    Not sure if it ever was intentional but I am fully metric these days as almost all running events seem to be. Still not sure why when doing a 10k, ROs put out mile markers though. Maybe that's just one of my pet hates.

    Cycling however seems to still be stuck in imperial times. I discuss pace, distance, gearing etc with cycling mates and they haven't a clue when I talk in metric. All still happy with inches, feet and miles.

    I measure my weekly mileage and ascent in miles and feet. Just have a familiarity with it. And i dutifully record my Fell Race performances in the back of the handbook and use miles/feet (though that's the only thing I use the handbook for.... barely glance at it otherwise, what with the online calendar being so user friendly).

    Though it's an easy calculation from metres-feet and km-miles....

    I was mulling over whether to convert whilst jogging round Kinder on Friday Evening. At end I'd only ran 5/8 of the distance of my buddy, but I'd nailed him on the climb - around 3 times his piddling amount!
    I may wait til Brexit, as I may be forced by some Brussels Bureaucrat to run further with less elevation. They haven't debated that factor in Westminster.

    I've been looking for my 2022 FRA fixtures calendar and cannot seem to find it.

    Have just thought that perhaps I never had it in the first place.

    Have they been sent out yet?

    It has a greenish cover of Steve Jacques in the Buttermere Horseshoe. The shot is looking down into the valley with no one else in sight. A small figure climbing in a vastness of terrain. Stunning shot.

    Thanks all. Now I'm certain I've not received it yet.

    I'll give it a week or two and then see if there are any spare ones available.

    Was he leading or last?

    A great friend of mine once appeared in a Mountain bike magazine double spread on the Three Peaks Cyclocross Race (a race you must do!) coming off the last Peak with nobody in sight behind him

    He Told everybody half a dozen people caught him just before the finish line

    As if!
