I'm that side... well Ash Green end of Bedworth... Sometimes run up to Prologis, or the other side down to the Ricoh...

Yeah... There's a running thread on the General Chat forum, a few off here do a bit....

1hr12 half marathon is indeed fantastic. But whoever above suggested he could go and do 1hr05 in a race... That is a huge jump and I very much doubt it. You don't knock off almost 30secs/mile overnight...

I've done the Coventry Way Race twice (well once I completed it, last year, and the year before had to retire after about 30 miles). Great route. The race starts at Meriden Queens Head in a clockwise direction. First weekend in April usually. I heard a rumour that this year it may have been...

My main suggestion if you're really serious, is to join a club... one of the other regulars on this thread recently joined Northbrook... i'm at Godiva Harriers... there's also Massey Ferguson and Sphinx in Cov…. as well as Nuneaton Harriers, Leamington AC, Kenilworth AC.... if you want any...

It's just a case of building up to it slowly... When things are normal I average around 40-45 mile weeks, with the odd sporadic "high" week if I'm on holiday or off work, etc. So the stamina is there. But you have to build to it slowly... I was fortunate to be quite fit when I started running...

I'm knocking up 70 mile weeks now working from home. Nothing to do but work and treadmill, and occasional road run. Trying to keep sharp, getting a club "session" sent to us once a week, and I'm generally doing them twice in a week. Be interested to see what it does to my Parkrun time. I...

I think it was Vale View.. Which I think is back end of Camp Hill. The friendly bloke who's house I parked outside, kindly informed me that he was going to smash my car up with his baseball bat if I didn't move it...

I turned up to a match in Nuneaton about 15 years ago and there was a burnt out car on the pitch, and sharp metal sticking up everywhere... The ref (who obviously wanted his subs) was keen to play the match and tried to get us all lifting it up and off the pitch. To be honest I was also keen...

Yes that wind was absolutely biting this morning... I went out in a vest, and although it was the right decision (I was sweating hard after 7.5 miles), the first 5minutes were bloody freezing!

I had similar playing against Jaguar... Came on as sub and quite innocently got legs tangled up with one of their strikers... He ran off, not before stamping on my foot, I "had words".... A bit of handbags and thought he was going to throw a punch. I was heavily involved in Muay Thai at the...

3 x 5 minute hard efforts, with 3 minute rests between each one, tonight. Efforts done at around 5km effort... If not quite same pace, due to two of the efforts being uphill. Good to get out on the roads after a week of treadmill training!

I've been planning a trip to Switzerland in the autumn.... And possibly an Italy trip too... Thought about booking now due to the liklihood of great deals, but I still think its a little risky, and I'll most likely wait until travel restrictions are lifted before I commit to booking...

Nice one, that's a decent time. I am looking forward to getting out and doing a Parkrun hopefully in the next month or two, although I suspect I'm a little off the 18:30 mark at the moment. Hopefully sub 19 though. Training is going well, I'll top 50 miles for the week by the time today is...

Player, and football in general, have a great life, and it would seem little to complain about. However ranting about them taking a pay cut is wrong in my opinion... Whether or not they pay full tax, creative accounting etc, I expect most Premier players pay more in tax (supposedly funding the...

We had a 30-40 man brawl.... Before kickoff.... With a team we weren't even playing... 4 teams, 2 (identical) pitches... Yet an argument broke out over who was using which pitch... All sounds pretty amusing, but unfortunately one of their lads ended up with a broken arm in the melee...

I played for a reasonable team, but we had our fair share of wreck heads.... One lad was living in a tent by the canal when we signed him up. Loved a session. To perk himself up before one game he took half a pill. Didn't even see the first goal fly into his top corner (he was keeper). I was...

I'm working from home now and picking up a treadmill tomorrow, so training twice a day then, and hopefully similar results to come! Personally I think exercise is essential.

You'd like to think so... However in the unlikely event we went as drastic as Spain/France, I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to go out running...

Still open at the moment... Considering getting a second hand treadmill if we get confined to houses though...
