Another way to look at it is in my living memory, Blues have never been a regular top flight team (whereas we were for a large chunk), yet they still have an average crowd above us.

Yes 400's are a good marker of where you are.... simple session, no need to over-complicate it. I didn't manage the 400mtr session on thursday, a combination of family-crisis, mum's 70th birthday, and a trip to London...... so did a hill session on treadmill instead. My scribbled records...

That isn't every BCFC fan though is it...... its like us getting the hump with Sunderland claiming that we're a city of total wankers due to an event in 1977 which we have no control over, and a few people throwing shit/piss around (which probably didn't actually happen)

We were on the grass at Warwick Uni last night... 8 x 1 minute reps with 3 minute recoveries. The 1 minutes were 30secs quality, 20secs harder, 10secs max. My increase from quality up to hard pace was at least vaguely visible... but from hard to max was barely noticeable even to me. 9.5...

No Strava for me.... strictly a pen and paper guy!! Probably the only person in Cov Godiva who doesn't use Strava....! Happy to expand on any routes on here or PM, or meet up for a run if wanted....

My apologies, of course its a sunday game isn't it....!

There are plenty of earlier trains to Leicester than 11am. If you're trying to do the entire trip from Coventry on the train then you're severely limiting your options...... you need to get to Nuneaton.

Issue with those directions for me is the path deteriorates the further you get away from Cov.... i remember trying to cycle along there to Rugby once which was a disaster, ended up chucking my bike on the train at Rugby to get back home. The towpath within Cov is pretty good although a bit...

15.5 miles at around 7:20/mile pace yesterday. Out from Bedworth, up Black Horse Rd and onto the Canal at The Greyhound. Steady down the canal, dodging Rats, Pigeons and Squirrels, saw me at the canal basin in 55mins. Through the centre, out past the station, down Spencer Ave into Earlsdon...

Yes it has improved massively..... but its still an identikit out-of-town stadium... If i was an away fan coming to Coventry, the one plus point would be the generally large allocation.... i'm not personally a fan of stadiums out-of-town. Its strange, i realised that i've now supported...

This is the issue for me. Will there ever be a time when the England team/manager gets an absolute panning in the media for a poor performance/result, as the men's team does. That would be a positive sign the game has developed in line with the men's..... but i don't see it ever reaching that...

Back to proper training last night. A track session on a very warm evening, 26deg as the session started. 10 x 300mtrs, with 100mtrs jog recoveries. My target set by the coach was 53secs, which i've (just about) managed earlier in the summer, although not quite being 100% recovered from...

You would not.... you do get prepared for unseasonable weather when racing on the fells.... but as mid-summer races go, it was a poor one for weather!

Raced in the English Fell Champs yesterday, in Weardale, Co Durham. A straight out thrash from the village up to the summit of the nearest mountain and back down. Although it wasn't quite as simple as it sounds... the weather was absolutely rancid all weekend, so along with absolutely zero...

I raced on the fells in South Wales on saturday. Weather forecast was shocking, 60-70mph winds, zero visibility, etc. In the event, whilst it was most unpleasant, very strong wind, heavy rain and hailstorms, it probably wasn't as bad as forecast. I thought i had a very good chance of winning...

You're starting to reach Sunderland levels of bitterness here tbf

Came on here to post this.... and also scarves tied round head...

I spectated the Northbrook 10km this morning. Was on Wall Hill Road about 2.5km in, and then back near the finish a short while later. Adrian from Northbrook (who i know well) set a cracking pace early on and had about 50 metres lead when i first saw him... but there was a solid group of...

I've always been one for singing for the team/club. But hero-worshipping individual players has never been one for me. They come and go.

I can't really get behind singing about individual players.... never have, never will. Nothing against those that do.... but it isn't for me.
