Fair play to you. Just be wary of over-restricting the calories. Trust me, i've "made weight" for several fights... trying to function as a human, never mind train, is incredibly tough if you don't put a reasonable amount of fuel in... ultimately it was that mental strain which is why i...

Is the original poster (Kieran) still posting on here? i read the first few pages, then it started going on about 72hr fasts, etc... Kieran my advice is find something you can stick to that is sustainable, and you unfortunately then have to see it as a permanent change, rather than a "diet"...

The Athletics Track (which holds various athletics competition, as well as being used as a "base" for international squads when the Olympics/Commonwealth/etc comes to the UK..... it does actually have a footballl pitch in the middle (although that's pretty irrelavant, if it's got room for a...

I'm not saying they should ignore it (obviously).... just stating a fact... no more, no less.

To be 100% fair to the Cov Tel on this occasion, there's a lot going on there and within the Trinity Group... sadly for us, the CCFC/Wasps situation is not necessarily number one priority at the moment.

I race against a number of very strong university teams in athletics. I would say that (in athletics anyway) Birmingham Uni are as strong as Loughborough, and likely to surpass them (in terms of performance, if not official status). Warwick are still a way behind.

If you're after an arrow-straight 2 mile run that is a bit flatter (it's definitely slightly downhill but it's barely noticeable, but i guess still helps you along), the "Greenway" path from the road at Burton Green, heading in the direction of Kenilworth... (i think it's an old disused...

Bedworth Parkrun... A few basic facts... compared to Cov there's probably only 200-250 runners rather than 500-700... however it's three laps instead of two, so you still encounter "traffic". At the front end, the standard is not quite as high. Sometimes you get the odd 16 minuter turn up...

I also had a weigh in yesterday and was 79.1kg... Which is lowest I've been since my last fight in 2015 (78kg). Was 81kg before lockdown. Will be interesting to see whether it's the increased mileage that has lowered it, or loss of strength/muscle from no gym. Guess I'll find out when the...

4 x 1250mtr reps (1st lap of Bedworth Parkrun course), with decreasing rest periods between each one. Managed to keep them consistent at about 18:20/5km pace. Learnt the value of my GPS watch today... was ready to jack it in after 3 reps as i was utterly bollocksed. However my watch showed me...

Track session tonight... 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400 Was rather optimistically hoping to run it all at around 5:45-5:50/mile pace... however it was all i could do to run it at 6min/mile pace. To be fair, it was pissing down and windy, and i was still heavy legged from last sunday...

I think how we deal with heat is very individual, and I don't think there's a set answer. I think perhaps you just need to take time to adjust and get used to running in that heat. When I was training in Thailand we were basically told that if we ever wanted to get used to working hard in the...

Yes fartlek is (I think) random fast/slow sections in a run. I stretch after the majority of my runs (never before though). Seems to keep me going. With regards to any tightness, if it's just that, and not strain/injury, you've got two fairly obvious choices... run through it or back off a...

In comparison the general public, and even other runners, yes it might be "decent". But there's always people better. I look in wonder at the guy in my club who ran for his country in the Olympics. Last summer I watched him run a sub 4minute 1500mtrs... 20mins later he ran in the 5000mtrs and...

Sounds like a reasonable theory... I'm the opposite... it's usually my legs give out before my lungs... my limiting factor seems to be getting the physical speed into my legs and sustaining that effort. Seem to have good endurance in my legs, due to the fell running... but relatively poor...

I'm not a great one for scientific terms etc, so probably not the best person to ask re VO2 max. But we have been given some 30:30 club sessions to do since the lockdown. In fact this week's club session was... 10 x 30/30 10 x 1min/1min 10 x 30/30 Although I gave it a miss as I had a track...

Leicester's Bentleys Roof board is still very active, and i think were part of the rivals network (now seem to be part of the Fans Online network, which the West Terrace board was/is still clinging onto life on...) They talk often of the GMK days, and i know they used to have regular meetups...

Agree with whoever said Carlton Palmer above... always thought he was a donkey... (i think that was just the reputation that followed him). But he was very good.

I quoted "teapot" from a thread above mine... i may just as well have used "phillips screwdriver" which was in a similar quote. By all means people can refer to gender how they wish... i wasn't casting aspersions on that... i was responding to a post which seemed in my eyes to suggest that...

This isn't really the place to argue this one out... but this is plainly bollocks (excuse the pun). Describe yourself how you like, but you are biologically (if not mentally) born as a male or female. We are after all animals, and the vast majority of animals, and unless i'm mistaken, all...
