Commentshello fellow owls, this is alan gaylor!!! i havent seen much of you lot for a while. in my brief retirement (through a groin injury), i have been busy studying the effects of the so called 'wedgy', of which i sustained at the infamous belgium trip three years ago!! i do not want to go into graphic detail as the injury, or even the thought of what the injury could be, may well cause offense to many. to cut a long winded message down, i was wondering who has got the remains of my underwear from the knight in question (dec22 '99') if anyone has any details please contact either wayne walker or myself< the underwear in question could be the key to solving the extent to which my 'injury', will effect my life. cheers lads ALAN GAYLORxxxx
CommentsAlright boys! Having read the comments addressed to Mr. Turlington, I feel I have been unfairly placed in a category which is unforfitting and 'slightly' unaccurate. These anomolies are based on the comments written on the 6/01/2002 at 3:49.09pm by a certain 'Grease Monkey'. He states that having run '53.2 4x200 @24.8ave 4x400 @55 1.54.5 3.55.6 8.40 15.17 54mins -10miles in training 73mins for a tough 1/2 mara longest run :6hrs 40 mins ' (Grease Monkey:2002), he should be considered for higher ranking than Messrs mapp,falkner,boyce,oneill,siddon,you,parker,shute,ard,schmitt,Mcdowell etc,etc. This may well be the case for Mr mapp,falkner,boyce,oneill,siddon,you,parker,shute,schmitt,Mcdowell and others but certainly not the case for Mr Ard. Based on identical/similar sessions performed before my collapsed arches injury(from which I have suffered from for 7+ years) I would like to correct these indifferences and offer my ommission from the above group.The sessions and pb's performed are: 400m:50.9 secs (in training after a 1000m& 8 150m hill reps - April 2002) 800m:1:53.2 (June and July 2001) 1500m:3:55.2 (March 2001!) 3000m:No time 5000m:No time for track 10 miles:52 mins 36 secs (Training run with Gareth Turnbull among others!) 6x200m@3mins recov:24.3 av (April 2002 four days after lifting 115kg front squats)rep breakdown=24.7,24.5,24.2,24.6,24.1,23.9 4x400m@5mins:54.2 (June 2001 with Alastair Donaldson and Chris Moss)Rep breakdown=53.2,53.2,54.6,55.8 I think this shows conclusive proof that the mentioned statement above is totally unfounded. If further prove is required, just work out what the projected times I should run using any running formula. Paul Ard
CommentsP.S. Did you like my break-dancing Chris and Theo?! Ardy
CommentsWell well Mr Ard. What a suprise, shouldn't you be out training with Gareth Turnbull?!?! With reference to your last message, i can see that your stats just out do The Grease Monkeys with the exception of the long run and the half marathon. I would like to point out that your best performances were achieved while competing for the OWLS. Since then Whats gone wrong??? I could write a lot more on this matter Mr Ard, but i cant be ******. See u soon Turlo
CommentsWith reference to your above message Mr Turlington: 1.You know that I am currently injured with collapsed arches but do have orthotics on the way-what's your excuse? 2.It may be true that I was COMPETING for the OWLS when I obtained pbs but I had actually changed into TRAINING with Mr George Gandy's group. 3.My stats might just outdo 'Grease Monkeys' but your stats do not even come close-I can use the injury excuse just as well as you considering, as stated before, I had had collapsed arches for 7 years+! Paul Ard p.s.you going out on thursday?lol
CommentsDate: 6/4/2002 Time: 10:21:31 PM i would like to divert to peoples attention the message i left on the date shown above! i feel very strong about the incendent in question and i am still interested on peoples thoughts, please repond!!!!!!!!!! alan gaylor
Commentssir gaylor of mount Braunstone, the remnants of your underpants are on my mantle piece in the midlands best overall trophy, which should have been given (and will be given) to some other mid team last year.These are now in the owls archives as an artifact, they will only see the light of day when one of our squads again wins the national xc champs. So you may se them next year if everyone gets to grips and gets the miles in... you to can help in this quest. Consider your undies as a type of holy grail which may find themselves catapulted into myth and obscurity unless we again show we have the athletes to be the best in the uk! are you available to help at the youth games next sunday 23 june at lough uni? TURLO,KENTYX2,TAYLOR,RUSS,WEBBO(IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE),MR MILES,JOSH,LUKE,SMIGGY,RYAN,HERMAN.ALL FOURS,EL DOYLE X2, VINCE,BOYCEY,ONEILL,ASH,TURLO,THE BETTLES.ETCETC CAN YOU LOT HELP OUT ALSO..TEE SHIRT AND GOOD GRUB AVAILABLE AND A FEW GOOD JOKES AS USUAL. LET ME KNOW ASAP ON 07973-824638. I KNOW IVE FORGOT A COUPLE OF DOZEN BUT I HAVENT GOT ALL DAY. WW
CommentsWith reference to Mr Ard's last message, I understand that you have had many injury problems over the last few years but I feel that it is unfair ask me what my excuse is for not competing over the last few years. Theres no excuse, theres 1 simple fact, i've been injured! Its not like I havent tried to get it fixed, ive invested around �1500 on having treatment and seeing specialists and the problems are still there, what more can i do?!?! But i can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and im convinced that we (me, wayne, physio's etc) have got my injury by the balls and are beggining to twist! I would like to wish you the best in getting your current injury problems sort and also the other people out there who are injured (Doyle's, Kents etc). I. T.
CommentsRE:Mr Turlington's last message I was only illustrating the point that there is always another reason as to why people get injured and has taken me seven years to find my current problem. Who knows, maybe it will be something completely different(I trust physio's as much as I trust a megalomaniac with a nuclear missile!!)You'll probably have to look that last comment up Turls!lol!only joking mate!! Mr Ard
CommentsIF CYBERGEEKS TURLO AND ARDY PUT AS MUCH EFFORT IN TO THEIR TRAINING AS THEY DO THEIR MESSAGES THEY COULD BE QUITE GOOD. IN CONNECTION TO WAYNE'S COMMENT ON TURLO, I DIDN'T THINK ARDY COULD WRITE SO CONCISE EITHER. ANYWAY I'VE DEFINETELY GOT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO. THE FRANKLIN. LOVIN IT, AUSTRALIA. P.S TELL CRIPIN HE'S DEAD WHEN I GET BACK. P.P.S YOU DON'T TRAIN FASTER THAN THAT HEMINGWAY.
CommentsMr Ard I'm not suprised your've become a cyber geek when you do a crappy course at uni that involves 6 hours of lectures a week, why dont you become a real man a do a course like mine that involves a whole 8 hours a week! Ps. have u got ur orthotics yet? give me a shout when you do. IT
CommentsReagards the Nab time trial- YOU'LL NEVER BEAT MY RECORD - HA HA HA HA Parker

