I'm knocking up 70 mile weeks now working from home. Nothing to do but work and treadmill, and occasional road run. Trying to keep sharp, getting a club "session" sent to us once a week, and I'm generally doing them twice in a week. Be interested to see what it does to my Parkrun time. I...

I think it was Vale View.. Which I think is back end of Camp Hill. The friendly bloke who's house I parked outside, kindly informed me that he was going to smash my car up with his baseball bat if I didn't move it...

I turned up to a match in Nuneaton about 15 years ago and there was a burnt out car on the pitch, and sharp metal sticking up everywhere... The ref (who obviously wanted his subs) was keen to play the match and tried to get us all lifting it up and off the pitch. To be honest I was also keen...

Yes that wind was absolutely biting this morning... I went out in a vest, and although it was the right decision (I was sweating hard after 7.5 miles), the first 5minutes were bloody freezing!

I had similar playing against Jaguar... Came on as sub and quite innocently got legs tangled up with one of their strikers... He ran off, not before stamping on my foot, I "had words".... A bit of handbags and thought he was going to throw a punch. I was heavily involved in Muay Thai at the...

3 x 5 minute hard efforts, with 3 minute rests between each one, tonight. Efforts done at around 5km effort... If not quite same pace, due to two of the efforts being uphill. Good to get out on the roads after a week of treadmill training!

I've been planning a trip to Switzerland in the autumn.... And possibly an Italy trip too... Thought about booking now due to the liklihood of great deals, but I still think its a little risky, and I'll most likely wait until travel restrictions are lifted before I commit to booking...

Nice one, that's a decent time. I am looking forward to getting out and doing a Parkrun hopefully in the next month or two, although I suspect I'm a little off the 18:30 mark at the moment. Hopefully sub 19 though. Training is going well, I'll top 50 miles for the week by the time today is...

Player, and football in general, have a great life, and it would seem little to complain about. However ranting about them taking a pay cut is wrong in my opinion... Whether or not they pay full tax, creative accounting etc, I expect most Premier players pay more in tax (supposedly funding the...

We had a 30-40 man brawl.... Before kickoff.... With a team we weren't even playing... 4 teams, 2 (identical) pitches... Yet an argument broke out over who was using which pitch... All sounds pretty amusing, but unfortunately one of their lads ended up with a broken arm in the melee...

I played for a reasonable team, but we had our fair share of wreck heads.... One lad was living in a tent by the canal when we signed him up. Loved a session. To perk himself up before one game he took half a pill. Didn't even see the first goal fly into his top corner (he was keeper). I was...

I'm working from home now and picking up a treadmill tomorrow, so training twice a day then, and hopefully similar results to come! Personally I think exercise is essential.

You'd like to think so... However in the unlikely event we went as drastic as Spain/France, I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to go out running...

Still open at the moment... Considering getting a second hand treadmill if we get confined to houses though...

Well it seems all the local clubs have had to close down their activities. Our club/track/training has closed down. Our coach sending training sessions to us via WhatsApp to complete on our own. Did the first last night.

I'm still going the gym.

Plenty of clubs based in the Peaks. The two biggest are Dark Peak and Pennine based to the east (Sheffield, Hope Valley) and west of the peaks (Hayfield area) respectively. There are also very solid clubs at Glossopdale, Matlock, Holmfirth, Staffordshire Moorlands (Leek), Buxton and...

Fun and games on the mountains the last couple of weeks... Last weekend Cov Godiva took a team over to the opening Welsh Champs race. We had the race winner, the u23 winner, and three of us in the top 20, yet we were only 4th team. Some of the dedicated fellrunning teams are so strong...

Play all remaining games on Sensible Soccer on the Amiga...

Great stuff! You must have finished close to my clubmate who finished 18:56 or 18:59 or similar. Fell race tomorrow in Shropshire... Welsh Champs/South Wales Champs.... History in the making as Cov Godiva taking a team to a (non relay) fell race for the first time ever... Depending on how...
