    Do you think we will learn after this is all over?

    I've been planning a trip to Switzerland in the autumn.... And possibly an Italy trip too... Thought about booking now due to the liklihood of great deals, but I still think its a little risky, and I'll most likely wait until travel restrictions are lifted before I commit to booking...

    Nice one, that's a decent time. I am looking forward to getting out and doing a Parkrun hopefully in the next month or two, although I suspect I'm a little off the 18:30 mark at the moment. Hopefully sub 19 though. Training is going well, I'll top 50 miles for the week by the time today is...

    Pay cuts at Premier League clubs

    Player, and football in general, have a great life, and it would seem little to complain about. However ranting about them taking a pay cut is wrong in my opinion... Whether or not they pay full tax, creative accounting etc, I expect most Premier players pay more in tax (supposedly funding the...

    Sunday league tales

    We had a 30-40 man brawl.... Before kickoff.... With a team we weren't even playing... 4 teams, 2 (identical) pitches... Yet an argument broke out over who was using which pitch... All sounds pretty amusing, but unfortunately one of their lads ended up with a broken arm in the melee...

    Sunday league tales

    I played for a reasonable team, but we had our fair share of wreck heads.... One lad was living in a tent by the canal when we signed him up. Loved a session. To perk himself up before one game he took half a pill. Didn't even see the first goal fly into his top corner (he was keeper). I was...

    Running

    I'm working from home now and picking up a treadmill tomorrow, so training twice a day then, and hopefully similar results to come! Personally I think exercise is essential.

    Lose the Gut Thread 2019!!

    You'd like to think so... However in the unlikely event we went as drastic as Spain/France, I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to go out running...

    Running

    Well it seems all the local clubs have had to close down their activities. Our club/track/training has closed down. Our coach sending training sessions to us via WhatsApp to complete on our own. Did the first last night.

    Plenty of clubs based in the Peaks. The two biggest are Dark Peak and Pennine based to the east (Sheffield, Hope Valley) and west of the peaks (Hayfield area) respectively. There are also very solid clubs at Glossopdale, Matlock, Holmfirth, Staffordshire Moorlands (Leek), Buxton and...

    Running

    Fun and games on the mountains the last couple of weeks... Last weekend Cov Godiva took a team over to the opening Welsh Champs race. We had the race winner, the u23 winner, and three of us in the top 20, yet we were only 4th team. Some of the dedicated fellrunning teams are so strong...

    Great stuff! You must have finished close to my clubmate who finished 18:56 or 18:59 or similar. Fell race tomorrow in Shropshire... Welsh Champs/South Wales Champs.... History in the making as Cov Godiva taking a team to a (non relay) fell race for the first time ever... Depending on how...

    Sunderland fans crying "again"

    Chaos at the National XC today. Muddy as hell, water jumps were all heavily flooded and were about 20 yards long rather than a “jump”.... saw quite a few people stuck fast in the mud and needing help to get pulled out. Combined with the hills and some good running ground, made for a really...

    Dion visits Coventry

    As a 15 year old when we sold him, I was apoplectic, gave him dogs abuse at Villa Park when we won 4-1, and detested him for a while... but looking back he was a City legend and almost single-handedly kept us in the Premier League for several years. An immense player and one of my favourites.

    National Cross Country champs in Nottingham tomorrow, on a course which is always monumentally tough, but promises to be even worse with the recent weather. Godiva with a fairly strong team, albeit missing perhaps our two best runners (our Somalian superstar working, and another very fast guy...