CommentsBloody hell that sounds a bit harsh! All of this is don't mean jack anyway because you all know that once I finally get through my injury nightmare im gonna destroy every club record, and thats just for starters! Bring back the glory days! Ian T
Commentsyes bad bhoys this is james chipendale!!!! i have nor seen you boys for a long period of time! i have now got a job as an IT engineer at MARCONI. yeah bet you didnt see that coming!
Comments‘OWLS BATTLE BRAVE’ The Owls senior men’s squad took a somewhat depleted team to the national division five athletics league meet in Hereford. Having come third and second in the previous two meets, the squad stood in good stead for promotion. The holiday season took its toll meaning many regular athletes were missing, this meant that the squad that made the long trip to Hereford would have to compete at the best of their ability, in order to stay in the hunt for promotion. The day started well in the fied events with Ben Wells winning the shot put with a throw of 9.90meters, and Jon bailey being narrowly beaten in a jump off in the high jump, with a leap of 1.65 meters. The first track event of the day was the 400meters, which saw Tom Meakin finish second with a time of 55.5 and Theo Boyce finish third B string in a time of 57.7 seconds. The performance of the day came from Vince Schmitt and Dan Doyle, in the 5K, where they produced a double victory. Vince finished first in the A string in a time of 16.18.3 minutes, and Dan won the B string in a time of 17.32.7 minutes. Other notable performances: LJ: A: Ian Turlington 5.24 meters-5th B: Dave Kent 5.13 meters-5th 1500M: A: Paul Miles 4.19 minutes-2nd B: Dan Doyle 4.19.8 minutes-1st HJ: A: Jon Bailey 1.65 meters- 2nd B: Dan Doyle 1.45 meters-4th 100m: A: Dave Kent 12.2 seconds-6th B: Paul Miles 12.7 seconds-6th 200m: A: Dave Kent 25.5 seconds-5th B: Tom Meakin 25.7 seconds-7th 400m: A: Tom Meakin 55.5 seconds-2nd B: Theo Boyce 57.7 seconds-3rd 2km SC: A: Theo Boyce 6.31.6 minutes-1st B: Jon Parker 7.21.6 minutes-2nd 5K: A: Vince Schmitt 16.18.3 minutes-1st B: Dan Doyle 17.32.7 minutes-1st 800m: A: Tom Meakin 2.05 minutes-3rd B: Paul Miles 2.06.9-4th

CommentsWhilst checking my route for this weekends "Round Leicester Relay" I was negotiating a rural section X country between Shearsby & Arnesby when i came upon a couple obviously out checking other things, he appeared to be trying to inflate her from the rear or something like that any way he was pumping like mad. They took no notice of me as I passed by, I suspect he was concentrating very hard !!! Its a good job they didn't wait until Sunday otherwise they would have had 28 spectators. P.W.

CommentsBut Mr Ard, what if the person who called you a c**t was me?? The fact you have only ever BEATEN ME ONCE ON THE TRACK (not included the time you beat me over the naked 400m we did around the lufbra track at 2.30 in the morning after 15 pints - or 5 in your case) means I can call u what I like! But on this occasion it was not me who called you a c**t, so u may have a point there! Although now im making my comeback, i'm gonna call you a c**t and lay down the gauntlet, I will catch you over any distance cloths on or cloths off, aiiiiiii! When you going back luvbra? I should be back on thurs, so give me a bell or pop round! Ps. Did you get the 8 messeages I left with your mum on saturday? Non of which included the word "C**t"!!!! turls
Commentslets raise the standard of debait by refraining from swearing where poss,innuendo is ok but can we watch the f,b's and c's?(were not at Brussels u know!!) 6 stage team this sat .we are meeting at 11.30am london road station, if you need a lift contact me on 07973-824638 squad so far (and 3 days is a long time in athletics!) MAPP 6 MILES 3 BOYCE 4 BROMLEY 2 SCHMITT 5 FALKNER 1 It would be excellent if we could get some supporters along and i would at least expect those who have ambitions of getting into the A team to make the trip to see who is likely to be first on your hit list out of this 6!( or are they invincible?) We will no doubt be in the mile oak and blue pig on the way back to take the P*** /have some friendly banter with the coritanians (sorry lads) Good luck to the lads on sat, we have had a few problems but we will be giving it our best shot and imsure we will do well.( a medal would go down a treat early season, just to whet the appetite. ww
CommentsThanks Wayne for the comments about the Web site, I'm glad to see the site is getting more and more hits. Also I appreciate your request to the contributors to keep it clean, you may notice I have replaced the occasional swear word with a few **** where appropriate. I don't like interfering but we must remember who else might be logging into the site. I bet you have got lots of info and pics of the recent SOS club expedition lets share them on the site, usual E mail address. Finally good luck with race this weekend a Medal would be a just reward for everyones efforts. Pete Williams (Editor)
CommentsThe 6 stage lads finished 6th which was ok under the circumstances i.e nick mapp ill and 18 YEAR OLD Paul Miles suffering a pulled intercostal whilst running! Ryan Falkner 18.19 Theo Boyce 18.15 Paul Miles 19.20 Vince Schmitt 18.40 Dan Doyle 20.49 Rich Bromley 18.40 It was excellent to see Paul getting into the senior squad and i am sure there are a few more youngsters (some obvious and others not so obvious) who can follow in his footsteps!!

