Its 2016 pretty much every phone is a smartphone . <| sep |> I ' m hardly one to speak similar marathon , about ~ 5 minute faster official half , 10 if you count training runs and I ' ve been averaging ~ 35 mpw this year but my 5 k time has gone from 23 min 2035 since I started doing quality work . Lifting is good but doing actual tempos and 200400800 s to get comfortable running at faster paces has really helped me . There are lots of proven plans , choose one and try it out . <| sep |> The government isn ' t spending money on infrastructure and investment , they are borrowing it to pay the bills . There ' s a huge difference . One is good when done properly , the other is just plain awful . You do realise this is pretty much what I said several posts up ? Yes correct if you spend the money on income generating assets or building income generating assets then you may well turn your 1000 into 1500 . Or assets to reduce your long term costs . The problem is the UK government and the UK people haven ' t been doing this . The government have been using the borrowed money simply to pay the bills or buy white elephants . While the public have been spending it on houses , bells and whistles . Houses don ' t generate income . They generate liabilities . A rented out house still generates liabilities . Merely the responsibility has been shifted onto somebody else to pay for them .
