Probably an unpopular view, but I thought the 2-tone kit was nothing special.... But if it had been a black/white version of last seasons striped kits it would have been fantastic.

No idea I'm afraid...

No, Leamington C & AC

Brilliant time... but as you well know, knocking time off gets harder as you get quicker. 163secs sounds like a small amount, but it's still 12secs/mile. Although i'd imagine race conditions have the potential to make up the majority of those seconds.

Cov Godiva here.... Gally do you know Phil Gould? He is a good runner from your end of town, although i think he now runs for Leamington AC...

If only we'd been up for the fight like Rotherham today...

I had mild Achilles Tendonitis. Went to a local sports physio (who i would happily recommend... he works {or used to} with Cov RFC)...... probably took a month of minor treatment, stretches and going very easy on the running. Stretching is one of the keys to preventing it IMO.

Track session at a cool and windy Pingles this morning. 7 x 400mtrs with 90secs rest periods. 74/75secs per rep. Only a short one, but an improvement on my final track session before the lockdown when i see that i did 8 x 400mtrs with 2mins rest, but was doing 78-81secs per rep.

It's quite telling that the two biggest buffoons on the forum (cc84 and that bury guy) want Robins out... In which case i'll nail my flag to the "Robins in" mast with a large degree of confidence.

They were meeting in the Tesco Car Park at Cannon Park, and going to run some hill on the Warwick Uni Campus. I'm pretty sure they were Northbrook, that's what my clubmate told me, although it could have been in error. As you say it was perhaps 6-8 people , most seemed to be in their 40's and...

Another club session last night, and a 25 minute constant up-and-down hill effort on the grass. Interestingly a group of half a dozen or so Northbrook runners were also in the carpark waiting to start a hill session... i thought we were going to have a race on our hands, but they went off for...

Club training resumed last night. We started off steadily with a 6 mile run with a few random hard intervals thrown in. Turning it up a bit now though... hill session on the grass for tomorrow night's session, then booked an hour on the track at Pingles for saturday.

It's more a case of time. I enjoy tournament play rather than one-off matches... played a 20-game tourney on saturday, and even at 3 minute (+1 sec) games it was nearly 3hrs.

I still play a fair amount of Chess. In my early to mid-teens played in the local league against teams from all over Nuneaton/Cov/Western Birmingham. Like most things, it dropped off, but with the huge rise in online sites i've started playing regularly again. My rating seems to correspond...

1:20 would be very decent. Reckon i could probably go for 1:24 on current form. Got a half marathon in october but its got nearly 2000ft of climb in the Lake District, so would be ecstatic with under 1hr35 there. Track race in a fortnight at Nuneaton. 1500mtrs.... brrr

That is good going. I reckon i'd take 62mins in race conditions!

Sorry, can't offer anything up i'm afraid.... everyone is different. Do you go out fairly hard from the off....? it could be as simple as going out shortly after waking up, then not really allowing your body to warm up, puts a strain on. Warming up is pretty vital... not for a typical run...

I did my usual cross-country loop round Corley and Fillongley, but ran it a fair bit harder this time, 1hr31

Repeated my cross-country run of a fortnight ago... following the footpaths parallel with the M6, then looping up through Fillongley and eventually back along the Cov Way. 11.5miles. Managed it about 25mins quicker than last time... mainly due to knowing exactly where i was going this time...

You said we should play more than one up front today? But Biamou not good enough? Gyo not good enough? Godden unfit? Walker then. That's one up front.