Commentswell done Paul Miles 16th junior and 61st overall in the Reebok challenge at Liverpool in a top quality field. Both Paul and Dave Kent are in full training , motivated and ready to 'look after business' in the coming months. WW
CommentsNEVER MIND THE BO**OCKS. DO THE MILEAGE THAT MEANS 20 MILES RUNS ON SUNDAY NOT 1 HOUR. A.L.
CommentsWhoever Anon is, there is a difference between 'had' commitment and 'has' commitment. Its curious when the hat is thrown into the air and 'general' comments are made about commitment, that some one finds that the hat fits. Lets have less of the talking and more of the doing.Whoever Anon is ,i hope you do 'kick the butts 'of your targets,whoever they may be.It will show a commitment that is lacking in certain areas of the club.I genuinely wish you luck. The positive comments made about Dave and Paul were primarily to provide info (due to the fact that they are at uni) that there are 2 members of the club who are motivated and that they are getting on ok! I can say that anyone who has been a member of this club has ALWAYS been encouraged and supported and i am personally offended by the tone that runs through your message.There are others of course well on track for a good season and putting some good work in ... they get praised also! I am , however ,passed the stage where i grudgingly accept those who perpetually let the club down and take it for granted- i hope you dont fall into this category. Praise has to be earned ,and if people can't stand the heat then they should get out of the kitchen .We can then concentrate on those with a team commitment and proffesional approach.However, if you have something to offer , lets get on with it! If you would like to contact me on 07973-824638 we can discuss the commitment required and any other concerns you may have. My personal commitment to regular team members and dedicated athletes is TOTAL and always has been- irrespective of ability.I challenge anyone to question that. WAYNE WALKER
CommentsA plea from the Web editor to anyone who is contemplating joining in the debates aired on this chat page. PLEASE HAVE THE DECENCY TO OWN YOUR COMMENTS BY INCLUDING YOUR NAME and lets have less of this "anon" crap. Peter Williams.
CommentsDear Anon, Appologies accepted, though i wasnt looking for any. Good luck in your quest to 'kick the butts' of your targets.If and when it happens, you will i am sure, be inspired and inspiring... I hope this can be channelled into the team.We need all the commitment,humility and sense of team responsibility we can get, if and when we become the best in the country! GOOD LUCK WW
CommentsAlright sheisters, Neil 'All 4's' Carter here. Just been reading some of the comments. I agree with Wayne on "stop talking about making a come back and kicking everybodies ass, just get training and get on with it". Also, I agree that the club isn't baised to top-notch athletes, I'm not going to beat Ryan and the like (at least not for a week or so), but I still get abuse(I mean support) from coaches/athletes. Cheers to the best coaches/athletes/piss-artists in the land!! Neil.
CommentsCheers Neil the fivers in the post, and with due RESPECT to Pete Williams with whom i wholeheartedly agree. I reckon Anon's follow up comment was as funny as ****! I bet it even made you smile didnt it Pete -even though you were on the recieving end mate!!? ANON, I mean WW.
CommentsNever mind the Bo**ocks,get training!! Competition is in itself a mere extenssion of the DOJO athlete's life, not the ulimate reason he is training. We do not run to be praised. The door must be opened and the run started. How many of these egotist have completed 80 miles plus this week? Make training a sacrament. Nakamura.
CommentsIts time we had some more info to include on the SOS page, Wayne and the boys must have taken some pics etc. lets have another story to warm us up during the long winter nights, over to you Wayne. Pete W.
CommentsCould'nt agree more 'Nakurmura',8o miles a week is praise enough! ww
Comments6 stage senior mens team 26th - 5th midland team ,not bad... could have finished about 11th at best. Thanks for all those who turned out i appreciated your effort on the day. Now can every athlete in the club take an individual responsibility to get the necessary training done.We can then stop being a team with 'tremendous potential'and start becoming a squad that achieves great things. We have the ability and a fantastic competitive spirit so lets get on with it. ww
CommentsAgree TM
CommentsBradgate Park Sunday am . I was there,Dan Doyle was there via motorcycle and Francine Bray was there.Where the***** were all the other wannabies? ww
CommentsDoing 20 miles thank you A.L
CommentsWell done 'A.L' but since i dont know who you are im not entirely sure you are part of this debate; though i do appreciate the fact that you were doing 20miles. In other words you were getting on with training.Since when did standard practice become newsworthy?! ww ps Jason Williams was there also.
CommentsCan i refer 'AL', 'ANON','NAKAMURA' ETC.. and any other past and future pseudonym to the message i displayed on the 23rd and 25th of October.Progress as an individual athlete in a club environment is very simple. Put the work in,honour your commitments , communicate when things are going wrong/not to your liking,put your hand up when you have messed up.Gripes are there to be sorted but im trying my best to ensure that individuals do not continously take the club for granted...Someone has to dont they?!If your not training or racing with the club what are you doing?And if you are, why havent you talked through any probs? This is my last correspondence on the issue. Please contact me on my mob all the best.
CommentsNot sure who you refer to when you say 'boss', but as you follow my comments it looks like you are talking to me?I havent got the power to delete or moderate any messages as i have nothing to do with the site. As i dont know what the message was i cant comment on whether or not it should have been deleted?!What i do know however is that there is a mobile number and an email number available for you to use and this takes less energy than what we have had so far. So maybe you can contact me on that-no strings attached, if you are serious about your intentions, whatever they are. If you just wanted to publicly let off steam in this continuing soap opera i suppose thats fair enough as well... but its wasting time and the seasons getting on a bit, so can i please hear of your concerns. ww
CommentsTo Anon and all other contributors to this chat page. The Club and its elected Officials are more than willing to listen to and react to both your criticisms and suggestions but you will be taken more seriously if you are honest and man enough to identify yourself so that we can address your individual needs. Both Wayne and I put our names to our contributions and are willing to identify ourselves so show us the same common courtesy. I am the only person who has the mandate and facility to alter or amend entries on this site not Wayne. So come on lets have your contributions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sounds like the seniors did very well in the B.ham league at the weekend, good start to the season boys. Hope you get on ok at the weekend - very impressive line up! Is it true that there have been sightings of the Grease Monkey running round Bradgate Park in recent weeks? Good luck with the comeback Wayne! No good new on the injury front from myself, was back on crutches 2 weeks ago, so hopefully things will improve! Ps. I got mugged in Nottingham 3 weeks ago - money and phone were taken!

CommentsYes Tim I believe a number of OWLS have entered. I have entered the half marathon my training isn't up to the Full 26 miles just, although I have sent off my entry to next years London Marathon Regards Peter williams
CommentsBrussels is 21-23 Dec, i will be at the Leicesater Marathon strangely enough, we have a girl in the 1/2 with a good chance of doing well. 1 wont mention her name for fear of embarrassment but just look at the results at the end...! See you there Tim. WW

CommentsMainy!GOOD OLD MAINY!How are you mate?!How about a comeback?!We could do with you in the 12 stage team .I can defineately vouch for your traffic wardening skills but even you need to take re-training courses from time to time and guess what?

CommentsHello again Coach! For a moment there I thought that I was an Athlete but then I woke up hey! Things have been busy on the personal front, got married to Roz last year and now have twin boys called 'Tim & Craig'! Ok I am obviously joking about the twins. But I have missed the crack with the lads and it's about time that I showed my face so maybe I will within the next couple of weeks. Not sure about Brussels though mate, now that I am a married man it's much harder to get a pass! Take Care ALL and will speak again soon. The Main Man

