400m (100m shuttles). Doing two session of 6x400m, and will increase the number of reps as the weeks go on.

My question is surrounding recovery and pace. I thought a decent target for a base level of fitness would be a 5K in 22 mins. So through some quick research online, it said that i should be doing my 400m in around 90s, recovery, then repeat.

However I find that I am doing the first one in about 80s, then they drop off fairly steeply, to 90,95 sort of area. I take 2/3 mins recovery between each run.

Should I try and pace myself more to get more in at under the 90s and be strict with recovery time or should I run each one as hard as possible, and take more recovery? Looking for the quickest way to improve fitness levels.
Thanks

I think my tyres have started to see better days - going to get some new ones, anyone got any recommendations for a road bike? Starting to pick up a few punctures on the way to and from work.
