Bedworth :) But i've not really got that full Bedworth lilt.... i'm more Ash Green way and i never associated quite as much with the people from "real" Bedworth

Most people who live a long way from here, seem to think i'm a bit "Brummy". But people from closer i.e Midlands, definitely seem to be able to identify it as Cov.

Tuesday night was 2 mile reps on the perimeter roads round the outside of the Memorial Park. Was pretty slippy going down Coat Of Arms Bridge Road in the dark with all the fallen leaves. But managed 12:16 and 12:22 for the two reps (actually they are more like 2.1 mile, so just crept under...

My big 10 mile race next sunday in Carlisle... one of the fastest (and actually the oldest) 10 Milers in the UK. Hoping to go as close as possible to 62mins. Below 62 would be a dream and i doubt possible, but above 63 i'd be a bit unhappy with. Although being a linear course, conditions on...

Nice. I've done 5:18 on the flat.... although that was part of a session with multiple reps. Based on my 1500mtr pb (4:45) i reckon i'd be 5mins - 5:05 on a track mile race. We had a group run last night in the wind and rain. Starting at Warwick Uni, up the hill to Gibett Hill Rd, up...

With the best will in the world, you're not going to dramatically increase your fitness/endurance in two weeks.... I'd just get back out used to having time on your feet... wouldn't do any distances that are going to take you overly long to recover from (you'll know better than anyone else...

I saw numerous incidences of it, all down Moseley Avenue and Holyhead Road. But yes the most numerous were at the junction of Long Lane and Tamworth Road, including a minor altercation with a guy who got out of his car to have a go at some poor volunteer.

Nice one. I was out on the course at Holyhead Rd and then Tamworth Rd. Nice day for it. Never ceases to amaze me what dickheads a lot of Cov public can be... there's been signs up all over town about the road closures, yet still a lot of people think they can ignore it and drive down closed...

Admittedly i haven't poked my head out the door yet, but looks alright at the moment. Will be heading out in half hour, down towards Holyhead Rd.

I'll be out on the course tomorrow, probably Holyhead Rd and then Tamworth Rd, supporting a few clubmates. One, who won the Northbrook 10km, might have a shout of winning tomorrow. Cov Parkrun this morning in 18:50, followed by 8 x 150mtr hill sprints... a very tough end to a hard week.

Mile reps with Godiva last night in the Warwick Uni campus. 5 miles, 1,3,5 ran hard, 2 & 4 ran a bit easier. Hard miles 5:43 5:49 5:49 Easy miles both 7:10 Surprising how much more difficult the session is when you speed up those easy miles a little. Last time i did this session i did the...

Hoka's are decent but i think you either love 'em or hate 'em. I personally think technology has moved on a bit and you can get equally comfortable shoes that are much less chunky. But there's no denying they are comfortable. If you just want something basic then Nike Pegasus are the staple...

Midlands cross country relays today in Wolverhampton. Good run for me.... 22:14 for 6km across the grass and a bit of mud. Although it was a couple of hundred metres short of the advertised 6km. Good to see teams there from Nuneaton, Northbrook, Massey and Sphinx. Godiva first team were 9th...

Hill reps last night alongside the A45, from down towards Canley Fire Station, up onto the train bridge at Costco. Foul night, got soaked, but at least it was warm. Tomorrow is the Midland Cross Country Relay Champs, next to the Wolves Academy. Due to the proportion of over-35's available for...

Didn't take long for certain Sunderland fans to claim their death-mocking is "totally different". This is where football fans (as a collective entity) fall down....... they'll try and justify anything in their own favour.

Whilst our away following is seriously impressive, i don't see either of those happening. Would be great if they did though.

1st time i ever did Bedworth Parkrun i was winning by a mile.... but i didn't know the trail section and there was no marshall at the turn.... ended up out on Cov Rd by the Black Bank pub.... got back on the course and ended up 2nd or 3rd. 10 miler is Brampton-Carlisle.... its one of the...

Good going, well done on the pb. Its amazing the variation in parkruns in a small area...... if i'd gone to Bedworth today i'd have won by over a minute.... at Cov i was 17th. Was just pleased to run a satisfactory time straight off the back of a hard week..... (race last saturday, two...

Did Cov Parkrun this morning in 18:40ish, as part of a club session. Then we were straight into 8 x 150mtr hill reps, which were pretty tortuous.

Hill session last night, on the hill that runs up to the Medical Block at Warwick Uni. As hills are somewhat my speciality, i made a valiant effort to stick to the faster guys for the session. This worked to a point, but i dropped off the pace for the final 3 reps (of 11) 9 miles for the...