And then we need to move on from that BASE. OUR 11TH TEAM PLACING AT THE NATIONAL XC RELAYS WAS EXCELLENT AND ACKNOWLEDGED AS SUCH BY THE ORGANISERS (which was very much appreciated as its nice to get some recognition to make up for the lack of local support) BUT WE HAD THE USUAL SQUAD OF: MAPP,BOYCE,FALKNER AND BROMLEY. CAN'T ANYONE OUT THERE CHALLENGE THESE PUSSES FOR A TEAM SELECTION!!?? MOST OF THIS LOT ARE ON COMEBACKS! I HOPE THERE ISNT A SUB-CULTURE OF WHIMPS OPERATING WITHIN THE CLUB. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE PRODUCING IT, GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WHO ARE ON COMEBACKS FROM INJURY AND ALSO TO THOSE JUNIORS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SNR COMPETITONS. THE REST OF YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE... LETS GET OUR ACTS TOGETHER PLEASE. WW
CommentsWITH A 3.30 MARATHON YOU WILL NEED A LONG FOOT TO KICK MY ASS DORAN w.w
CommentsWayne, I think we should put some money on this, how about �20 on the 10k race in Brussels that I kick your ass by at least 3 minutes or are you just going to be nursing a hang over!! Plus can you start letting me know about some of the races so I can make a full comeback and beat the likes of Boyce, Falkner, mapp etc Cheers Doran
Commentsthis web sites brilliant! -------------------------------------------- yes but who are you ??????
CommentsI dont drink tim and i will be fulfilling my role as a coach! w.w.
CommentsAlright Lads/ Wayne. It's Wes Mason here. I've just recently got back into training and was wondering if there was any spaces left for the Brussels?
CommentsOnly joking wayne, the websites looking good at the moment tho. Cheers, Milo.
CommentsYour Sick Miles!
CommentsWho were these irrelevent teams that were ahead of us in the Birmingham League then? They weren't that irrelevent because they came ahead of us!?! Editor's note ( Come on lets have a name)
CommentsLough and B'ham uni allcomers. ww To ME they are irrelevant as i dont consider them to be clubs in the 'purest' sense of the word and come the major club championships they have been known to fall away somewhat.Though i acknowledge they are there to be beaten and i wish them well. Hopefully (whoever you are )you are putting the work in to see that we have a better chance of doing this.My view is that there ought to be a separate trophy for uni teams in events such as the Bham lge and other major champs whether this is practical i dont know. I believe they have an unfair advantage due to the availability of athletes from a range of clubs.Appologies for apparently ignoring the fact that they ARE there to be beaten and of course victory will be sweeter when we do. ANYONE THATS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLUB ATHLETICS ,WITH A PHILOSOPHY OF DEVELOPING JUNIORS THROUGH TO THE SENIOR RANKS, WITHOUT THE RELIANCE ON 'IMPORTS', WILL UNDERSTAND THIS NOTION.Though i accept the terms 'pure'and 'fair' are open to debate and maybe a little out of date in the current climate of our sport.If you have a different opinion maybe you could set it up as a debate on our discussion page? all the best WW
CommentsI have introduced the Discussion Page to this site to give you the visitor a more structured approach to commenting on the comings and goings etc. both within the club and athletics in general. It will enable us to group together input on a particular topic and speed up searching through all the previous entries. Have a look at it, there are already two topics posted for replies. This then will allow the chat page to continue in a more general way. I hope you like this additional feature, but again I would put out a plea to OWN your comments and include your name. Peter Williams Web Editor
CommentsIf anyone has missed out on entering this Sundays Leicester 1/2 Marathon and still wants to run it, then contact me urgently. I have a entry number etc but have been unwell this week and look like missing out, it would be a shame to waste it as its already paid for ( you can have it free if you are an OWLS member) You can E mail me on [email protected] Peter Williams Web Editor
CommentsThis is a message to all going to brusells..... i am looking forward to travelling this year although i do get a little ill on air-planes. i would like to ask in advance, that no one teakes this 'cheap shot' and ridicules me for this. at the same time though i do not want any special treatment or pitty to be shown... i thank you for your cooperation---and desperately hope that no one feels the urge to 'rip me silly' on the airoplne, or even in belgium fair enough i look like steptoe or even that i got my pants ripped off last time.but this illnes as i like to call it is not wat i would call ridicule material.xxx i thank you from sir alan gayler
CommentsThats what I like to see, a bit of healthy competition! It doesn't matter that they have 'imported' members or not - history will record them as having beaten us regardless of this 'fact'. To say they are not clubs is a bit quimsical-they are registered as clubs, they compete as clubs, therefore they are there to be beaten. They mustn't be looked at as 'import' clubs because that is a negative frame of mind and needs to be stamped out. Once this is stamped out, the athletes may respond in a positive way and could record that top three placing they are aching to get. The difference between 5th and top three is speed and strenghth-develope these two and together with the training you have champion athletes who will be looking to win national medals and not just county or Midland medals.
CommentsYou will see plenty of healthy competition mate over the coming months- and im interested in your role in this!Im afraid you have opted to take the wrong end of the stick.Have you heard of a 'healthy disrespect ?' This is ultimately the thrust of my argument and 'mainstream'OWLS will understand this.This attitude is of course anything but negative.But in case you do not share this view, and to refer to your comments about National medals, may i remind you that the OWLS won National medals at Youth and Junior Mens level within 10 years of starting its junior section in what was at the time something of a backwater for endurance running.We also won the National overall TROC road running trophy a couple of years in succession and the Midland overall team trophy a couple of times etc etc.Our current seniors have come through from these teams and have managed 12th in the National snr xc champs and 11th a few weeks ago in the National xc relays.One may say this is quite an achievement (how many other clubs have managed this?)I think even you may agree that this doesnt just happen and a considerable level of 'attitude' has been required to get this far.However,my view and i hope and expect it is the view of the athletes in the club, is this is only 'relative' success and winning things is what it is all about...whatever the odds.Incidently i have nothing against any uni athlete as THEY ARE athletes! I can say with confidence that we are set to continue moving forward at possibly a greater rate than the past couple of years and this is an exciting time for the club. With reference to some of your other comments;registration as a club is one thing'BEING'a club is something entirely different.Though it may be a little pedantic to get into this argument because i wouldnt want to question the loyalty of uni members to their 'club'.However, BEING a club in my view means turning out on a regular basis and WE will be there at the MIDLAND,NATIONAL,12 STAGE at snr/jnr level and i hope to see the uni's there also?! With respect to your detailed physiological appreciation of what it takes to become a champion ,and how that will move us from 5th to 3rd, which is "what we are 'aching' for..." (we actually want to win it!!)I am realistic enough to say that this depends on who the other teams turn out throughout the season.However,Given the 'nature' of OUR club and the competiteness of the individuals in it, we have a chance!In my view we frequently punch above our weight in major competitions and i would say we have proven to be one of the countries top squads in peaking for major champs. As our squads get older and stronger and as the likes of MILES,SHUTE,FRASER and others move through into the ranks, i hope and expect that it won't matter who the uni's turn out we will still beat them.Unless of course they have recruitment campaigns for stray moroccans, kenyans etc...then it may take us a little longer!
CommentsFinally,are you helping 'us' to beat 'them'!!?? ww ps Put your name to your article next time please or contact me on my number if you would like to question my views. Even start a debate as i suggested... again with your name on it if poss.

CommentsThis is a plea on behalf of Ted Toft (whom I'm sure you all know)He has asked me to try and track down a missing Trophy last sighted being handed to an OWLS junior Boy in the year 2000 for the U13's or maybe U15's Boys (he was not sure) This was for the North Midlands Cross Country League. If anyone knows anything about this can you contact me direct or reply on this chat page. Many Thanks Peter Williams Web Editor.

CommentsNice to hear from you Kevin i was only talking to someone a couple of days ago about the time you beat Scott in the English schools xc at Newark i think it was. The best fight back we had ever seen and because of the quality of the race i wasnt disapointed that HE lost(in any case he 'done' you at wadebridge so had a schools title already!)I believe he was doing a bit of jogging a few months ago , last seen him in the 'Fan Club'in leicester(!)about 3 months ago and he's happy enough!I think he still lives in Leicester may be able to track his tel no down if you want it. nice to see you still doing the business good luck wayne walker

CommentsARE WE IN THE DERBY RUNNER LEAGUE? WW
CommentsAlright boyz. Neil (NELL PIECE) Carter here. Nice one Ryan on getting ninth place, and for challenging for a boat race in "Spank Shop Rons" bar in Brussels. I bet that moustache wearing porn star is stacking up the glasses of Chimay's ready for me to get guzzling on!!! For an intelligent comment, I think that British Athletes will struggle to be the best in the world again because technology nowadays in the developed world is causing peolpe to be lazy, therefore developing natural talent from an early age is slower. This then results in less people being interested in athletics, but more interested in computer games. So the problems stem from an early age. There, I bet you sheisters didn't realise I could write something other than how much of a performance athlete I am. Have a good one in Edale boyz, I'll be thinking of you while I learn how to assess GCSE coursework. Now for a beer (I mean run). Neil Birmingham League runner extraordinairre.
CommentsTHAT ALL MAY BE THE CASE CARTER BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY RUNNER IN OWLS HISTORY TO BE HIT BY A F##CKING WHIRLWIND OFF A TENNIS COURT. I TAKE IT YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS ASSESSING GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE WORK. PROFESSOR CRYABOUTIT. DEPT OF WHIRLWIND STUDIES. ONLY JOKING CARTER.
CommentsNeil again. Yeah, cheers professor, I did have a bit of a run in with a mini wurl wind at a Birmingham League race. I can still taste the dust now, much to McDowell and La Doyal's amusement!! The only wurl wind happening to the Carter at the minute, is the speed of my running!!! See the clouds of dust at the Counties boyzz !!

