    Newport Reminder

    To be honest for me the massive reduction in my passion for the game came as a result of leaving Highfield Road, and the subsequent total erosion of the match day experience. To me it mattered less that we were shit. So whilst we do need to be back in Cov, and that means Ricoh for now, I agree...

    Weight and working out

    For what it's worth, I've always stuck close to the 16:8.... Well it's more like 15:9 in my case, and I do have perhaps a spoonful of yoghurt or a Ryvita or something at breakfast time, so it's not a straight 15hrs. But it's a fairly solid principle. Everyone is different and will find...

    Weight and working out

    A little bit of misinformation on here. If you consume less calories than your maintenance figure then you'll lose WEIGHT, not necessarily fat. To lose fat, then the other factors such as macros and exercise come into play.

    The Brewer and Baker

    We used to go Flying Standard, Forresters, Brewer and Baker, then possibly Binley Oak. Brewer and Baker was certainly "unique"

    Scariest time at a ground.

    I think the worst I've seen at football was either Villa away multiple times in the 90's, or one of the games at home to Manchester United around the same time. I was not involved in that stuff but one of the pubs we used to drink in was the Brewer And Baker so obviously we saw and heard a lot...

    Scariest time at a ground.

    Yes they had bought a "mob" of 4 or 5 hundred.

    Scariest time at a ground.

    In the mid 90's we played Leeds last game of season at home a couple of times. The one where the West End ran away was the one mentioned above where it finished 3-3. The next time was I think 95-96 when we needed a result to stay up. Think it was 0-0, and it kicked off on the pitch. The city...

    Running

    Well yeah, group training (when tiers allow) usually once or twice per week, depending on club. No obligation to turn up every week.... It really helps with a bit of structure if you're struggling with that. The group I'm in at my club would typically train Tuesday and Thursday nights...

    Running

    -proper advice. -group training and runs. Great motivator. -most clubs have a vast range of abilities so you always have people at your pace (or alternatively slightly faster people to aim for!) -if you are minded to, free entry into road-relays, cross-country leagues, etc. There are a great...

    Running

    I use the Nike Zoom Pegasus or Vomero. Very cushioned without being bulky. Usually pick up the previous year's model from the Nike outlets at Resorts World or Nottingham, for a hefty discount.

    Running

    Depends what you're aiming for... Easy as possible.... 1.5 miles a day. If you want to improve at running you'd need to think about getting out and running nice and steady for longer than that... Which would likely see you smash 500 miles by the end of summer.

    Running

    Yes past the book farm. When you get to the crossroads on the edge of Bedworth with the petrol garage, go straight across.... The junction at end of this road, turn right and you are on road past Pedleys/Ash Green/Prologis. Yes it's both windy and cars shift along. But as long as you aren't...

    Running

    An alternative to running through town from Nuneaton is to head through Stockingford, turn left at Arbury Hall onto Astley Lane, and down those lanes to top end of Bedworth. No path for a lot of it, but it's usually reasonably quiet, you just have to be aware...

    Robings - how long left?

    We need a proven manager at this level like Peter Reid or Chris Coleman.

    Running

    If anyone saw plenty of runners heading in all directions around south/west Cov yesterday morning, it was the Godiva Harriers Xmas race (organised by yours truly). Starting at finishing at the clubhouse, had to visit Cov, Canley and Tile Hill Stations, in any order, any route. I managed 59:19...

    I run there. From home near Ash Green/Pedleys, up to Keresley village, down Prologis to the Ricoh, then home via Burbages Lane.

    Running

    Don't know anything in particular. But I just stopped all hard runs, and did a fortnight slow and steady. Still did 50-60 miles each week, but nothing fast. And gentle stretching

    Club night tonight. 7 x 1km with 1 minute rest. 3:33, 3:31, 3:29, 3:29, 3:31, 3:35, 3:35 Died a bit on the last couple, but was first hard session for a couple of weeks after some hip flexor issues.
