Yeah trying to justify a takeover by Red Bull is bullshit. Would be me done with it i'm afraid.

I was up at the Rugby Sevens on saturday evening courtesy of a last-minute freebie from a friend. First off, the queuing was a complete shambles. Basically the entire crowd had to go through that temporary scanning area outside the casino, so the queue was right back round to the bridge by the...

If i were to rank all league clubs in terms of "size/stature/prestige" whatever you want to call it.... I'd have us probably about where we were last year... battling playoffs in the 2nd tier... although could make an argument for anywhere between lower reaches of top division, and middle of...

Sian Rainsley of Coventry Godiva Harriers came 12th in the Women's triathlon this afternoon. Kare, also of Cov Godiva, is competing in one of the wheelchair sprints over the weekend... she has a number of paralympic medals to her name already.

I would personally keep the ring-road. It is unique. "Strangling the city centre" is not something i necessarily agree with.... it defines it well, and given that city centres appear to be "dying" generally, i think there is plenty of current city centre space which could/should be revamped as...

I also said on their forum that i'd take a draw. ... play them 6-10 games in when they've been "softened up" a little and we are (hopefully) into our stride, and we are favourites... but opening game of season, they are going to be playing with no fear with a massive hostile crowd, there's no...

I ran in the English Fell Champs yesterday in the Northern Lake District. Was comfortably in the points positions (top 40 v40's) for most of the race, but fell apart spectacularly in the final hour. And crashed completely on the final descent and down the final mile of road back to the finish...

I remember back in the 80's there being a club shop in the Co-op on Corporation Street.

I think 9th-12th would again be an impressive finish, even with our strongest possible squad. Hope i'm proved wrong, but don't see us being strong enough to maintain a playoff charge (unless the miracle happens and we get another fantastic start to the season). (i don't necessarily blame the...

Track League yesterday on a very warm afternoon in Telford... First up for me was the 2km steeplechase, which i negotiated in a pb of 7:57.... not without its hairy moments though... i'd made an absolute hash on the barrier in the warmup which somewhat dented confidence, and although i got...

This is the issue with actually winning pre-season friendlies.... everyone needs to find something else to get apoplectic about....

i'm not worried if we sell him, as long as we can buy a replacement from the Women's leagues

Busy week... tuesday was a grass session, 1 x 3mins 2 x 2mins 3 x 1 mins 5 x 60mtrs Thursday was track session... 5 x 200mtrs 1 x 500mtrs 5 x 200mtrs Tomorrow is the Midlands Track League over at Telford, where i have the misfortune to be running in both the 2000mtr Steeplechase and the...

This is interesting.... I've got what i think is very mild shin splints at the moment, and have an appointment booked to look at it next week. However i've also got some mild bursitis in my elbow and have been prescribed anti-infammatories... which have had the secondary effect of making any...

Well its just opinion... Personally my mileage won't decrease during a taper, but i'll drop out the intense training a few days early, and replace with easy runs, then the day before perhaps do something like 3-5 miles very easy. Its very personal... a lot of my clubmates also find they get...

Obviously i don't know anything about your training history, so please feel free to ignore this comment.... but two weeks is an absolutely massive taper!!

Fell race yesterday on the "quiet" part of the Brecon Beacons, well away from the busy area of Pen Y Fan. Took a big gamble and tried to attack the pre-race favourite from the start, thinking my only chance to beat him would be to stick on him for the first hour and hope he blows up before me...

The clean air zone in Bham is fairly well signposted (imo) on the turnings off the ring-road into the zone. I expect the main issues are caused by people coming down the expressway and not realising, as here you don't have to physically turn into the zone to go inside it.

I'm not a great buyer of Cov kits... the only hummel one i'd picked up so far was the "birdshit" one which i picked up cheap at end of season.... but ordered that purple away one on first view, it looks gorgeous and hopefully is as good in the flesh. I'm sure it will be as the Hummel kits seem...
