I know a chap who worked in marketing/pr for Wasps and was made redundant late last year... he is now in pretty much the same job, but employers are "the Ricoh" apparently... Forgive me i may not be 100% accurate on the facts, but that is my understanding and that is the basics of it... I...

Track session this morning, and first part of my concerted effort to get my 5km time down to 18mins. A simple theory... i need to be able to run my longer reps (1km/1200mtrs/1 mile) at the required pace (3:36/km or approx 5:45/mile) Once i can do a sufficient amount of reps on the track at...

the Sport & Wellness Hub is basically that building furthest bottom-left on the image. Basically it's a Sports Centre (would you believe). There's certainly a lot of development in that area. Although as you can see it's heavily used for cricket and a number of good-quality football pitches...

Great stuff on the 5km! I'm quite a way off sub-18 at the moment...

I can do them, but need someone to hold my legs steady (this seems easier than trying to balance against a wall, as quite naturally you feel like you're going to topple over).

5km effort on the track this morning. 18:40.... a little disappointed, had hoped to be a lot nearer to 18mins, but i guess it shows your training numbers don't lie (18:40 is basically 3:44/km or 6min/mile, and my recent pace on km/1250/mile reps has generally been around 3:40-3:45/km, or...

Kieran, as you say in a previous post, it's your body... But seriously... knocking off 15 beers is one thing, but following it up with fasting for 48hrs seriously isn't a healthy way to lose weight.... Fasting for 48 hrs isn't a good idea under any circumstances really... I admire your...

I may be talking bollocks, but i'd prefer we keep the same kits as last season. I understand that it's a revenue stream, but i would imagine, especially if we have a reasonable start to the season, that the current kits will continue to sell in fair numbers. We've got the best kits we've seen...

I've not, but thanks for the recommendation, I'll try and check it out...

I think if you're looking at a trainer for sports, then it's preferable to have someone's who has "been there and done it"... obviously there are exceptions... Arsene Wenger and Arrigo Sacchi the popular examples in football... I'm pretty much against a lot of the whole PT culture... you...

I think diet trumps exercise if you're looking purely at it in weight terms... but get both ticking along nicely and the transformation can be pretty spectacular...

Fair play to you. Just be wary of over-restricting the calories. Trust me, i've "made weight" for several fights... trying to function as a human, never mind train, is incredibly tough if you don't put a reasonable amount of fuel in... ultimately it was that mental strain which is why i...

Is the original poster (Kieran) still posting on here? i read the first few pages, then it started going on about 72hr fasts, etc... Kieran my advice is find something you can stick to that is sustainable, and you unfortunately then have to see it as a permanent change, rather than a "diet"...

The Athletics Track (which holds various athletics competition, as well as being used as a "base" for international squads when the Olympics/Commonwealth/etc comes to the UK..... it does actually have a footballl pitch in the middle (although that's pretty irrelavant, if it's got room for a...

I'm not saying they should ignore it (obviously).... just stating a fact... no more, no less.

To be 100% fair to the Cov Tel on this occasion, there's a lot going on there and within the Trinity Group... sadly for us, the CCFC/Wasps situation is not necessarily number one priority at the moment.

I race against a number of very strong university teams in athletics. I would say that (in athletics anyway) Birmingham Uni are as strong as Loughborough, and likely to surpass them (in terms of performance, if not official status). Warwick are still a way behind.

If you're after an arrow-straight 2 mile run that is a bit flatter (it's definitely slightly downhill but it's barely noticeable, but i guess still helps you along), the "Greenway" path from the road at Burton Green, heading in the direction of Kenilworth... (i think it's an old disused...

Bedworth Parkrun... A few basic facts... compared to Cov there's probably only 200-250 runners rather than 500-700... however it's three laps instead of two, so you still encounter "traffic". At the front end, the standard is not quite as high. Sometimes you get the odd 16 minuter turn up...

I also had a weigh in yesterday and was 79.1kg... Which is lowest I've been since my last fight in 2015 (78kg). Was 81kg before lockdown. Will be interesting to see whether it's the increased mileage that has lowered it, or loss of strength/muscle from no gym. Guess I'll find out when the...
