My slide down the table during Feb and March was similar to the Albion's. Thankfully they've turned things round but mine continues, it looks like the Gaffa will be next to glide past. No running for me for ten weeks (due to a knee problem), now it's the start of a long slog back.

Not sure. I thought that the younger you are, the more insulting the word git became. So I looked it up. I think all the definitions mentioned in the first paragraph have probably always applied to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(slang)

That's good, we're covered for a good few years. And we still have words like incredibly, phenomenally, disgustingly, etc. in reserve for later.

Have these 'git' designations (old, very old) been formally agreed on here? If so, what's next?

Don't ever give up . . .

Yes. On what I thought was a freezing cold evening. Until I read Badger 's run report.

I did last week's 5 mile Prom Run in 39:12 knocky1. I think that's an AG of 75.27.

Note the desire for accuracy from a nine-year-old. Rotherham wore red shorts.

I do.I was there. And I'm only 71! I was also at most of the matches mentioned so far. Apart from that epic night at Highbury, the others that stand out in my memory are both Walton games and the 0-0 at Aldershot.

A belated Happy Birthday to you, GNT. The AG gift is one that keeps on giving! My year: a total of 1920 miles. Low: the cancellation of events that I'd been looking forward to for a long time. High: the return of my local cross country league - there aren't many sporting events like this...

It's a pity they haven't yet perfected power meters for runners. Stryd seems to account for gradients pretty well and, to a degree, wind. But I don't think it can recognize the negative impact of poor running surfaces. On a road surface, with a steady (and not too strong) wind, it can help to...

Eventually it gets easier, guys. Now, with just Mrs Ted and me in the house to irritate each other, absences tend to be encouraged. When I returned from an hour's run this morning, I was greeted with "you weren't out for long".

I don't know of a definitive list. I tend to use https://www.runbritain.com/races which is quite comprehensive. I also use https://www.goodrunguide.co.uk/RaceDiary.asp?Month=12&Year=2021 as well as https://runabc.co.uk/ The latter has this - https://www.windingpaths.uk/final-countdown/...

I sweat much less now that I'm older. That might just be because I've slowed down, but it could be that I now make sure I am properly warmed up before doing anything strenuous. Without a good warm up I used to sweat profusely, even in January with just one layer on. I suspect that, without a...

I missed telling you knocky1 about my 38:51 chip time in last month's 5M Weston Prom Run. I think that's AG 75.95%.

Well done for your PB! With the exception of the likes of Artie, I think most will have slowed in the last 12K.

Great running Artie Fufkin Well done! How's the recovery going?

Ah! I wrongly thought all the HM runners, including elite, went later. I see that the elite runners in both races had the same coloured numbers, so quite reasonable for all of them to think they were all in the same race and that explains why a marshal didn’t stop Omar making the mistake. So...

Yes, but the other HM runners didn’t know they were running against him. Both courses pretty well followed the 10K course, with common start and finish lines. The difference was an 11K out and back diversion at 1K for HM runners. There were about half a dozen waves about 30 mins apart, with...
