Stenard is in London. He ain’t got no lawn 
My wife would not be impressed if I bought a pair. Esp if she knew how little mileage I would likely get from them. My trail shoes tend to sit at around a ton, and that’s enough for me. I can at least justify that in terms of hours and hours of running that I can get out of them.
Just make sure you don’t say no to the next time she wants to buy a dining chair, or chainsaw or whatever she’s into! Haha
Luckily we both put money into a joint account and go 50% for house stuff etc., then what’s left is our own and we (I) can spend it on whatever I like! Assuming there’s actual space left in the garage for another bike 
Although she doesn’t have a car and I ferry her about to places, luckily she works about half a mile from me so can have a lift most days.
TBF, she’ll probably retire before me though despite being younger 
No. of sub-59:15 half marathons since 2015 by year: 2 / 2 / 5 / 8 / 13. Interesting reflection on progression over past two years.

Nothing to manage. I’m always surprised at the amount of hiding/begging/grovelling folks on here have to do when it comes to buying stuff or applying for a ‘pass out’.
When you chose your spouses did you think, ‘hmm who do I want to spend the rest of my life that will give me the hardest time possible?’ 
I don’t chop and change gear much. I try and buy quality, ride/wear the shit out of it and when something needs replacing I say to Mrs FP, ‘I’m going to buy this, it will arrive on x day, will you be in to receive it?’
and she says ‘Yes’.
Then we discuss what’s for dinner. 
Fibonacci sequence!
What are thoughts on Zoom Pegasus 36, they are 60% in my local sports shop, was thinking about a pair for training
Not used them myself but have just bought a pair of the trail version that should be delivered today/tomorrow… Going on holiday in a couple of weeks where we will do a lot of walking around - these seemed to fit the bill as i can then use them for running whilst away as well without having to carry two pairs of trainers round.
60%? That’s awesome - are you sure they’re not the 35 version? I was looking a lot over the past few days (though admittedly in the US) and couldn’t get anything like this kind of discount even with BF/CM offers
I just received my birthday discount code from Nike…it makes the NEXT a more tolerable option as long as they have my size in.
Too right!
We’ve been trying to decide what colour to paint the back wall in our lounge room. We’ve got all sorts of test patches on there and it looks like a kid high on sugar has found the paint cupboard.
Can’t imagine why I suddenly thought of that…?
Forget these leaderboard & yearly training total threads. I want to see a list of what some you have spent on Nike shoes in the last 12 months. I betting some of you will be grimacing if you add it up.
I will play, and say I have bought 2 pairs (ZF FK & VF4%) which I expect to last well into next year for the ZFs and the VFs will last all next year too. £256.
Time to 'fess up.
Absolutely zero.
Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit
£55.58
one full price zoom fly
Blue bargain £55 zoom fly
Another pair of blue zoom fly for the wife
4% at £102
So yeah just over £300 
Why would you ask such a question!
It started for me with the original VF FK 4% pair I bought in the 30% off storewide black friday sale last year. I think that might have been what started the thread on TT1.0? They were my first pair of Nike runners ever. Since then, well…
Nov '18 - black friday VF FK 4% - £146.96 (200km on these)
Apr '19 - discounted VF FK 4% - £167.96 (when I thought they were being discontinued after the release of NEXT% - still new in box)
May '19 - outlet store ZF SP - £52.50 (70km on these - mainly used for club track)
Jul '19 - discounted ZF FK - £55.58 (already retired with >660km on them)
Jul '19 - nearly new ebay VF FK 4% - £65.48 (in my size, so why not. Used these at the 70.3 Worlds)
Oct '19 - Poet’s discount code for VF NEXT% - £215.95 (55km on these)
Oct '19 - second pair of discounted ZF FK £55.57 (already have 125km on these)
So a total of precisely £760. Bugger me! 
Then again, I’ve not really bought anything else this year. No major bike purchase. No new wetsuit, or anything like that, so in the grand scheme of things, probably a light year in terms of equipment purchases! And it kind of makes sense in a heavy year of running, as per the 2019 annual stats thread.
Ha ha ha - pales into insignificance to other spending
4% @ £210
4% @ £176
Blue fly knits @ £56
Zoom Fly SP @ £38
My Zoom structure are over a year old.
Total £480.
About a tenth of the price of a medium Chanel Boy bag.
In the summer - Blue FlyKnits @ £55 - My favourites.
Last week - Structure 21 @ £51 - These might go back.
Last week - Pegasus 35 @ £51 - Not tried them yet other than walking around London.
Early next year will get some Next% for marathon
