I went to the Challenge Cup final last summer, but mainly as a present for my dad's birthday. Found it an enjoyable watch but not got enough passion for it to watch regularly.

It’s a lovely route, we race it (it is a famous fell race)..... but don’t underestimate if walking it.... between 9-12 hours if walking, depending on weather, fitness of the group, etc....

I don’t like minute applauses full stop, even the organised ones before games. Should be a minutes silence of respect and I stand silently during any applause. Sod anyone who doesn’t like it...

Did anybody else enter that Coventry Runner competition on social media.... basically had to email them and say why you’d be a great choice to review some shoes and promote them (and Cov Runner), then you get to keep the shoes at the end of the review period... I thought I had a decent chance...

It’s also worth mentioning that as you improve, the increments in your successes will slow down a little... you have a very steep improvement over a shorter space of time, but then it becomes progressively more difficult to make improvements... I got down to 20mins through my own running...

Northbrook are a good club, turn out in massive numbers for local events, and have their own 10km race. Possibly a little less focused on the big national events as Godiva, but they still turn out. I actually enquired about joining them but went for Godiva instead. There’s some fantastic events...

Went over to the Warwick Racecourse Parkrun this morning.... a fairly new one I think, only about 3 or 4 months old... a good course for speedsters and pb chasers.... apart from a hill at halfway (not too bad) it’s pancake flat... I ran a steady/lacklustre 19:27 despite the considerable ice...

I am a "friend" with Sky Blue Ultra oon Facebook..... His birthday is listed as April 1st...

still on Bentleys Roof (Leicester fansonline site, linked to LAST).

was fantastic in those days! Lost days at work on there... in the late days of GMK I’m pretty sure it was a completely independent site. Funnily enough the later days of GMK coincided with the earlier days of this place.... GMK was seen as a haven of SISU-loving lunatics by the vast majority...

half I think... rather than running a half marathon every weekend, as suggested above, I’d suggest sticking to something around 9-10 miles but trying to run a little (but not much) harder than race pace. You’ve already done a half before so don’t think there’s any issues regarding managing the...

I am someone who weighed myself one xmas and was horrified to be 16st2 (around 102kg)..... and now walk round around 80kg (about 12 and a half stone).... If you want it to be a permanent loss of weight then it has to be a permanent change to your diet or lifestyle... fad diets don’t work in...

faor enough it does look a lot worse when you fully open the link... don’t get me wrong, I want Wasps to bugger off as much as anyone, and I very nearly jizzed my pants when Northampton scored that try at the end today... but I genuinely think this is more a case of unfortunate thought and...

I’m as willing to get stuck into Wasps as the next person... however I think particular event is way too blown out of proportion. it doesn’t take a genius to see that the “goal” is a good 10-15 yards away from the wall, and with obviously foam balls they aren’t going anywhere near the wall...

First season down, home to Norwich City.... (when Richie Partridge scored that screamer) what if we hadn’t conceded a goal through a massive deflection right near the end? A win in that match would have put us well clear in the automatic promotion places, albeit well before xmas, but I’m...

What are the words to Sky Blue Army?

Good day out at the Warks cross country champs... Godiva with individual golds in the senior U17 and U20 races, and team gold in one of them. I think team gold in one of the girls U17/U20 races too... in the seniors we took silver behind Birchfield Harriers. Massive well done to our city...

4th race in 10 days this afternoon, at Warley Woods in Smethwick.... Warwickshire Cross Country Championships... interestingly, Warwickshire for athletics purposes is the “old” county of Warwickshire, including Coventry and much of Greater Birmingham, hence the venue ‘over the border’...

38 of the current league clubs.... if included teams which have dropped out of the league I think it would be low 40’s... although I’m far from a regular now, home or away.... been to more Italian matches in the past several years than English matches...

I remember Sky Blue Army, Twist & Shout, In Dublin’s Fair City... in one fanzine was a cartoon.... titled something like “Mick Chant... everything he says is a football chant”.... which was pretty good. I remember coming home with one as a teenager, and my mum expressing borrow that “shit...
