British league results

Humphries is an awesome talent but has been unlucky with injuries.

keith holt his coach will sort him out hopefully.

phil - why have you left Tipton?

just saw on UKathletics.net about Martin Williams 29:26 10km in Toronto. Can't believe they are listing it as the #1 UK time for the year.

10k Course

Canada's EASIEST and one of the fastest downhill 10k's, it runs right down the middle of Canada's most famous street—Yonge Street!

Whether you are a novice looking for the easiest course around to complete your first 10k or a seasoned veteran setting that new PB, this is the event for you! Sign up today and join 9000+ fitness enthusiasts in the dash down Yonge Street.

Course details: The start line is just south of Sporting Life (at Yonge & Castlefield), where the run begins at 8:00am. From there, the course heads south on Yonge Street all the way to Adelaide Street. It then turns east on Adelaide, south on Sherbourne to Lakeshore. The course then goes west along Lakeshore, north on York, west on Bremner, finishing at Grand Trunk Blvd. just east of Roundhouse Park, with the Sky Dome and CN Tower as the backdrop

looked at website, drops 285 ft (87m) from start to finish. Probably worth a minute over 10km

only 10 guys in the steeplechase. FFS! What a pile of shite!

Until you get your lazy arse out there and run faster, then what the f*** do you expect????

Some events were clearly lacking. It looks as though a lot of teams were struggling to cover the bases. When I spoke to our team manager last week we were missing about 7 guys who could run approx 10.5 for 100m.

I've said it on another thread but a lot of this is about a nonsense of a fixture list.

Why is BUSA and the first BAL on the same weekend? You couldn't do better if you were trying to stop either getting coverage, prestige or any chance of meaningful sponsorship.

As a sport we're cutting our own throat.

PS. Phil - you're still Tipton but gone Higher Claim for BAL right? Good run.

Yea still tipton- always will be, just gone higher claim with SBH to get a run out in the British leagues-- wanted that extra option of quality races should i need them, plus its the GF's club so was nice to run for a london based club i train at now and again. Yea, with regards to training i feel that i have- at last- got the balance right- nothing major, other than the input of a new coach who has made me work on my weaknesses, and promoted the benefits of consistent sessions and "healthy" mileage. As mentioned i do 90% of the training with mart, again something which has worked well for us both. Hope all is well with you mr barber, when u putting the track spikes on?

just pointing out that it's downhill. Are we resorting to illegitimate courses to pad our rankings. Not saying it wasn't a good run, just that the course is vertical

downhill or not- it was a good run, stop over- evaluating stuff, just accept the time and move on. All of those rankings will be revised soon anyway.

good to hear you're still with the green and whites. i know everyone there is proud of you. well run at the weekend.

heard overall ran 64.+ for the half marathon at the weekend, also did a 3.48 1500m on the saturday. Maybe the states is the way forward?

"how to be a 7 minute miler"

i kid you not

The philosophy of this magazine and others like it is part of the reason things are the way they are. They make it ok "just to take the easy option". I know how to be a 7 minute miler.....just cross train 4 times a week!

On another note. Good to see Curtis Robb stretching his legs at the BAL old 3rd div. Still got somthing in those legs.

What haperned with the 5k?

Who was the guy that thought he had won?

Some Kenyan guy sprinted the last 300 with Phil. I'm not sure if he stopped or just walked the last lap.

see they have the invite list up for the 10k champs at Watford. 55 invitees total. If 30 of those show up there should be some good performances. It's just a matter of getting a large group of lads pushing the pace
