I think we have a fairly generous ending to the season. Late October and through November look horrible though!

I generally agree with everything said in the above posts... it's never challenged. However my understanding of the Scottish Independence/Brexit issue, is that they "want" to be independent from us so that they can then stay in the EU as a single nation.... * * This may well be complete...

Aside from the issue of being "out of town", it would seem a pretty good site for a football stadium. (discussion probably been done many times before). But would seem to be a place that needs refurb, and a nod to the sporting heritage of the city, seems as good a location as the UOW (or indeed...

Taxi for Robbins

As expected, it took one mediocre pre-season friendly to send the board into a full meltdown.

On the track at Pingles this morning. 11 x 400mtrs with 90secs rest. Still a little heavy-legged from last weekend, but managed to keep the reps consistent at 79-81 seconds, so a good session in humid conditions.

Atlanta and Lazio are same level as Inter Milan. But i also think the main challenge is likely to come from Inter, i think they have the potential to be consistent enough. Lazio always got calamity potential, and Atlalanta (my team) play stunning football but usually at the expense of...

We've got to hope that we can do better than Wycombe (that is absolutely no disrespect to them, they are probably better set out for a "battle", but hopefully our style of football will suit in this division). And there's always one team who have a stinker (Blues, Sheff Weds, Barnsley, Luton?)...

If you've got the dedication to train for a half (which you obviously have!), then i'm sure you have the capability to train for a marathon.

Don't get too worked up on hitting a certain pace on your long runs, especially if relatively new to them. Build up the endurance base first, then can start to think about running them harder. (much the same principle as shorter distance training (5km/10km/half/etc).... need to have the solid...

We messed up bigly with the first few games at the Ricoh in several ways... Not having the safety certificate in place for the first game and therefore it not being sold out.... didn't we absolutely batter QPR, had we played that match in front of 32000 it would have had massive carry-over...

I use it primarily as a way for keeping updated with news for my branch of running.... photos/results/etc.... has been particularly useful during the past few months when there have been many cancellations and rearrangements. However in terms of keeping up with friends, etc... as someone...

Great to get back racing yesterday on the Brecon Beacons, even though it was staggered starts so had more of a time-trial feel to it. Not the same level of competition last year (when it was a South Wales Fell Champs counter, and i finished 4th) Set off really hard as i knew there were one or...

Thing is... we have a bad season up to xmas and all sentiment will go out the window, and this place (amongst others) will be full of "Robins out"

I know a chap who worked in marketing/pr for Wasps and was made redundant late last year... he is now in pretty much the same job, but employers are "the Ricoh" apparently... Forgive me i may not be 100% accurate on the facts, but that is my understanding and that is the basics of it... I...

Track session this morning, and first part of my concerted effort to get my 5km time down to 18mins. A simple theory... i need to be able to run my longer reps (1km/1200mtrs/1 mile) at the required pace (3:36/km or approx 5:45/mile) Once i can do a sufficient amount of reps on the track at...

the Sport & Wellness Hub is basically that building furthest bottom-left on the image. Basically it's a Sports Centre (would you believe). There's certainly a lot of development in that area. Although as you can see it's heavily used for cricket and a number of good-quality football pitches...

Great stuff on the 5km! I'm quite a way off sub-18 at the moment...

I can do them, but need someone to hold my legs steady (this seems easier than trying to balance against a wall, as quite naturally you feel like you're going to topple over).

5km effort on the track this morning. 18:40.... a little disappointed, had hoped to be a lot nearer to 18mins, but i guess it shows your training numbers don't lie (18:40 is basically 3:44/km or 6min/mile, and my recent pace on km/1250/mile reps has generally been around 3:40-3:45/km, or...
