CrawleySkyBlue i bet you would be able to post a decent time on a 3000mtr track race. Given the one-off effort and race conditions, i'd guess you wouldn't be far off 10mins. This morning for me it was 6 x 800mtr efforts in Bedworth Park. Wasn't expecting much time-wise given the swirling wind...

Binley Oak is gone. Brewer & Baker gone. Can't remember if Foresters is still there (i ran past there a few weeks back). It really is desolate and run down, and the flats on the site of the ground have done nothing to help.

I was gutted Villa didn't get relegated last year... but on the other hand, we've waited 20 years, so imagine then not being able to attend, it would have been such a disappointment. As for Leicester... we can bitch about them if we like... but fair play to them, and i'd sooner see them...

I personally thought the penalty was rather soft.... Biamou was going away from goal, the defender was unlucky to get there a split-second late. That said, it would have been a free-kick anywhere else on the pitch, so i suppose it was the correct decision. But no doubt we benefited greatly...

Biamou was superb today.

I said earlier that if he could just refine his decision making when he gets in advanced positions, he'd be fantastic... although that would mean he probably wouldn't be playing for us!

You've spent at least a fortnight complaining that none of our strikers are good enough anyway... now you want 3 up front...

The Canal is already an adequate "green route" to the centre tbf... yeas it's a bit run-down in places scenically, but gets plenty of traffic, i run on it a lot and there's a lot of people use it. It's being upgraded currently, and pretty much now all hard surface all the way out to the Greyhound.

I tend to agree... i did say "in an ideal world"!

In an ideal world i'd like to see the Canal Basin re-invigorated and become the "arts hub"..... and i wonder if the Ikea area would be of sufficient size to become a higher-end retail centre like Highcross Leicester/Bullring? Whether there is the appeal to higher end stores i'm not sure.

I've entered a road half-marathon in October, my first ever (i can count the number of road races i've done on one hand, with the exception of the Midlands and National Road Relays for Godiva, and of course numerous parkruns). Although it's in the Lake District and has 1700ft of climbing, so...

I'd say until it no longer causes an issue... could be healed up in a couple of days, maybe a little longer. You can get specific blister plasters to allow you to continue, but generally better to just let them heal. I've got similar... did 16 miles yesterday and my sock must have been a...

Whilst i totally understand your point... this is a major reason why i just can't be arsed with football at all any longer.... diving/VAR,"game management"......... all a sympton of money taking over the game and being all-important. CCFC was everything to me growing up, but having got into...

Didn't we go into the first part of the season with an "attacking attitude" to games, getting beaten left/right/centre, leaving all the experts on here to suggest that we start playing defensively. Which we are now doing, and are still above the (hopeful) target of around 1pt per game to keep us up.

How you rate it is all relative... It's equivalent to around 23:30 for 5km... a lot of people who run regularly won't be able to manage that and you'd be in the top 15-20% of most local parkruns. It's certainly not to be sniffed at...

Yeah it was biting out there this morning. I went down to the Prologis area and did some 400mtr reps.

That's very impressive to keep the training up during the lockdown, and also to post such an impressive time in a "time trial"... My pb had been 18:34 since about July19.... however this time last year i was way off that, my last parkrun was Jan20 and i was 19:26.... one positive of the...

I did 15 miles today, very steady 8min/mile all the way. Bedworth-Greyhound-Longford-HighfieldRd-Centre-Butts-FourPoundsAve-MoseleyAve-BeakeAve-Bedworth.... Strong headwind all the way back from FourPoundsAve made it an unpleasant second hour.

Brilliant! My last 5km effort i was at 3:25 for the first km, and i can almost hold that pace for 3km in a race situation... but no chance over 5km.

Really don't understand the desire for some people to try and convince everybody else that we are in "serious trouble", "doomed", "fucked", "right in the battle", and so forth. Everyone can look at the table and see what the situation is... we are right in it, and we are on a tough run of...
