It will be a Kyle hattrick for me. :thumbsup: If I wasn't living in his ward, I'd be more inclined to vote for the Liberal Democrats to try and block Brexit leaning parties. But as it goes, Kyle is my MP.

I've had a look at the course, it should be very comfortable to pace the 2:20 consistently, my concern with pacing is always about the course - you don't want to get caught out by an unexpected hill! I don't think it'll be a problem for you on saturday with the promenade course they run. I...

I have done so far - I do think I'll end up doing the STE set one year at least for the full set of medals. For now though, I don't think it's the best idea. I understand why my mate wants me to get involved in the Cross Country races, they're cheap for starters which is a bonus! And he thinks...

I passed through 1,400 miles today - I've got one eye on Brighton marathon already but I have a few shorter term goals as well. I'm kicking around the idea of getting involved in the Cross Country racing going on. I think it would have huge benefits but there are downsides to it. I'm not a...

Similar to me in that it had not quite happened before - I think I was closest in 2017 but last year I was nowhere. I'll probably get to 1,600 miles this year (also touching wood and crossing fingers!) which I think is probably about right. 2,000 miles in a calendar year is probably the most I'd...

We were talking about this at work yesterday, and the usual suspects popped up with the usual, "it's bad for your knees!". There's no proof that's the case and I threatened to invite both yourself and knocky1 to pop in and give a talk about still being fit and firing as more mature gentlemen! I...

What does that actually MEAN? It's a very sweeping and doom and gloom statement, but does it actually mean anything?

I think you described it perfectly - it's just a bonkers stadium! I've never seen terraces built on the roof of houses over the road before! And that's on two sides of the ground. Bizarre. And ****ing freezing in the wind!

Unless there's a clear reason not to, give the goal. If you need to look at something a dozen times, it's not clear and therefore, it's not a reason to deny a goal. Firmino's goal was perfect, look at it once, put up the lines and then decide there's no reason to disallow the goal so overrule...

I did spot the 16 minute time, pretty handy to say the least! I've checked my two "performances" in Bournemouth (27th and 87 respectively having missed the start both times!) and he wasn't present at either. Not that he needed to be, I was getting slaughtered by the elderly this year, carrying a...

Now, I'm not having a pop. But there have been weeks that no women have shown up to that parkrun and there have been 6 (SIX) occasions where there was just 1 parkrunner, and 2 volunteers! :lolol: 45:50 has been a winning time, as has 45:40. :lolol:

I'm not sure why the website changes so often - the amount of investment that must be going into it isn't really necessary I don't think. The layout is fine, it's essentially moving away from the default view being race statistics. It wouldn't surprise me if they eventually have an option not to...

I ran a bit of a stinker - I think I was too keen to run from the front and I died one hell of a death. Each mile was slower than the previous, I found it really uncomfortable and never got into stride. I think I was outside the top 10 in 19:07, I didn't actually look at the token as the...

:goal: Clearly the voice of reason on this subject. Fireworks are ridiculous, great for kids and adults of a certain IQ but what a load of rubbish. They terrify animals as well, as a key point - they're just an absolute waste of time. It's not for me, Clive.

A good couple of days running for me - I ran a 7 miler yesterday in 6:57 per mile average pace - I was targeting 7 minutes per mile. I don't usually train at that sort of pace over that distance, and it was after a tough leg session on wednesday prior to a nice gentle 7 miler. I went out on my...

This is a great debate and will rumble on - but there's another angle I'm not sure has been discussed yet. Does Keogh not have ground to sue either Bennett or Lawrence or both?

Which is a reasonable argument and I'm sure they'll make the case that, as the captain and the most experienced player in the group, he should have set a better example. I'm sure they're as confident about their reasoning and justification as the Albion were when Gus got the bullet. But looking...

But that is spectacularly not the point. The man has a contract and has been treated totally differently from the other players involved in the incident. It's not "whataboutism" to say that they set precedent by fining Bennett and Lawrence, and have treated Keogh completely differently by...

Glorious idea - you see Stat, you throw enough out there, eventually one will be a winner. :thumbsup: Left Foot: Paul Watson Right Foot: Elliott Bennett Finishing: Bobby Zamora Footballing Brain: Bruno Vision: Vicente Strength: Liam Bridcutt Speed: William Buckley Passing: Davy Pröpper...

This is magnificent, I spent an unnecessary amount of time looking through all of mine yesterday. :thumbsup: Thanks for posting it - more stats for us nerds to enjoy!