CommentsDIRECTED AT 'ATHLETE' WHO COMMENTED ABOUT PAUL ARD: Talk to me when you have achieved half of what I have. Put your name next time so I can reply to you in person. Paul Ard
CommentsMr Ard, I'm sorry to see that you are taking a fair amount of stick on this chat page at the moment, but I don't think your making things easy for yourself. Basically you should stop making any comments on this website that are not related to the topics on the discussion forum. People are calling for you to be banned from this chat page all together, but I think you should be allowed to add your sound knowledge and experience to the discussion's on this page. I'm trying to help you out here because your one of my best mates and also because I have great respect for Paul Ard the athlete. On the other hand I love the OWLS and I owe a great deal to Wayne for all what he has done for me in the past, and will hopefully continue to do for me in the future. You were involved in many of my best times at the club, and I want you to be a part of this when get over my injury problems, as we can help each other out a lot. BUT this can only happen if you talk things through with Wayne and any other people invloved. I will go out of my way to try and convince you to re-join the OWLS. If there needs to be any kind of meeting to discuss matters, then I will be willing to represent you in any way which I can. There is too much politics in British athletics, which hinders clubs such as the OWLS. Your've got talent and I hate seeing talent being wasted, as I see myself and many other as wasted talent at the moment. The reason why I have wrote this message for everyone to see, is because I'm getting p****d off with all of this s**t, and I want you Mr Ard and all others involved to get this problem sorted out and get on with what we are all here to do. Turlo
CommentsWould anyone thinking of contributing to the issues on the discussion web PLEASE read my topic entitled " FREEDOM OF SPEECH" before they put finger to keyboard and press the submit button Many thanks and a HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all of you. Peter Williams (Web Editor)
CommentsHAHA DANIEL DOYLE!!!!!---NOTHING ELSE NEED BE SAID
CommentsAre you joking ,a lot more HAS to be said!!
CommentsWell done to all those who contributed to another classic Brussels trip. The humour and goodwill shown if directed into your running commitments and team spirit will move mountains. Thanks lads for a thouroughly enjoyable trip! ww
CommentsIt was alright until you showed up wayne!!! Only joking, glad you made it.
CommentsEzy boyz, Nell-piece Carter here. Excellent Brussells trip, it has to be said!! I bet Wayne's never had an entrance like that before, as he walked into 'Spank-shop Rons', it was like Jesus him self had walked in!!! (Or Osama Bin Laden judging by the passport photo). Just shows a good piss up and abuse-giving session is not complete without the big WW. I'd also like to conmfirm that Mr Falkner did not develop mouth ulsers, and has been given a clean bill of health!! Cheers Wayne and all the boyz for a top weekend. Neil
CommentsI would just like to point out that 'spank shop Ron's' is a pub in case anyone should get the wrong impression!!! ww
CommentsThe discussion forum is proving to be a very interesting and educational tool for me, and I read the articles and find myself really wanting to participate. Yet I do not feel I have the capacity to have any valid input! I'm sure that I'll have something remotely interesting to add one day... maybe not! Also, can anyone give me inofrmation on the use and effectivness of heart rate monitors? Does anyone use one? Milo.
CommentsDear owls faithful……. I am worried that when I am drunk I disgrace my family, what should or can I do?? On a recent trip abroad I met ‘a career minded’ young girl, who seemed up for anything. After observing my friend, Bryan, get some action from one of her ‘colleagues’, I thought my luck was in!!! She danced suggestively, as I closed in! but when she waltzed off and left me for the 17th time, I sensed something was wrong. Was it the language barrier? Or had I simply drunk too much? Yours hopefully… Dom Beakin (Open to responses)
CommentsPoor old Dom... somebody help him!!

CommentsPopularist vote? thats an interesting point wayne. one which is often reflected in contemporary society in a post-modern world. i wonder what marxism as a theory would think of the pescribed poularist vote?
Commentsb*****ks to marxism, if your eating properly all you do is piss out all the suplements you take anyway. your just waisting your money on flashy packaging that goes into the bank account of some fat bastard who doesn't even know the meaning of exercise. steroids in sport? should we all be allowed to take them at our own discretion so then no one would have an advantage???!!!

CommentsHOWS ABOUT PREVENTATIVE TRAINING METHODS THAT LIMIT THE LIKELYHOOD OF INJURY FOR AN ATHLETE. SINCE INJURY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT PART OF AN ATHLETES TRAINING WHAT STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID INJURY.
Commentsyouve gone quiet duran Doran, hows your injury?
CommentsInjury... there are a thousand books on the development of correct training programes which in theory can minimise injury. However at the end of the day it is down largely to the individual athlete having a personal awareness, or working to a personal awareness, about his/her response to certain forms and volums of training. This should form an important topic of discussion with a coach who is sympathetic to your cause.Athletics is a lifestyle and a process of self awareness and should involve absolute communication with the coach who you (mutually )choose to work with. The coach can then mix your responses and obsevations with the theory and experience he himself has and hopefully minimise both overtraining and injury.In my experience the lack of communication , is one of the biggest hurdles to fulfilling ones potential.There are of course a range of biomechanical tests you can have which can help identify weaknesses in your style and technique etc... these are costly and are variable in the amount of useful information they produce.If you want details of any one who does biomechanical assessments contact me on the number below. Ps Almost every instruction manual on athletics will have a section on injury prevention and more specific details can be found in 'peak performance' mag and some of the other running mags. appologies for being a little vague on the issue, it s costing me 50p for half hour! waye walker 07973-824638
Commentseh up wayne you have got a lot of comments on this page. and here was i thinking it was a junior or elite chat page. which category are you in? only joking el wayne as i probably don't fall in to this criteria either. the franklin. and snakes can still go f... himself. i'm ready for the challenge dwoyel. on a scale of one to ten of fitness i am about 2 but rising quickly, the wine was superb, let me climb into me roll mate, has kenty soughted out my flight to gatwick yet? franklin overseas owls contingent. and you guessed it LOVIN IT. SET A C....S. L8RZ
Commentshello......
CommentsHad to drop out of my second race in life on Saturday due to my little knee injury. I haven't got a clue what's wrong with it as currently I can play football twice a week(don't say it Wayne!!) with out it hurting at all, then if I try and run I can manage about a mile before it starts hurting and then another 1/2 mile before it gives way altogether. Does anybody know a good knee specialist in London or Leicester that has been used by an Owl running before? Could it be coming from my back, maybe a trapped nerve or something? Hopefully I'll be all sorted before we do this trip to Morocco. Help!! Tim aka duran Doran
CommentsNo probably about it franklin you DONT fall into either category, youve got your own category and i invite your friends and colleagues to outline what it is on this chat page! ALL THE BEST ww
CommentsFootball wont hurt it as not enough efforts involved you could either go to Dewhurst's the butcher or John Mcvey on the Welford Road hes in the tel book. all the best wayne
CommentsClearly you don't understand Football!! And the fitness that is involved with it.
Commentsi used to take the city and northampton youth squad and i saw how fit they were! ww
CommentsWhen we elevate football into the 'tough sport' category it just shows what a mess this country has got into with respect to what hard work/physical training is!Please dont talk about various forms of fitness and sport specific fitness and that they may have to do more technical work etc, i know all about that. And i know also that a non -footballer, i will even say runner playing soccer, would initially find it hard work because they are not used to it( i would put myself in this category!)But the work it takes to get a serious footballer fit in comparison to a serious athlete is ridiculously low. My estimate based on anecdotal evidence (of the past i will admit) is that a fairly serious u15 athlete would train harder in terms of calories burned than the average cricketer and in soccer it would take an under 17 year old athlete.I was going to go an age group down but im being generous! You PLAY football and you can JOG but you dont play RUNNING! Wayne Walker Formerly a lecturer in Physical and Health Education
CommentsYOUR CORRECT EL WAYNE I DO HAVE MY OWN CATEGORY CALLED HARDCORE. I LIKE TO THINK THIS APPLIES NOT JUST TO RUNNING. IT WOULD BE NICE TO START A CATEGORY/ CONTINGENT OF RUNNERS TO CHASE DOWN THE STANDARD 5/6 RUNNERS THAT ARE ALWAYS AT THE FRONT. WHAT DO YOU RECKON DWOYEL,CRIPIN,WILLIAMS, MCDOWELL, PARKER, KENTY ETC. COME ON THEIR A BUNCH OF LEIGHTWEIGHTS REALLY. OH YEAH ROB I HAVE STILL GOT YOUR MC HAMMER TROUSERS IF YOU WANT THEM BACK. SWISH. L8RZ THE FRANKLIN.
CommentsWith regards to the 'chit chat' on the level of fitness involved in the sport of football, the fitness levels of a footballer seem more comparable to that of an urban fairy and their skills are more attributable to the catwalk and theatre!
CommentsIs it just me or is everything Franklin says shit!!
CommentsNow come on Doyle if your going to slag franco off put your name to it... oops!
CommentsI got a a couple of new discussions, firstly wat kind of cereals do we athletes eat. I no waynes are "Sugar Puffs" (cuz he just loves the honey monster)!!!!.

