    Scariest time at a ground.

    In the mid 90's we played Leeds last game of season at home a couple of times. The one where the West End ran away was the one mentioned above where it finished 3-3. The next time was I think 95-96 when we needed a result to stay up. Think it was 0-0, and it kicked off on the pitch. The city...

    Well yeah, group training (when tiers allow) usually once or twice per week, depending on club. No obligation to turn up every week.... It really helps with a bit of structure if you're struggling with that. The group I'm in at my club would typically train Tuesday and Thursday nights...

    -proper advice. -group training and runs. Great motivator. -most clubs have a vast range of abilities so you always have people at your pace (or alternatively slightly faster people to aim for!) -if you are minded to, free entry into road-relays, cross-country leagues, etc. There are a great...

    I use the Nike Zoom Pegasus or Vomero. Very cushioned without being bulky. Usually pick up the previous year's model from the Nike outlets at Resorts World or Nottingham, for a hefty discount.

    Running

    Depends what you're aiming for... Easy as possible.... 1.5 miles a day. If you want to improve at running you'd need to think about getting out and running nice and steady for longer than that... Which would likely see you smash 500 miles by the end of summer.

    Running

    Yes past the book farm. When you get to the crossroads on the edge of Bedworth with the petrol garage, go straight across.... The junction at end of this road, turn right and you are on road past Pedleys/Ash Green/Prologis. Yes it's both windy and cars shift along. But as long as you aren't...

    Running

    An alternative to running through town from Nuneaton is to head through Stockingford, turn left at Arbury Hall onto Astley Lane, and down those lanes to top end of Bedworth. No path for a lot of it, but it's usually reasonably quiet, you just have to be aware...

    Robings - how long left?

    We need a proven manager at this level like Peter Reid or Chris Coleman.

    If anyone saw plenty of runners heading in all directions around south/west Cov yesterday morning, it was the Godiva Harriers Xmas race (organised by yours truly). Starting at finishing at the clubhouse, had to visit Cov, Canley and Tile Hill Stations, in any order, any route. I managed 59:19...

    See post #855 Also I'd heartily recommend joining a club (of which there are many in this area!)

    I run there. From home near Ash Green/Pedleys, up to Keresley village, down Prologis to the Ricoh, then home via Burbages Lane.

    Don't know anything in particular. But I just stopped all hard runs, and did a fortnight slow and steady. Still did 50-60 miles each week, but nothing fast. And gentle stretching

    Club night tonight. 7 x 1km with 1 minute rest. 3:33, 3:31, 3:29, 3:29, 3:31, 3:35, 3:35 Died a bit on the last couple, but was first hard session for a couple of weeks after some hip flexor issues.

    Running

    For those asking about what's best, a slightly faster 5km or a slower 10km for general fitness... My opinion is until you can go out at least a few times a week and run a 10km "easily"..... You should always look at increasing distance or time, rather than pace. Then when you can do that sort...

    Running

    Getting used to running on tired legs is not necessarily a bad thing... For someone who wants to progress, the usual starting point is upping the mileage with steady runs, which is inevitably going to mean some runs are not done "fresh". What is bad however, is forcing out hard sessions when...

    Running

    Everyone is different. Some will say total rest. My preference is get back out ASAP. Even if its 15mins uphill walking on the treadmill, or a 10min jog. I find it helps. But don't go in hard again until recovered. Had a club internal cross-country last weekend, only 6km but surprisingly tough...

    Take the knee

    I think the last few posts again highlight what a shit show it all is. I personally have no appetite to be "educated" by anyone from the football community on anything... Be it racism, politics, morals..... Whether they be Millwall fans, Sky Sports and their presenters, Neymar and his team...
