I’m doing that one as well! It was the downhill first mile and flat course that made me do it! -

I was at Market Bosworth as well today and had a really good morning. Spent the whole time chatting away and was nice not to ‘run’ this morning. Off out again tonight and doing a self navigated, no electronic devices 5 miler. Could be interesting followed by XC tomorrow -
My dad used to have his LCFC memorabilia up at home but mum moaned so much he had to take it all down! The one piece I’ve got my eye on is an autographed Steve Walsh picture of him turning away celebrating after scoring in the 1994 play off final V Derby.

Managed my fastest parkrun of 2024 today over in Wolverhampton. Really annoyed at myself as I didn’t have time to do a warm up and I then stayed behind another runner for too long. Just over 90 seconds over my 2019 PB so I’m hopeful I can get back near there soon. New trainer day as well….went with the Nike Zoom Fly 6. Impressed with them today and for the first time in a long time the legs felt good. -

Jacob Blyth. Signed from Leamington, did great in the development squad then seemingly disappeared. Married the Holly chick from Geordie Shore but never quite hit the highs in football. -

Must be something in the Hinckley air! People wonder why a) I go out early and b) run solo around Wykin/Stoke Golding! Many a field has been visited. Following a bout of Covid, training plan has started ready for my half in April, May marathon and summer ultras -
Manchester United 3 - 0 Leicester City - Post Match Thread
waddadamadda replied to SecretPro's topic in Leicester City Forum
Stating the obvious here but the need for an actual proven goal scorer who can play with or without JV is surely a priority?!! I have said for a while and others may not agree however I honestly feel that we are one maybe two players from being a capable side. -

In my opinion Long Eaton is faster and better than both Abbey Park & Watermead -

I love parkrun as you can choose to ‘race’ it or just dick about. I normally choose the latter Ran my 132nd parkrun today and 80th different location. 1st in age category and 11th female so can only assume that the fast runners had the day off -

You might enjoy but it didn’t do anything for me. I really like Warwick Half which is February as it’s not like a normal sh**ty RunThrough event where there’s loads of out and backs. There’s a hill around the 10/11 mile mark but the alpacas give you motivation. There’s also a rapid 2 miles pretty much downhill to the finish as a reward. -

I think it’s the same route as the September one and it’s as boring as f**k. The worst part was running past the finish, down a hill, then around and back up the same hill to the finish. -

I swear by Runna. PB’d at half distance and twice at marathon distance using their plans. Yes they cost but the plans are based upon your data so adjust accordingly during training. -
Still holding out for 2 x tickets (1 adult, 1 u16 or 2 adults) as I don’t think it’ll make Thursday

Warwick Half in February is decent -
Southampton 2 - 3 Leicester POST MATCH

As I said in the build up, I was chilled about this one. Not at any point today was I going home at half time and not once was I negative about Ayew -

I don’t know why but I feel strangely chilled about this one. -

Standard kind of Run Through event where they fit 13.1 miles into a 2 mile radius. There’s a really beautiful part of the course as you head out to Wymeswold but the bit at the airfield both at the start and finish is mind numbing. You must cover at least 5 miles on the airfield. Hoping this works and you can see the map…..you’re more than welcome to find my strava and have a look at the route properly. It’s a race where I completely di**ed around and fell out with my friend along the way. -

Tunnel Vision runs are great! Is the Prestwold one the Run Through event? -
The new announcer feels a bit corporate and not as likeable as the other dude.

The finish at Northampton takes the absolute utter pi*s. That bit along with the steps at Sixfields. -

After being sent home from work with the lurgy on Friday and spending yesterday in bed, I dropped down to the 10K. (Didn’t want to miss out on the t shirt or lose money) Dragged my sorry a*s around in 55 minutes and thanks to a chap being a dick at the start of New Walk, nearly vommed at the finish. Managed to run consistent miles and they only dipped as I stopped for a drink. I’ll take that today. -

I have a few pairs…. Mizuno Wave Rider 26 - cost £31 - for an every day shoe Saucony Ride 17 - parkrun shoe when not chasing time Saucony Ride Trail 15 - my light trail shoe Nike Air Zoom Tempo Next% - on their last few runs but used for faster parkrun/half marathon/marathon shoe Nike Vaporfly - for the odd occasion when o fancy a fast, flat, tarmac run. This is where I must point out that I have 4 x Runners Need 50% discount every year through my health insurance! Plus I buy last seasons shoes. On the lookout for a new race shoe so I I’ll be taking a trip to Derby Runner soon.