CommentsIm ***** training Hard, its up to me what I want to do with by spare think you Ryan
CommentsSurely you must be sitting in front of the computer for hours monitoring the 'chit-chat' in order for you to see how much sh** is written! Or do you still go on that farmyards and ex Telford runner site(Ollie Laws)? The truth is out there!

On an intellectual note, I'd just like to say................................... .........Oh I forgot what I was going to say. All 4's over and out.
CommentsHaving just had a quick butchers at the old one two, and wazzed meself over the nick names section, it has come to my attention that there are indeed a number of classic quotes that have arissen thoughout the years from various club members. I would like therefore like to set the ball rolling with the following, Mr Berry (in edale 1994ish) "are we at altitude?". Rob Orr 1995 @ Intercountys " its really strange right, cus like when i was finishing this race five minutes ago i was totally knakard and now i feel like i could run ok!" Mr Berry again ( one night at the track) "You might be fitter than me mac, but ive got tallent!" as what still remains to be found out. Dan Doyle and Wayne in a clothes shop around the time of Oneils 21st " �35 for a f##kin top, you could get the france for that" " oh yer, but you wouldnt have a top to wear when you got there would you?" And finally my personal fave said by everyone at least once " fu##in franklin, your fu##in useless" Cheers Macca
CommentsQuote,quotes! Dozens of them.Youve set up a cracking discussion topic here Tim. How about "there were about ten of em looking at me and not one of the bxxxxsrds could find owt rong we me" Berry(circa 1997) after running straight in to the first aid tent and being swampped by Paramedics at the Belgium cross, emerging 20 mins later wrapped in a space blanket.Then jogging off for a warm down. Followed later that night (2am) in the disco chatting about his epic to an impressed foreign female athlete. " yeah ya must ah seen me in the race i was the one THAT GOT RUSHED into the paramedics " with ...wait for it..." an old Javelin injury..."Say no more! WW

"theres no such thing as bad weather, theres just the wrong cloths " Billy Connerly ( i know he isnt in the club but he's bloody funny) " your only as good as your last race" Chris (half a face)Main 1998 + " YOU WOULDNT LIKE IT, if you lost your contact mag/lense, you f##ker" Brussels kebab shop."then id grab this table and smash her over the head with it, nicely though." twigg, edale 1999,"the way im feeling i could keep this pace up all day, fu## it, let run too france" Wayne bradgate 1996 ( with group containing mac, doran, chris taylor, hows that for a bad memory?)

CommentsDear Lordy I am interested greatly in your recent advert i have indeed a Purse of monies and i wondered if it were at all possible to send my footman to wessex to collect.I would like also to take this opportunity to invite you and your fair maiden to the gaylor manor where we may witness a little gathering i am putting on for the noble men acrosss three shires. I am sure you are aware of noble lord oneil, who has promised to provide us with a glimpse of the venus de milo statue which he assures us he will deliver in your very coach after it has been purchased by my very self,yak,yak,ho ho! It is my firm intent to have a fairly sizeable banquet with fiddlers,a jousting competition a spit roast. archer(Y), and the local and highly rated court chester count berry of Braunstone. Some fair maidens will also be on hand to serve up a new beer our brethern have recently produced in belgium...chimay i believe its called.One word of warning however, please ensure you follow the parchment maps i have enclosed for the highways are full of trickery and the bandit, and down right 'baden'the wicked outlaw the deposed earl Falkner of countingthorpe has recently shown his presence in our great shire. Until we meet Lord Brutnall,once more into the breach... (the hotel california, kathmandu) Ps you will no when you are in the brutnall estate as you will see the knave the evil count crip and the orrible duke orrible in the stocks as you approach. Fair thee well my lord. the noble lord Gaylor
Commentsps with respect to the hunting gear.. i already have a nice little number that will do me for the time being.Its a large full purple smock i recieved recently from his lordship the lord lesser spotted boyce of habsburg. pss and a fine wear it is i may say1
CommentsHaving spoken with the lesser spotted boyce last night and him being in the libary yet again, i conclued that it must be the warmest place on campus as icant see " no reason" for him to be there? Ive also heard soom very disturbing news, the fanklin has returned! Acording the a close sourse, he has sported all styles of hair and fasion over the past 18 months and still managed to return looking exactly the same as when he left. Wayne, apologies for tomorows meeting my self and a right honourable el snake will be otherwise engaged in a winter assault on snowdon. All Owls, Is anyone planning to travel down to the national on saturday morning, if so have you room for a big one? Before I sign off heres a few to keep you going, "more like, warm angry buns" Wayne 2000, leicester round, 2am, after finding an old hot cross bun in his pack. " OH REALLY" Nick Mapp 1999 onwards, " oh really" everyone else after Nick has made a statement from 1999 onwards. " we're from the town you know, the grey place with the noise, you must know its very nice" Jay Williams, 1998 to a large group of hikers in yorkshire, when we did that week of fell races. Cheers dudes Macca
CommentsIf you were to flip Norway over vertically on its most sounthern point, in what country would you find its most northern point? Not as stright forward as you think. Answers on a postcard!!
CommentsHa ha ha, that is the funniest thing ive ever read, i started cying + shit myself!
CommentsIts not supposed to be funny dickhead, its a brain teaser that a pathetic individual like yourself does not have the intelligence to workout!
Commentswerent on about the shit brainteaser i was on about taking the piss out lord Brutnall!!!!!!
CommentsThe southern point (which is being flipped), would then be replaced by the northern point.. The changes that would occur, would be to the rest of the country..for example the most southern point would be in germany!!! So the answer is the original most southern point would be replaced by the new most northern point!!1 Heres a new riddle...whats the only fish in the world that begins and ends with the letter K??? (and its not kwik save haddock!!)
CommentsIs the answer K-whale-K? In case you didn't know, it's a special genetically modified whale, with the 11th chromosome in the DNA being modified, that's where the K comes from because K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. That's all aload of old crap, but I'm no good at riddles. WATCH OUT RORY FRASER...... I'M EMPLOYED AT YOUR SCHOOL FROM THE SUMMER!!!!! Cheerio boyz, "Shaggin' Wagon" Extraordinaire!!
CommentsTHERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF BOLLOCKS ON HERE, YOU BUNCH OF GEEKS. WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT NORWAY AND WHAT FISH BEGINS AND ENDS IN K, YOU BUNCH OF F##KING GEEKS!!! MACCA YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO LEARN TO SPELL!! AND HAVNT YOU GOT YOUR OWN CAR TO GET TO THE NATIONALS, YOU COULD TAKE SOME OF US WHO CAN'T AFFORD CARS, YOURS IS BIG ENOUGH!!
CommentsThe answer is kilmarnock!!!! Thats not a fish i hear you cry!!! No but it is a plaice!!!

