Yeah i'd just run steadily for as many weeks as you can bear it it, before setting any goals re speed/time. It will be of massive benefit in the long run (sorry for the pun). I always say, until someone is capable of running say 4 times a week for a fair distance (say 10km), you will gain more...

Raced in the British Fell Champs today up on the North Pennines. It is usally a 4 race series, over varying race distances, but due to covid this year was a one-off, winner takes all race. Finished 95th which i was very pleased with, having never finished in the top 150 before in an...

I'm on a music forum, actually the forum closed and the regular posters moved onto a Discord server. Some of the content is well over the line, and there are regular flare-ups between members.... one of the rules is you have to have posted a photo of yourself... if you're going to chuck it...

I think we also lost to someone early last season on Sky, was it Swansea/Cardiff/Middlesborough, to a late goal?

Club session at Godiva last night, 12 x 400mtrs on the track, with 75secs rest. Generally kept them at 78-80secs (3:15-3:20/km pace). Also did an extra 13th rep wearing my mate's Nike carbon springy plate shoes, which are absolutely ridiculous, i can see why people run faster times in them, and...

Yeah i can barely recall a game in the last decade where i've not been able to stand, home, away or neutral, UK or abroad. There's always somewhere. Actually, that Man City vs Chelsea Charity Shield at Villa Park, i was front row of upper tier and had to sit (2012...?)

Looks a decent enough course. I'm familiar with most of it as when i do track sessions at Pingles i do a fair part of that circuit as a warm-up.

Entered the Nueaton 10km a fortnight today. Anyone done it before, know the route? Flat?

Bedworth Parkrun this morning 18:40 Had planned to go over to Warwick Racecourse which in my opinion should be much quicker (anyone who's done Bedworth will know there's a number of tight corners and steep hill sections which really break up any rhythm).... but sadly didn't have enough time...

You don't have to religiously attend training sessions when you join a club. I often go months without seeing people from my own club at sessions. Indeed my "first" club is Godiva yet i now live in the Lake District. Benefit of club membership is it registers you with EA/UKA, which is often a...

Brilliant run. Do you run for a club?

That's a fair session... i was doing similar before i moved up to Lakes, on the track at Nuneaton... Longer sessions, 10/12km/etc trying to keep below 4:00/km pace. It does give you confidence when you find yourself running something like 39mins for 10km on a non-flat-out training run. And...

I'd take 4pts from next 3 games, all day long.

Club night with Godiva... 25 minute cross-country effort. 7 miles in total, on top of 7 miles in the morning, made for a solid day. Debating a parkrun tomorrow, possibly Bedworth or Warwick Racecourse.

6 weeks gives you a bit of time to increase your base. As you suggest, get as much regular running in as possible (without going mental, overdoing it and getting injured) If it was 2-3 weeks i'd say just concentrate on doing a few good sessions to sharpen you up, and concentrate on getting to...

Club session with Godiva tonight. 5 x 1km with 90secs rest... 3:22 3:21 3:20 3:24 3:25 The final two being an absolute ordeal. Whilst the club fell training i do up in the Lakes is incredibly tough and sometimes very intense, they just can't match the intensity of the flat sessions compared...

Wasn't it WestHull Tiger, and we took 299 there....? He went on about it for months, if not years :D

I think it's more likely that both Nice and Montpellier are local derbies. Such is the hostility in France that its only recently that away fans have been let back in to derbies. (i'm not entirely sure but the real grudge games such as Lyon v St Etienne, and PSG v Marseille, may still have that...

There's so much more going on as well, other than Payet and the bottle throwing... the Marseille player whacking the ball point-blank into the crowd... the Marseille member of staff lamping the Nice fan (although really it was only a heavy shove in the chest/shoulder).

That wasn't a steward, it was a member of the Marseille playing/coaching/bench staff.
