    Yeah its a good setup down there. I did the Mile last new year. the Podium races are even better IMO...... with the Podium Festival in Leicester in the spring being the best.

    I've had one or two issues with my achilles and calf, so elected not to go to Cardiff for the 5km..... Had the race been in Coventry i'd have probably risked it.... but Cardiff is a long way to go when not feeling fully fit. Have had a serious look at my training, and pulled some of the...

    I'm up to the Lakes the following weekend for the Lake District Mountain Trial. You don't actually know where you're going until after you start, when you recieve your map with some numbered checkpoints to reach in order. I'm doing the short course, so all i know is the start location, and...

    Stadium update

    i Have to confess i have never been a fan of the Ricoh...... was always in the "should never have left Highfield Road" camp. But i started following City (in person) in 92....... so we've actually been at the Ricoh longer than Highfield Rd for me..... So can accept it is home for a huge...

    Match Thread Derby County - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 16th Aug

    I haven't read any of this thread (probably a blessing)....... and i watched it on TV I thought that up until 3-3 it was a really poor game (its strange to say for a game with 8 goals in it). It seemed like a classic CCFC game that we had ample opportunities to win, but looked like we were...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Aug

    I watched it on telly. Thought the first half was decent..... although this is possibly because Hull at least vaguely attempted to make a game of it, which suited us. 2nd half..... could see the pattern from about 50-55mins in...... Hull had decided they were happy with a draw, and it was a...

    Tough training session last night. 9 x 400mtrs on the track. Rest periods starting at 2mins and decreasing by 15secs each time. Mathematicians will note that this means the final rest period between reps 8 & 9 is only 15 seconds. This is a brutal one. I aimed to start out around 76secs and...

    Leicester points deduction

    To be fair, whilst our long-term future is probably looking a little more rosy than Leicester...... they've (on the face of it) got a much higher chance than us of getting promoted this season.

    I was supposed to be running another track 10,000m tomorrow night at Nuneaton...... but yesterday's visit to the physio has put paid to that, and i need to lay off the hard running this week to let my hamstrings recover.

    Running

    Yeah i was lapped 3 times by the winner who ran 32:40........ was also lapped twice by a clubmate and training partner who ran 34:00 (suspect i'll be hearing a lot about this tonight at training!!) However i also lapped a couple of guys several times who were well outside 40mins.

    Ran 38:18 in the 10,000 metres at Nuneaton on the track last night. On the face of it, a poor time. But that distance on the track really is a grim undertaking...... i was cut adrift from the lead pack almost immediately, and there was a guy on my shoulder for 5 or 6 laps, but he was...

    Running

    Not entirely sure. Knowledgeable people within the club have said i should be capable of running under 36mins on a good day.... and while i'm not quite so optimistic, i think i'm capable of breaking 37mins on a good day. Although the combination of..... - race is on the track - not...
