Never said it was ok. Already made my views pretty clear in my two posts above, and I don’t feel the need to expand on my viewpoint... Certainly not right that foul language and abuse is thrown around like confetti at grounds... but I don’t find calling a grown man “gay boy” in the same...

My point being that they weren’t setting out with the specific aim of “discriminating” against the guy in the pink... it was, (in their eyes only), humour.... as was the crap song against Bob the Builder or whoever he was... If they’d sung “who’s the ginger/slaphead/fatty in the pink....”...

My two penneth, for what it’s worth... Was it offensive...? not really, it’s just a pretty crap thing to chant all round really. I put it in the same category as people singing “Bob the Builder, What a Wanker” at that mascot thing at Cambridge United... I.e it’s basically sung by thickos, and...

Hope you had a go at Bedworth... My local! Three laps, two with short sections off concrete. A much smaller turnout than Cov, but being a three lap course, you can still get caught up in back-markers through the enclosed section.

No Cov Parkrun today...

Whilst I understand the point you're making, I don't entirely agree with it. A couple of examples involving myself to varying degrees... 1) Villa away when we got relegated. At the age of 18/19 I exited the ground in a furious mood, and got involved in one or two arguments... ended up taking...

Thank you. As I say, knocked out 20 miles at the weekend, at a fairly constant 3:24 marathon pace, although that was just going out and starting without a warmup or anything... and wearing a rucksack with a litre of water in it... oh yeah and (getting all my excuses in here) wearing very...

Well I’m actually doing the Snowdonia Marathon in October which has something over 3000ft of climbing, and part of it is off road. I think it has equivalent flat mileage of 29.3 miles. Given that, and it’s my first ever “road” race over 10km, I’m hoping to hit around 3 and a half hours. If I...

If you’re are new to “racing” I’d heartily recommend just finding your best constant pace that you can manage... and if you feel good, then give it some hammer in the last few miles. Wouldn’t recommend any tactical running at this stage. Main improvements are made in training, and race tactics...

Effectively it’s quoting for projects/work.

There are various apps, I don’t use them myself, but I’m sure you could google them.... strava, etc. Various types of gps watches which measure distance, averse speed etc. Or good old knowing your approx pace per mile and working it out in your head (not quite as accurate unless you’re...

Have also had this in reverse. When I first started work as a Building Services Engineer/Contracts Engineer, most of my mates thought I was a plumber who had given myself a flash title to make it sound better. Also worked for a couple of major oil/petrol companies, who have storage terminals in...

I do remember or female ref (or more likely a lino) at Highfield Road in the late 90's or very early 2000's, getting tremendous abuse from the crowd (mind you, she was awful).

I applied for a job a couple of years back with the impressive title of National Estimating Manager. Suffice to say, neither the salary, nor the responsibilities of the role, were in any way related to the impressiveness of the title.

Bring back GMK

You’re brave knocking out two interval sessions on consecutive days... With the speed you can go. You don’t need anyone here giving advice, but I wouldn’t go mad with the harsh sessions... I’d usually only do two a week, one if I’m racing...

This thread is a prime example of why I barely post or log in anymore, or stick to the running thread. Bring back GMK... and to think GMK was widely lambasted by the vast majority on here for being 'SISU apologists.....!" Where have they all gone?!?

Yes it sounds pretty strenuous. But i'm told by some of the experienced marathon guys at Godiva (of which there are many) that this is a very good way to keep your marathon training relatively intense and interesting.

Decent. My pb is 18:34 (Bedworth) but I've also not been able to get under 18:40 yet at Cov. I'm planning a few Cov parkruns during august as part of marathon training. Either a 6 or 9 mile run to the memorial park, depending on the route I take, knock out a reasonable parkrun (certainly not pb...

It's also the 'fans' (I use that term very loosely, in that I generally mean the Sky Sports fans). For every facebook post etc about Bury, Bolton, etc, there's a Man Utd armchair fan suggesting that "it's their own fault, they should have managed themselves better", whilst crying about only...