CommentsI think its a great idea to have a forth coming events page, The Legion section already has an events page, but if the Guthlaxton/Saffron Lane sections want their own then I just need the info supplied to me either by e mail or normal post and I will do the rest.

Glad to see you fulfiling your vast potential for once!! As for the rest of the boys-fucking get up there!!Otherwise you may be seeing me after your places!?!Obviously cos Im a 'track' runner!?! P.S.Cheers for saying hello to me Wayne-it meant alot. Mr Paul Ard CommentsIt is with great sadness that after 15 yrs i will be resigning as senior mens team manager after the 12 stage relays in April.For too long now team management has been something 'wayne does' whilst everyone else gets on with their lives and i am unable to continue to compromise myself with 'relative success'which manifests itself through frequent comments of "if only variuos athletes were fit and motivated and at races just think what we could do," This to me is failure! Thankyou for those who have shared in the vision of wanting to be he best club in the UK, I hope you do not feel i am letting you down. I am very proud of those of you who went the 'extra mile'for the team, sometimes when you shouldn't have.We have some fantastic people in our midsts for whom i have the greatest respect others i fear are wasting my time. I will re-focus my efforts on meeting the needs of those whom i coach and of course the 40 odd hours a weektrying to develop an organisational and performance infrastructure within the club so that our athletes who do have a passion to improve, have the best possible opportunity.This is a battle also but one which i don't intend to lose.I expect this will provide more athletes that are committed to the club and the sport...there is then a logical reasoning behind my resignation also. I will fully support the new manager in what in actual fact is an exciting time for the club as despite my desision to resign, we have more of our top athletes competing on a regular basis and we have some good lads coming through. Certainly in the next 3 or 4 years we could achieve that ambition of getting to the top of the tree. This could be a very exciting time for the club and i wish the new manager well. If there is anyone who would like to take this position on please contact me asap i can then outline the general procedure re race entries/contact numbers etc etc Wayne Walker Commentshello paul Commentswww.startfitness.co.uk quality page for buying running shoes, clothing or equipment Commentswk beg 3rd mar m 5m steady/good t rest w am 4m easy pm 5x800 th 6measy f 4m easy s rest su markfield 10k wk beg 10th mar m 4measy t rest w 5x800 th 6measy f6m good s 2m wup 8x150 hills 2m wd su 9m steady mar 17th m6 m steady t 6m easy/steady w8x4oom 6m total with wup/d th 4 m easy fr fitness assessment leeds to be confirmed sat 5 m easy sun 9m steady/good races april 5th 6 stage relays sutton pk CommentsCould somebody please explain the chat page entry above this one Many thanks Bemused reader ??????????

CommentsWayne, Just a quick note to say Thank you for the coaching and Team management that I have received from you over the last 13 years. I would probably have been a football junky by now, if you hadn't shown me the world of running and believed in me. Thanks Duran Duran
CommentsDoes any1 no the web site for the English schools? i need to no how to get there + wat time my race is on sat! Ryan
CommentsWHICH ENGLISH SCHOOL ARE YOU AFTER? J'AIME DEUX. DO YOU MEAN WHAT TIME THE BUSES LEAVE FALKNER. ROB YOU GOT ME THT SIM CARD YET? FRANKLIN
CommentsEVERYONE DOWN THE TRACK AT SAFFRON LANE NEXT WEDNESDAY, ITS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO BE THERE. ITS CALLED F..C...G TRAINING NIGHT YOU W..K..S. PUSSYS EVERYONE WHO DOES GO, NICE ONE.
CommentsThe reason no1 is turning up for the Saff Lane or Bradgate sessions is cuz they r 2 hard!!! The only trouble is that it's all too obvious in the recent performances of those who have not been regularily training with the group. This has been happening for years + the club has stopped progressing on the same level as it used too, if anything we have gone backwards. Its shocking that at an event like the Nationals we struggle to get a team out! Franklin has been travelling the world, comes back a week before the Nationals + puts a performance in that would put half the squad to shame, also he has been to more sessions this year than most of us so called athletes!Its embarresing that we still get refered to as the so called "Elite section"! What happened to the team spirit this club used to famous for (through out the entire country)? Come on lads lets show a bit of determination and pride in ourselves and start competeing at levels we should be!
CommentsWell put whoever that was, regret to inform that Leeds OWLS AC still holding their own in the senior ranks.. ish. Looking for to when wayne lets me train like a runner again. By the way, there's an athletics level 1 course on saturday/sunday at Leeds Uni. I'll enquire. Would it be too late. Good luck falkner and rory at the weekend on th pier. Milo.
CommentsAbsolute patience,absolute commitment Miles you shit bag...NOTHING less.You are very slighly lacking in one of these areas! When you are running in your own sick with your entrails flapping on the track,looking for your eyeballs,remember your last statement. Ring 01482 645 272 for details on the level 1 yorks course. If you can get on it you can do it. ALL THE BEST Wayne
CommentsOver the last two months... Give yourself 1 point for each CLUB session you have attended(injured or not) 5 points for each club race you have done(injured spectator counts) SCORED LESS THAN 18 POINTS...What are you doing for the club? Over the NEXT two months Go through the same process. (Give yourself an additional 8 points if you live out of Leicestershire) If you havent scored 18 points... WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE CLUB?
Commentshey ppl
CommentsHa Ha love it! Good luck to Rory Fraser tomorrow + the rest of the boyz racing in Brighton (including myself). 6 years ago Me + Siddon took the English schools by storm, that was also on the South Coast, so the pressure is on u Fraser to keep up the tradition, can u handle the pressure? i think u can + many others do, but go out there + prove it my son! Good Luck mate! Ryan

