Cov Godiva here.... Gally do you know Phil Gould? He is a good runner from your end of town, although i think he now runs for Leamington AC...
Already done mateWe should start a SkyBluesTalk Strava club.
Is that Rich’s brother?Cov Godiva here.... Gally do you know Phil Gould? He is a good runner from your end of town, although i think he now runs for Leamington AC...
Nice.. found itAlready done mate
probably know him by face, I’m in leamington myself. Is he a strider?

Brilliant time... but as you well know, knocking time off gets harder as you get quicker. 163secs sounds like a small amount, but it's still 12secs/mile.
Although i'd imagine race conditions have the potential to make up the majority of those seconds.
Yeah, he's bloody fast isn't he? I mean as a player he played in bursts but he's obviously got stamina as well.Any of you follow Huckerby on Twitter? Blokes still got it. His most recent run uploaded on Twitter...View attachment 19476
Sacked off the 2nd half today to do just under 12km. Last 2km were in a hailstorm which doesn't go well with a shaved head! Went running by the river like I used to and even though it's flat, forgot how much more it takes out of my legs than running on pavements.
Is that along the Mersey by the water parks? I ran partly round some of the reservoirs here, ground was rocky and uneven and felt the same, trying to keep your footing is tiringSacked off the 2nd half today to do just under 12km.

I hadn’t really thought about this until recently, as ‘a run was just a run’ but you’re right it makes a big difference.
I predominantly run through fields/canal towpaths/bridal paths etc, and the terrain is often pretty poor. It definitely takes more out of the legs than pavements and even surfaces!
I see it as a positive - just means it’s more of a workout!
It is which is partly why I fell in love with running again last year. Pretty much the end of my road you have the river, 2 water parks, Ivy Green and a nature reserve. Mostly the paths are good but you're right, there's stretches where it's just rocky and you've got to have your wits about youIs that along the Mersey by the water parks?
