    Went out training with potential new club up in here Cumbria (the plan being i'll continue to run for Coventry Godiva on the Cross-Country/Track/etc), but train and race for these guys on the fells. Gorgeous evening on the Pennines for a 9 mile run out. Standard was high.... i was perhaps 5th...

    Mark and Adi how high can they go?

    In our current set-up as a club, we could potentially fluke a promotion via the playoffs. I don't mean that to sound disrespectful to the fine job MR and AV have done, but i think our realistic ceiling at the moment is fighting for playoffs, and i think that would be a few years away.

    Running

    10 mins at 3:30 is decent. Especially for reps. That pace would get you 10:30 for a 3000mtr track race. I returned to fell racing yesterday after 9 months away. 9 miles 3000ft. 1hr48, 2mins down on 2019, but given the long layoff I'm not too disheartened, legs just didn't have that top gear in...

    Stadiums

    Those slating the San Siro really need to see it on a matchday. Milan beating Juve in front of 78000 under the floodlights is the best experience i've had in a football ground.... even knocked the Rome Derby off top spot. Stunning. In South America i really like the look of the huge one in...

    Well Done Leicester

    I for one am glad they won, and would sooner they (or even Villa at a stretch) take any limelight possible from the so-called "big 6"

    Club night tonight. 12 x Hill reps of approx 250 mtrs. 9 miles in total, and 4 this morning, so a solid day.

    Running

    My mileage has reduced last couple of weeks... 46 and 50 miles... Combination of moving house and the resumption of strength work, has made things less consistent. Hoping to ramp things back up again this week, although moving to Lake District next weekend, then next race is a week on Wednesday.

    Thank you SISU

    I'd argue that we'd have at least sunk to League 1 (and perhaps even League 2) regardless of who owned us, due to the awful state we were in. SISU carry the can (rightly or wrongly, depending on your stance) for those years as they were owners, so i'm happy to say that they're doing a good job...

    Best feeling ever?

    1-0 at Villa 3-2 vs Manchester United Last ever game at Highfield Road 2-0 Mifsud at Old Trafford In that order. Was only 5 at the time of Cup Final, and as good as certain moments in the last few years have been, for me they don't quite compare to the above.

    Match Thread Barnsley (H)

    Well they aren't are they. They are in the playoffs and we're about 18th. Just like we weren't "relegated" and "bottle jobs" because we didn't beat Wycombe. Just like we're not the new Brazil 1970 if we win today.

    Club night last night. 4 x 200mtrs, 3 x 1 mile, 4 x 200mtrs Unfortunately i was still absolutely battered from sunday's race, not to mention the reopening of gyms on monday! So took the whole session very relaxed. 200mtr reps were just used as a good stretch out, and ran the miles at about...

    Running

    Raced at Pingles in the 1500mtrs today. Was 2nd in my heat, in what i can only imagine was a good race for the spectators... myself and a young lad from Bromsgrove&Redditch breaking clear in the middle stages, then swapping the lead multiple times on the final lap, before he pipped me by a...

    Article about 2020/2021 home shirt

    Probably an unpopular view, but I thought the 2-tone kit was nothing special.... But if it had been a black/white version of last seasons striped kits it would have been fantastic.

    Running

    Brilliant time... but as you well know, knocking time off gets harder as you get quicker. 163secs sounds like a small amount, but it's still 12secs/mile. Although i'd imagine race conditions have the potential to make up the majority of those seconds.
