Risso

Yeah, really nice course. Despite living 20 minutes from Leicester I'd never been to Abbey Park before, and it was really lovely. My daughter did it in 59:58, and she was aiming for sub 1hr so got in by the very tiniest of margins. I wanted sub 55 mins and did in a couple of seconds under as well, so all good!

Just sent a small amount over mate, best of luck!

Dosn't matter mate, it's considered running by us. It's also a lot faster than sitting at home on your bum watching Netflix!

Ah that would have been good mate. Saw one brave lass there in a Villa shirt. Me and my daughter who was running as well gave her an ‘Up the Villa’! How did your missus get on?

I first started Couch to 5K about 8 years ago. I was monumentally unfit and about 18 stone. The time I did the first day of the first week, I ended up puking my ring up after about 10 minutes. I couldn't even bend down to tie my shoe laces without wheezing and being out of breath. But just build up slowly and gradually. C25K is great, and once you finish it and can run 5K without stopping, you can use that as the building blocks to go forward. Fast forward 8 years I'm now in my 50s, 5 stone lighter and absolutely love running. I'll probably never be that quick at the longer distances, especially nowhere the times the likes of CV on here can achieve, but I'm happy gradually improving and just getting out there. You'll also find that running is a brilliant social sport, and just about every runner I've met has been sound.

Anfield still is, not sure what your point is.

No, not for me I'm afraid. Aston is an absolute shithole, with very few redeeming features.

On the other hand, imagine scoring the goal to win a game in front of 60,000 people in a new stadium, that wins us the league. Or being able to buy a drink or go for a piss at half time.

Given the company involved, and the background of the individuals appointed, this is very strongly pointing to NSWE looking at a major development, ie huge multi use development with a new stadium. Hopefully that's what they're planning, anyway.

Wordle 1,031 2/6* Was fairly certain that was going to be a two, and boom, back in the room.

Without knowing how old you are and anything about injuries etc, I reckon you probably could, it'd just take an awful lot of hard work and your life might not be able to accommodate that, I know mine wouldn't. My aim is to get down to as close to a 20 minute 5K as I can. A few years ago, I was stuck around 28/29 minutes, but all I did was run 5Ks. Once I started trianing properly and constantly, the times really started coming down.

I’d absolutely love to ‘fail’ that quickly!

Did the Leicester Big 10K today, good fun, around Abbey Park in the city centre.

There were the NTL (whooooo?) investment in clubs like Villa as well.

New parkrun PB today, 23:27.

Wordle 1,029 3/6* Gah, so near to a massive spawn!

I don't think there's much chance of us keeping him, and neither should we. When Buendia and Ramsey are fit, they'll be competing with Rogers for the same sort of positions on the pitch. Zaniolo's not getting a game ahead of those three.

Harry Kane got 21 goals in his first full season in the Premier league, aged 21. Other than that, fair point!

Congratulations on the weight loss mate, keepi it going. As RDS says below, maybe look to do some exercise that's less hard on the joints than running, until you get the final 3 stone off. As you get closer to the target, you can start upping your running. 3 stone is still quite a bit to be carrying if you're hitting the roads, imagine putting 21 bags of sugar in a ruck sack and jogging around with that on, it's all going to impact on your joints, ie back, hips, knees and ankles. Once you get down to your target weight, as you rightly say, start at a relatively easy distance like 3K, then increase that gradually up by about 10% a week. I properly knackered my ankles and back a few years ago by trying to run too much before I'd lost weight, but now with the wegith gone it's much, much easier. Try to mix in some strength and conditioning and mobility work, it all helps massively.

Good luck mate, I’m sure it will be brilliant! Did the London Landmarks half yesterday, first time me and my daughter Izzi have run that far. Weather was an annoying mix of bright sun and ferocious wind. Got round in 2:12. Would have liked closer to 2:00 but we were in a slow wave with a very packed start and the wind was brutal.
