Indeed. We had to take a ski-lift down from the summit to a ski-resort on the other side of the mountain.... Despite running a lot in steep and high places (i've ran across the top of Crib Goch for example), i'm not particularly comfortable with man-made heights as i get older.... so i...

Went there in 98 (in fact the week after we beat Villa away in the cup) Looked a grand place even then.

It was looking shabby pre-Wasps.

Back from the Pyrenees and the World Masters Mountain Running. Arrived a my accommodation on the French side of the border, to discover that there had been huge storms and flooding the weekend before, and the main road to Spain via the Col Du Somport Tunnel had been washed away, and would be...

Nice one. I'm heading off to the airport in an hour or so..... long day of travelling ahead.... Tomorrow and wednesday plan to do a bit of walking out in the mountains, then a couple of easy evening runs up in the ski resorts at altitude. Thursday recce the course. Friday race.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes. I think with mileage, the number/total is far less important than the consistency..... you apparently need 10 years of consistent training to build your "aerobic house" and reach your best potential, and (within reason) that is regardless of age...

And we are competing at the top end of the championship, as we have been playoff contenders the past two seasons. A slightly downbeat start to the season doesn't change that...... the reaction to our poor start this year is even more ludicrous when you look back at the past couple of years...

People think we have a god-given right to improve year-upon-year. Its simply not possible for the vast majority of sides. Same in the Premier Leauge..... how many sides think being outside the top 4-6 is unacceptable, and will ultimately sack their manager at some point...... probably about...

My (amateur) view.... You're probably going to feel a more general fatigue so benefits will not be immediately apparent. However you should find you perform better and hold your pace for longer when you do races (or harder sessions). It also becomes like an ever-improving spiral...

Last speedwork session prior to flying out to Pyrenees on monday. 1 x 1km, 5 x 200mtrs, on the track. km went in 3:25..... pretty poor, i can do 3km at that pace on a good day. It was pretty windy though. 200mtrs are definitely not my forte, and i had to run them round the back straight...

In other news, Chelsea sell their Hotel to their sister company for over £70m to remain within "Financial Fair Play" rules.

This sums my above point up for me. They are no different as a fanbase to us (save for the good times they've had in the last decade). Similar sized club, similar roots, similar fanbase. Rivalry aside, they are neither "horrendous" nor "disgusting"..... I see it on other forums as well...

But not with the same level of vitriol as Leicester..... who have got away on a technicality..... Forest have outright taken the punishment and got away with cheating, proving that it was justified.... that is a terrible situation for the game to be in.

A lot of the outrage on here (and i'm not saying it isn't partially justified), is simply because its Leicester. Nobody would give a toss if it was anyone else..... there's not been much gnashing of teeth about Forest who (i assume) recieved a points deduction as they were found guilty, yet...

More proof if needed that football fans will say anything to justify anything they or their club do.....

Last week i did 3 x 1 mile at Godiva (although it was a solo session as club night was cancelled) 5:32 5:27 5:24 Hoped for a bit better, but not bad considering it was wet and i was time-trialling. Thursday did 4 mins tempo, then 4 x 2mins Saturday went over to Shropshire Hills to do some...

I don't tend to converse with people who use the term "happy clappers"..... usually a sign of abject unintelligence and/or spending too much time on Twitter.... Ditto people using the term "tinpot"

They were being given dogs abuse this time last year as well......
