I wasn't happy when he was first appointed, but I'm pretty much over that now - Just desperate for a bit of positivity around the club. We're doing pretty well at chopping out some of the rot, but there's still a way to go. If we can keep doing it though and bring in some hungry players at the same time, he may have a chance this season.

I still play this and he scored against my Forest Green team the other week. It's a yes from me.

Lovely send off on the website.

Pretty pleased with this.

I saw that too. In full training gear and working with the fitness coaches. I guess he just has the keys to Seagrave now...and rightly so to be fair!

Obviously you're right, but any striker who has been 'prolific' recently probably isn't going to fancy coming to us? ...when you consider we have no money or future prospects, I think we have to take what we can get!

Hard 30 minute effort at lunch time for me today...pretty miserable in the heat but another box ticked I guess. Straight into the kids paddling pool when I got home - Got the body temp down nicely!

I think in general his performances were around mid-table Championship level, yes.

He's on the right lines if he's serious and not just doing it for the cameras. This lot shouldn't even see a ball for the next 3 weeks - I would genuinely get them running 4 hard sessions/week and seeing which ones survive!

Mid table Championship level midfielder. Worth around £4m at an absolute maximum, bit less would be fairer - The money we paid for him is absolutely criminal.

How good is Run Ric Run It just ended and nobody even commented on it - Best one so far!

Bit hot and sticky for my 10k this morning, but somehow managed 2nd place. Winner came in not much over 30 minutes so was way behind him, but still really pleased with how I ran. Went out a bit too hard as usual but just about held it together over the last 2 miles!

30 minutes pretty hard followed by 4 x 90s very hard for me this afternoon. Pretty tough but enjoyed it. Even thinking about entering a 10k next Sunday!

We’re just not a serious club anymore. Hard to get annoyed about it, the whole thing is a comedy act at this point.

I can imagine - Body must be furious with you I ran 15:37, but that was 11 years ago now so it barely counts as a PB! Really trying to go under 16 minutes again at the moment as I haven't done that for 10 years. Had a go 2 weeks ago at parkrun but missed it by 12 seconds. I was on my own so maybe could have gone a bit quicker with some competition but not sure...I was fully on the pain train and hanging on for dear life after about 1k!

Cheers. I don't really have any accomplishments to speak of as other than the odd parkrun I don't race anymore! I have been training pretty hard recently so I might do the odd race this year. I'm quite a way off even being considered sub-elite though...absolutely miles off 'elite'! You must have some pretty special DOMS by today? I have so many little niggles that that sort of distance would absolutely ruin me...it's an impressive achievement.

Just saw this on the FT Strava - Phenomenal effort

What did we pay for him? £1 million? It's up there with the Mahrez and Vardy deals for me - Great servant and one of our best ever players.

My local Parkrun is pretty much completely shaded so the heat wasn’t too bad this morning. Out at 7 am latest for the next two days though!

Just nice at 6 AM this morning...don't fancy it any warmer! Got a hard effort planned at Parkrun tomorrow morning...not going to be fun.

Ouch - Those stress levels whilst sleeping are not ideal! I guess your HRV tanked as well? I'm a geek for the Garmin data aswell...can't help it!

Up to 21 degrees before 9 AM on Monday apparently. Bit warm!

Yeah great session - Short one but tough when you don't get 'proper' recoveries between the efforts.

The 'grabbed by the jeffries sessions' are the ones that really move the needle fitness-wise for me - Intervals of a km and below. Massive benefits to running form, economy and VO2max. Traditional 5km training would benefit any Marathon block IMO - Just make it a bit more miserable

3.59 marathon is brutal due to the sheer time on feet. I love running but can barely comprehend running for that length of time...horrible. The sub 20 would be more impressive in your example though, as I guess people with that 5k time would be ~3:15 in the marathon.
