Travelling to a run

Gear
21

He needs to travel to town and while there, run/train. In winter, walking around after in wet clothes is grim. He needs to change into something warmer while he gets food and a pint. The question is, how does he carry/store the spare clothes?

No idea what the middle bit of thread is all about.

Who said anything about town?

He’s getting a train somewhere.
Then running somewhere.
Midweek and a weekend.
Then goes to the pub.
For ages. Many hours.
Then gets a train home.

Nothing about running from the pub to a train.
So the run here seems like it’s circular, not point to point.

Which begs the question; why not just run from home?

Why would you want to sit in a pub all crusty and grim after an “AW” long run?

so many questions

I did. There’s very few luggage storage lockers in a field :wink:

Because there’s no trains or pubs in his garden?

Busy pub, by smelling badly, it ensures you have plenty of space around you!

Maybe he runs with other people at the mysterious location. Whom he may or may not then go to the pub with

In some pubs it’s almost a requirement to smell badly.

Pub food isn’t great for hypertension.
I’d just do the run and drop the pub.
Which negates all of this thread, plus goes some way to solving the hypertension, too :white_check_mark:

Plus, if the pub is a ‘Spoons, that’s gonna massively elevate BP, as you’ll overhear some ripe opinions trotted out as #ScienceFacts :joy::face_with_peeking_eye:

Also, train stations and lack of lockers…
…might have something to do with a certain dissident Irish Republican group? Not sure like :bomb::boom:

But the pub may simply be a venue for some other sort of transaction - nefarious or otherwise.

You’re all thinking too linearly here. Don’t get wrapped up in the pub. Think more esoterically.

He lives inside the M25; not outer Mongolia.

A lot of time could have been saved, if he just asked for lightweight ‘sports casual’ clothing recommendations. Which I think is the request?

Primaloft jkt.
Merino blend top.
Walking trs.
Microfibre sports towel.
Sorted.

Can I lock the thread now? :slightly_smiling_face:

He’s deffo doing Secret Organisation work.
For The Man

It probably involves weird handshakes.
Although I’m pretty sure those halls have showers?

Mine are pretty regular. 8am ish and 2pm ish. Although can keep the turtle from the beach until 5pm if we’re out and about :poop:

This thread is testament to how so much time is wasted in organisations.

  • Public transport into town.
  • Exercise.
  • Change.
  • Pub/Restaurant.
  • Public transport home.
  • Need suitable lighweight kit & logistic recommendations.
  • TIA.

No. It isn’t.

Time is wasted in organisations due to capitalism.
And Parkinson’s Law.

Possibly. Let’s spend ages discussing this :grin:

In my ‘world’ it’s a great example though; where the ‘Requirement’ is not well articulated. Costs the taxpayer billions.

But the OP didn’t say this.
They simply mentioned “train to start”

Somebody somewhere has assumed this to be “town” now all the Sheeple are bleating it :sheep::ram:

Requirements are never articulated well.
It’s not unique to public service.
Or work.

Just give me 4 pints of water and a teatowel. We’ll get to the bottom of this.

It’s important to hydrate after exercise for people with hypertension. And they tend to sweat more.

So that’s a really thoughtful suggestion

Perhaps he also looks for lost sub’s whilst doing funny handshakes, or is that a different esoteric thing :wink:

I think a possible subtext here, in answering the “why”… is serepticous training.

‘Oh I have to pop into work/town for something’
