The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
westernpark replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
I know a number of people who ran today- all said they were taken the wrong way and added about 600m onto their run. It’s always been badly organised. -
Yeah just straight to the point- Aiyawatt time to go. Don’t mention his Dad- I don’t care about him, I care about my football club.
-
Hyperbole- yes he’s poor this season but you would see his touch, passing and ability to read the game would stand out. Nonetheless he needs dropping.
-
Not expecting promotion. Want the owner go- don’t care about the manager currently
-
The league is really poor this season. This is your opportunity to go up. You will never have a better opportunity- Alex Neil is probably the best manager you’ve ever had- genuinely not a dig. It would be great fun you lot being in the premier league, good luck.

Coincidence not causation.

Monsal Trail half marathon. The announcer billed it as a pb race but it’s so congested with the 10kers that I was nearly doing an eleven minute mile for the first couple. Despite feeling horrendous still, turned it round to get a respectable 1hour 57. Heart rate spiked at 201 which is the highest I’ve ever recorded it. -

Where are you reading these rumours? Do people put rumours down on bits of paper, table cloth, napkin, fish and chip paper? Tell me please -
I thought you were Thracian.

I live a 5 minute walk away. I know you have cask in your veins and it’s average for that- still decent. But the keg line up is outstanding.

The city is broken and it will only get worse. I try my best but it will be time to leave soon.

Not really bothered who’s in charge until the ownership go.

They have not been banned because of their own behaviour (admittedly this is not always good). They have been banned because the authorities do not believe the fans can be kept safe when visiting this country. That is very wrong and the game should be played behind closed doors if this is believed. Whilst I think clubs from their country should have been banned from European competition this season, this does not alter my opinion that if we cannot keep someone safe because of a situation out of their control, they should not be punished as a result.

Genuine anger towards football fans? That’s what they should be seen as and nothing else.

Thanks all! Reassuring definitely. Will be doing a short run tomorrow morning to set me right for a meeting I have scheduled but will try and rest too. I am not worried about distance but hopefully I’ll be recovered enough to push myself- otherwise I’ll be zone 2ing across the course(not a bad thing given it’s in the Peak District). -

Supposed to run the Monsal Half on the 25th but have got some sort of bug which has completely wiped me out. What are people’s experience with running when ill? Will I be doing myself harm? Make it clear I will be running the half regardless but with running this week -
They do have the Dad’s Army museum though
-
It is the finest city in England.
-
Not just biased by having had family living near there but it’s almost a perfect city for boozing. Ribs of Beef is my favourite
-
Looking forward to some good pubs for Norwich away in November.
-
Yeah that’s a reasonable way to look at it.
-
No just Pearson.

Yeah they do, as do Round Corner and I’m a sucker for Mill Hill because it’s all Leicester/Leicestershire themed. Everards are bringing out a couple of guests every month- there’s nothing Leicestershire/Leicester themed. The branding and marketing all looks like it’s done by AI.
