    Running

    Raced in the oldest fell race in Wales yesterday, on it's 60th anniversary. 18th/118..... 30mins16secs 2 miles up to the summit of the mountain, and two miles straight back down again. A measure of the contrast of the two halves of the race... the two miles up took me 19:26, and the two...

    Item Coventry Blitz

    Whilst this is completely understandable from their generation, it is something i struggle to understand from people my age (late 30's) who claim to "hate" Germany.... i'm not talking about some scum-bag either.... a friend with a distinctly middle-class background, brought up in a great...

    Will you please build?

    The Oracle has spoken... perhaps you should contact SISU/CCFC/UOW direct with your opinion, i'm sure that will save them a lot of wasted time...

    Messi leaving Barca

    This notion that the Premier League is the best in the world is really dated, and generally shows the ignorance of English football fans (not picking specifically on anybody here)... Spanish league "only two teams are any good".... Yes European games are a cup and a lottery, but English clubs...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    They seem to be getting results on the pitch though... two crunch matches coming up against the teams immediately below them, which look like they will either see them secure in the top 4 (Europe?), or mid-table obscurity...

    Running

    It's purely personal preference... i personally won't use any more than water on anything up to about 4hrs, and then i'd use something like Brown Kendal Mint Cake rather than a gel... if it's getting on for over 6hrs then i'd take proper food high in calories for little weight... Pork Pie...

    Running

    That is good running on those 800 reps... i would be working hard to hit 3:30 pace.... 3:20 no chance for 8 reps! Yes diet is a real minefield. You will certainly feel like you need more food if you have upped the miles. It's not really an issue as long as you put in enough fuel to allow you...

    I'm not on twitter (thankfully it seems!) but this whole episode seems a bit sad from all points of view... - why some no-mark thinks anyone cares about his views on a footballer that most people across the UK will have never heard of... - the fact it seems the Telegraph think it's worthy of a...

    Running

    Raced on the fells this morning at Llangollen... 17 miles/3000ft. 12th/125 2:30:28........... had a target of 2:30 but this was scuppered when we had to do a lap of the football pitch in the final field before we crossed the line! Although it does show that times really go out of the window...

    CCFC 20/21 fixtures released tomorrow

    I think we have a fairly generous ending to the season. Late October and through November look horrible though!

    Nationalism

    I generally agree with everything said in the above posts... it's never challenged. However my understanding of the Scottish Independence/Brexit issue, is that they "want" to be independent from us so that they can then stay in the EU as a single nation.... * * This may well be complete...

    This is a sorry sight

    Aside from the issue of being "out of town", it would seem a pretty good site for a football stadium. (discussion probably been done many times before). But would seem to be a place that needs refurb, and a nod to the sporting heritage of the city, seems as good a location as the UOW (or indeed...

    Match Thread Swindon Town Friendly

    As expected, it took one mediocre pre-season friendly to send the board into a full meltdown.

    Running

    On the track at Pingles this morning. 11 x 400mtrs with 90secs rest. Still a little heavy-legged from last weekend, but managed to keep the reps consistent at 79-81 seconds, so a good session in humid conditions.

    Inter Milan and Conte

    Atlanta and Lazio are same level as Inter Milan. But i also think the main challenge is likely to come from Inter, i think they have the potential to be consistent enough. Lazio always got calamity potential, and Atlalanta (my team) play stunning football but usually at the expense of...

    Championship finishing table 20/21 - Average Odds

    We've got to hope that we can do better than Wycombe (that is absolutely no disrespect to them, they are probably better set out for a "battle", but hopefully our style of football will suit in this division). And there's always one team who have a stinker (Blues, Sheff Weds, Barnsley, Luton?)...
