Bodies is good fun as a standalone song, whereas I wouldn't listen to the Queensryche song outside of the album. Enter Sandman is (for me) easily the best song Metallica ever made and one of the frontrunners of the competition. Gates of Babylon; it's not my favourite Rainbow track but it's...

I usually hate death metal but Amon Amarth is an exception and especially Twilight of the Thunder God. Blackbird is a completely mediocre song that doesn't deserve the worship it gets... but it's better than Pantera. I don't have strong opinions on either song in the third round, but I like...

Night of the Demon is great, but Crazy Train is Crazy Train - if Demon somehow wins that would surely be the biggest upset of the game so far.

The first half of Dark Souls is a masterclass in world and level design. I'm a huge fan of DS3 and ER too, but neither of them manage to come close to how well made everything pre-Anor Londo is, in my opinion.

I've voted for Painkiller (which is one of my favourite albums of all time), but I am largely ambivalent towards Metallica anyway, so I don't think I have any meaningful comparisons to draw between the two.

Probably my favourite of the three singles so far, and I've liked them all. Looking forward to the full album!

It is one of the bands best moments. I was sure they'd play the song live just for this.

The park is flooded at the minute (and has been very muddy for a while) so most of my long runs are just jogging to a nearby town and back alongside the road. :p

This is easier said than done; I can just about do a 5K in zone 2 (120-140 according to my garmin) if I drop my pace to nearly 8:00/km but even then I live on a hill and my heart rate is all over the place because of it.

158, which falls near the top end of Garmin's zone 3 (aerobic).

Parkrun was cancelled today, so I did a long run which I ended up extending to my first half marathon since February - 2:13:16, with a couple of minutes stoppage on top of that for traffic. I had signed up to Cambridge with a provisional time of 2:20:00 so I'm very happy!

I'm a simple man. I see a song from the 12 step suite, I vote against it. The worst stuff DT ever came out with.

I don't think Killers is a particularly strong album, but I will happily sit through any song from it whereas the only songs from The X Factor I wouldn't skip are Sign of the Cross, Judgement of Heaven and The Edge of Darkness.

No plan as of yet! I've got 8 or 9 weeks to work with and have been consistently doing 30km a week for a while with a peak distance of 15km in a single run. I put a time of 2:20 as a placeholder during signup, and my main goal is to finish as this is the race I injured myself in earlier this year.

I do some easy longer runs too (especially as I am transitioning into half marathon training for the next two months) - I basically just don't do intervals or speedwork.

This many different sets of shoes scares me! I only have one pair at a time (Mizuno WaveInspire 19 currently) and tend to just use them for every single run until they are worn out.

I thought AMOLAD was ranked far too high on the Survivor, let alone here. It's fine, with plenty of good moments but nothing truly exceptional which justifies the price of admission.

Some updates: - Running mileage has stayed around 30-35 km/week for a while now. Very busy workwise, so I just haven't had the time to increase it. - Parkrun times have improved a little; with a recent course PB of 25:47 yesterday (Down from ~26:20 last time I posted it here). My all time...

1) Dance of Death 2) The Book of Souls 3) Shadows of the Valley 4) The Talisman 5) Wasting Love
