    Track session with Godiva last night. 3 x (1km, 200mtr jog, 200mtrs) Target for the km's was 3:15, and for the 200mtrs was 33secs. Having never ran quicker than 3:18 before on a km rep, i was somewhat sceptical that i could hit these targets, but gave it my best shot.... km's 3:18 3:19 3:21...

    Coventry Telegraph Reporting

    This is very true. I have a close relative who has recently left the company. They are very good on a personal level, but the overseeing group (Mirror) slice the budget almost yearly, there aren't enough staff and those there are, are massively overworked, constant threat of redundancy, *all...

    Running

    Training with Godiva last night, and our group was on the grass doing 5 x 90secs, followed by 5 x 60mtr sprints. Quite enjoy these speedwork sessions on the grass, a chance to work hard, but away from the "pressure" of being timed on the track for every rep. I did however sneak a look at my...

    Running

    I raced a couple of weeks ago at the Holyhead Mountain fell race on Anglesey. Was a bit of a tester to see where my fitness is at the moment.... after running the inter-counties and tearing my calf, then running the English Champs the following weekend with said torn calf.... i then obviously...

    Saudi Arabian League

    On one hand, it does go against the very grain to see somewhere like Saudi Arabia trying to buy their way into acceptable society via sport... On the other hand.... The Premier League and UEFA have let big money and big clubs dictate the game for years... if they get outgunned by a region...

    Running

    Sphinx have some good runners, and if they turned out for the club regularly in the Cross Country league, road relays, etc, they could punch far higher than their usual level.... but for whatever reason they don't seem to get their best runners out regularly.... Although that's the perennial...

    Running

    I'm with Coventry Godiva Harriers. In the 60's and 70's they were the top club in the country bar none. And right through to early 00's were a force on the national scene. But at present better described as a "sleeping giant"...... still compete at national level, and probably top 5 or 6 in...

    Running

    Yes it is quick.... although its regional champs (the Northerns and Southerns were on as well this weekend in their respective areas), so in theory only a step down from national level. My two clubmates ran 4:04 and 4:06 (both of which are insanely fast to me.... my 1500 pb is 4:45....! The...

    Running

    I went down to Pingles Stadium yesterday to spectate at the midlands track & field championships. Fortunately i was spared having to race in the 1500mtrs due to injury.... even a pb for me would have seen me comfortably at the back of the field. Winning time well under 4 minutes...

    Running

    I'd agree with that. I don't think its necessary unless you clearly have recurring injury issues. Just do a bit of online research and buy the best pair within your budget.

    We'll only get 30k for Leeds and Leicester if we're doing at least as well as this season.

    You should head for your nearest Nike Factory outlet.... there's one at resorts world, one at the M1 nr Mansfield.... i'm sure plenty of others around. I'd imagine they're in stock at Cov Runner on Burnaby Rd, although likely the current model and expensive. As Dawlish says, Pegasus are just...

    Consolidation

    Let down by making the playoff finals then losing on sudden death penalties?!? What a bunch of let-downs, might as well fold the club....

    Breaking News!

    I don't think football is for you to be honest. Certainly not following CCFC. Some absolute clown views coming out.

    Breaking News!

    BUllshit. He missed a pen in a highly-tense situation. If it gets to pens then you accept its a complete fucking lottery. Doesn't matter how angry it makes you (and i was devastated), it doesn't change that fact.

    Probably doesn't need me to repeat it, but this is an absolutely awful opinion. Prefer you to fuck off from the club to be quite honest. Idiot.

    Play off final ratings

    Another laughable thread.... if we'd scored a couple more pens it would've been "everybody 10/10" regardless of how anyone played. Luton are an awful team to play against and stifled us brilliantly... that said we changed it up 2nd half, and our goal was the one real moment of quality in the...
