Mile reps in the Warwick Uni campus last night. 2 x hard miles with a recovery mile in between. 5:27 5:29 With middle mile 8:30

To try and be generous to Wright.... He made some good runs into space for long balls, and obviously worried their defence... He's obviously a handful.... but end product was awful. He (and Simms) need a goal and hopefully we'll see some confidence.

It sounded poor on the telly. But monday night, poor performance, and poor away end probably massive contributors to that.

Midlands 6 Stage Road Relays today at Sutton Park. For me it was very pleasing. Ran 21:48 for just under 6km which was a pb on that course by 55 seconds. Went through 5km in 18:34 which was again very pleasing as it is a hilly course. Our first team were a bit below par today and came in...

Last night was our final grass session of the year. 3 x 1 mile cross-country reps with about a minute jog recovery. Saturday is the Midlands 6 Stage Road Relays at Sutton Coldfield. Need to finish in the top 25 to qualify for the National a fortnight later at the same venue. I'm running 4th...

Nice one. Yes Bedworth has an off-road section with a couple of hairpins and it was decidedly slippy this morning, and a couple of stiff hills. Although the hills slowed me down, they helped me keep hold of 4th place as a youth from Nun Harriers was chasing me down, but my strength on the...

Did Bedworth Parkrun this morning. It was a bit of a spur of the moment thing, and off the back off two tough sessions this week i wasn't expecting great things.... so fairly content with 19:08 and 4th place. Much cooler than last weekend at Warwick which helped a lot.

Club night at Godiva and we had 8 x 1 minute efforts, with 30 second recoveries. Doesn't sound much, but the effort pace is quick, and the recoveries just about leave enough time to regain control of pulse/breath.... (by the later reps i was taking around 20secs to regain composure, leaving...

Nice one... I reckon in sessions i was putting 8-10 400mtrs together in about 78 secs when i ran my 1500.

What sort of times were your 400's? Your km rep isn't far off mine, and i'd be on the fringes of a sub 5min mile. I've done a 4:45 1500mtr track race which is about 5:05 pace for a mile, and i'd be doing "hard" km reps in around 3:18-3:20. So on some fag-packet calcs you might be currently...

Mechelen reached the Cup Winners Cup Final the year we should have been in it.... think they lost to Ajax.

Yes it started a few weeks ago. They had asked that only the invited "trial runners" attend for 6 weeks or so, to give the inexperienced organisers a chance to get used to it.... however word seems to have gotten out and i think general public are turning up now. I think the majority of the...

I remember him getting attacked in that bar at Brentford away.... shameful. I was the only one who tried to stand up for him.

Did the parkrun at Warwick Racecourse this morning. 18:37 which considering the heat was very pleasing. 5th... most pleasing aspect for me was i was being chased hard by about 5 runners at halfway, but despite the conditions held my pace for the 2nd half, and finished well ahead of them.

Tbf go round most parks in this country on a saturday and sunday..... and football is a game played by fat blokes who aren't very good at football.

My mate had a western girlfriend (can't remember if she was German or Danish)..... and could only do simple things like hold hands with her in the confines of the "British Compound". Some standard of living

Nothing wrong with it at all.... i just think the overall atmosphere is far better when there's a large away allocation. For me it improves the matchday experience.

I thought it was 10-11000 for Yeovil. Nobody was expecting another sellout, but it was a pitiful crowd.

I'm probably in a absolutely tiny minority here.... but i don't want our away end to be paltry.... it massively improves the spectacle when there's 4000+ away fans. Regardless of demand from City fans, i'd like to see our away end stay at 4k minimum.

One of my best friends lived for a number of years in Saudi Arabia.... he had some bad experiences whilst living there and said it was one of the few places he wouldn't go back to, to live..... and this is a chap who has lived all over Europe and Asia, not the ravings of a bigot... That said...
