To be fair GTE, Enfield wasn't the most picturesque place I've been, though an upgrade on Wood Green

Well done Bruce and BP. Plodded round a slow 3.5 miles here today after skiving off last week.

Well done GG. 3.5 miles more than you’d have done sat at home on the couch. Probably both still lagging behind Worthy! Hope you’re feeling better young man. Worthy that is, not GG!Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 11:09 pmWell done Bruce and BP. Plodded round a slow 3.5 miles here today after skiving off last week.

Re: The athletics/running thread
I'd say we look about 8 points off the playoffs mentally factoring in the different number of games played. If that sparks a run and we can win the next 3 winnable games (making 5 in a row) I'll start to believe.
Maddison is a funny one. I can only think he's not their fitness wise. There are flashes of quality but he looks half a yard off most of the time. And hooked at 60 and 70 the last two games. He looks a liability off the ball too.
Like DSB I'd give him one more start before rotating. But Delf and Arthur pushing hard.
Thought Doyle was pretty poor again. Busy and gives his all but we couldn't make it stick for large periods, and we're never going to boss possession for 90 at this level.

That'll teach me for taking the piss out of BWFC-i the other day. At least he got it in the right forum

Re: The athletics/running thread
Impromptu run out last night to a) get out of the built up areas of London for sanity's sake and b) confirm that Stanmore actually exists.
Knee seems better for the most part but the hamstring feels quite weak these days, I suppose from a month of nowt? Tried opening the stride on Tuesday and felt the top of it pull. Still able to jog but would like to get some proper speed in soon. Long road to go anyway.

Re: The athletics/running thread
I'm actually a bit scared to start again. Did a couple of 5-6k.tuns a couple of weeks ago and am only just able to walk normally again with my bad hip.
I'll give it another month
