One of the great features of football (or it should be, if you discount VAR etc), is that the rules applied are the same from "grass roots" to "elite". Unfortunately you can't just apply a different rule on this at low level just because it "doesn't really matter", as it sets a precedent for...

Were you down the Nuffield this evening?

Nah i wasn't in there today, i was training down Godiva Harriers tonight. I'll be in there tomorrow evening though....

Coventry..... the national city of rugby

Tall guy. Shaved/ginger hair. Always on the treadmill. Always wearing a running type vest. Always got a big pair of headphones on. Several evening a week between 5:30 - 7:30 and at least one weekend morning around 8am - 10:30am Tbf i loved it at Capitol, but had to face facts i'm a runner and...

Dunno about that..... i was a member at Capitol for over a decade and although i understand your point, people basically keep themselves to themselves. My brother goes to Diamonds Gym in the middle of town and he's by no means a typical "gym freak" and he's got no complaints. And i'm at...

This was an interesting snippet.... "Celebrating Wasps failure is all well and good but the majority on here who wet their pants over it seem incapable of noticing that we'll probably fail long before they do."

All you can do is make smaller tweaks to your diet....... since xmas i've cut out cheese completely..... and in last couple of months i've cut out my supper fridge-raid for a huge bowl of greek yoghurt with fruit&fibre. Seems to have given me the extra kg or two loss i've been looking for...

Love relays. Its great beating other clubs, but pitting your wits against your clubmates even better! Particularly like the cross country for the very same reason, when we get 20-30 lads all in the same race.

u wot... u wot... u wot, u wot, u wot

I'm going to the Pyrenees in September. Not strictly a holiday as i've got a race there half way through. Staying just on the French side, but racing across the border in Spain. Hoping to get out in the mountains as much as possible, but not exert myself too much prior to the race. Flights were...

I think people assume that a top 6 finish automatically means promotion. Unfortunately it still carries a very small chance (and we are a way off being automatic promotion contenders due to parachute payments and simply other teams being better). We may not make the Premier League in the next...

I don't actually think there's a lot in it across the top 4 or 5 european leagues. I looked at it statistically a year or so ago.... taking the amount of different league winners in each of the last 10 years, all the leagues were similar (in fact England had a slight lead i think). Same with...

Totally agree with this. Generally always adds to the occasion. Whilst i understand the point that it gives a slight advantage to away team, there have been plenty of high-profile matches in recent seasons where we've won against teams with large away following. When it gets to the point where...

I did Holbrooks Parkrun this morning. A new one for me. Fancied this one because its predominantly an off-road course, and less numbers than Coventry or Warwick, so i'd be less focused on a particular time or pb, and less likely to get pulled into a race... just wanting a decent run out after...

There's far worse going on in football than a dodgy VAR decision... Saudi Oil Company sponsoring the world cup. Next 5 World U17 World Cups being held in Qatar. Inevitable European Superleague. Spanish league matches to be played in USA We need to get over it. That said, its highly unlikely...

Exactly. Tonight was nailed on loss. Games against Cardiff and Birmingham did the damage.

They really aren't. They are certainly supremely fit, and finely-tuned for what they do.... but in scientific measures (taking VO2 Max as an example), an average Premier League footballer (let alone in the leagues below) isn't particularly exceptional compared to other sports. They aren't...

Yes Devon did have a men's team, came 12th.... probably the strongest of the non-traditional fell counties (although Devon does have a small fell-racing scene centered around Dartmoor and a couple of races near the coast paths. Their cause was helped by having one very strong runner (Jamie...

That was all English/Scottish/Welsh counties. Although "counties" in the loosest possible sense..... it is the counties as defined in UK Athletics..... so there was Northern Ireland, North Wales, East Wales, North Scotland, East Scotland, North-East, amongst others. So it is a struggle for a...