CommentsJust like to wish ryan, rory and tom w, all th best for the 'big race' tomorow!! Although the numbers are lacking, the quality is obviously still there. Both Rory and Tom desserve good results, and maybe even sneak an engalnd vest. Do the club proud..all the best
Commentsyeah go on lads do the business. now down to important matters, namely porn stories. can you do better ARCHER? he was kneeling in front of her, holding her knees apart with both hands, and she was sprawled across the sofa with her pleated skirt rucked up around her waist. Then she panted brokenly.... f..k it me mams just interupted me inspiration. i will continue some other time. Carter you scheister sort ya sev out. jaime deux mate.
CommentsMIDLAND 12 STAGE ROAD RELAYS SAT APRIL 5TH Mention has been made of team spirit and PRIDE within the club so shall we put this on top of the agenda. PRIDE and TEAM SPIRIT (and you've had it)should permeate through all of you as INDIVIDUALS and ought to help make your training meaningful, but somewhere this has been lost. Dont be fooled by thinking you are ENTIRELY self-sufficient as an INDIVIDUAL in the sport...it isnt quite as simple as that(the individual wouldnt exist if it were not for a TEAM of coaches,officials parents etc etc making the sport viable as an organised sport) MORE importantly the high expectations of YOU from your team mates and the reliance and support on each other in stressful situations, (even if its just a bad run), together with the shared experience of victory, are all part of the positive process that makes up A TRUE CLUB. Anthing less is a waste of time and a shadow of anything worthwhile. However, this takes more than words and a cosy reliance on our PAST. What counts is NOW and the FUTURE, and what will decide this is ACTION ACTION that is in the hands of these people. NICK MAPP RYAN FALKNER THEO BOYCE VINCE SCHMITT RICH BROMLEY PAUL MILES TOM MEAKIN JON BAILEY JASON WILLIAMS JON PARKER TIM DORAN CHRIS ONEILL RUSSEL SHUTE TIM MCDOWELL JAMES FRANKLIN DAN DOYLE DAVE KENT JOE ARCHER ALEX AINGE NEIL CARTER IAN GOODE NICK AUCOTT ALAN GAYLER All of these are currently training or have the talent to get into the 'A ' squad in a short space of time. If fit, this squad could WIN the midland 12 stage. There are sufficient people in the squad to cover for illness or injury.There are also a sufficient number of athletes to cover our long stages and sufficient QUALITY throughout the whole squad. Make no bones about it 3rd place IS FAILURE.Anyone that believes otherwise is making excuses for themselves and excuses for others. EVERY person on this list ought to be fighting like a Mad Dog to make sure of their position on the team and anyone making light of the necessary commitment and importance of this attitude should be told to F-- OFF we DONT want you or your attitude.. The question that needs to be asked now is... Have ALL of you, AS INDIVIDUALS, got the bottle? At this moment in time there is some doubt. But only time will tell and i would expect at least a marginal improvement from some of those listed above in the next 3 weeks to get the BLOOD STIRING AND THE MOTIVATION UP. The time for excuses has past. Wayne Walker. If you require any information about the 12 stage please ring me. 07973-824638

CommentsRyan i sent you an entry form for the next road league. you can return it by email if you like. J'aime deux mate and you carter ya scheister. hope you kicked some ass in that markfield 10km. Wayne- half a chance the old franklin is on this altitude trip. i am looking AT FLIGHTS AT THE MOMENT. just waiting on a bit of cash that might come through. franklin.
CommentsWhoever did that points score thing earlier, the Carter notched up over 50 points!!! If i can get that many, the rest of you big bigs should be loads more that!! Franklin you even bigger sheister!! Did you make any money from selling the famous Carter's running kit at Bradgate. I think Ryan could enter all future events through e-mail, it seems a great service! Quick joke for the hardcore saffron lane track massives (Wayne, Ryan, Franklin-stein, Doctor Crip etc): This bloke was walking across the road when out of nowhere came a "Mobile Library" and ran him over. He was on the floor screaming in pain when the driver got out, walked over to him and said...."Sssshhhhh" LOVE 2 boyz. P.s. The Carter is fighting for the 12-stage (miracles may happen!!)
Commentsthere is no way that tim doran or scott hyden ran the markfield 10km. whos been running under their names?
CommentsWhy is there no way Tim Doran did the Markfield 10km? Name yourself fool and take it up with Duran Duran. What happened to Franklin? should be the question asked, was he more worried about being beaten by me so didn't turn up? Tim
CommentsA MORNING AT THE PARK OF BRADGATE. Even from the distant horizon at Old John, the sparkling glow of the Lord Brutnall 24 carot gold carriage can be seen in the car park henceforth. The spritely Baron O'Neill of the shire of Leicester dares to engage the Lord in some light conversation. "Nice day for a run Ash". Lord Brutnall retortes with a condescending glance and explains "i have no time for such tittle tattle, i have 10 miles of ridge and furrow to cross young scally wag. Move out of my way peasant i have to take willy to the copulatorium viva (Braggy Toilets). And without a sound apart from a quick puff on his emerald encrusted asthma inhaler, he was gone. yeah it was me duran duran that said you could not have ran. and i would have dicked on you with that time.and you williams. like the wind you are williams. bring it on duran franklin, love 2 carter ya scheister
CommentsFranklin you sexy beast, Love the dip into medieval Bradgate, get out your jousting poles, I throw down thy gaunlet to go into battle in the morrow. Whence the battle commenceth, the Carter will brandish thy shorts and run like a stiff breeze. On return from Battle, sir Carter of Neil will have the kings thirst for a frosty brew, bring forth the merriment and thou shall feast a plenty. I must now depart, I hear Lord Brutnall returning on his stallion to thy Castle, I shall be keal-halled on his boat which circum-navigates his moat. I bid you farewell my brothers and fair knights. In English.....get training you sheisters!!! Well done Ryan on dick-ing the Markfield 10K P.S. WAYNE - If you read this before Wednesday, I have given your details to the head of P.E. at Redmoor school, who said he will contact you regarding the athletics session. Nice one Wayne....... 'so this altseimers sufferer says...where's me chips!!'
CommentsFranklin ya scheister, Are you coming on this training trip? God, you'll need it if you think you can beat me. It will be just like the good old days where I used to beat you in every race. I'm doing the 12 stage relay at the start of next month, make sure you do it, and we will check the times out from that. let the jousting begin. Duran Duran
CommentsDoes anybody know if Lord Brutnall reads this site? ha ha i love it, it makes me p*^s.
CommentsYes i do... you eternal blaggard, be away with you, you vermin,you scouderel,you brigand! Lordy.
CommentsDuran Duran i pitty you, you offer all of these 'competions' yet never win. Good luck anyway..im sure you will win one eventualy..
CommentsAll fours what chips,? altzhiemers king
CommentsOH, AND YOU BOUNDER SIR,YOU BOUNDER! LORDY
CommentsTHE 'SCREAMING' LORD BROOTNALL... the lord at the thought of going quiker than 8 minute miling.
CommentsWHO is going to make it?
CommentsAll 4's here again. For the person who wondered 'what chips?' in their message slightly above (is that you McDowell?), it was from a joke. It goes thus: Two altzheimers sufferers sitting on a bench in the summer when one turns to the other and says"Can you get me an ice cream, but write it down, you'll forget" The other says,"No I won't, I'll get you an ice cream" "Ah, but I want a flake in it", the first man says "Don't worry, I'll remember, an ice cream with a flake in it", says the second man. "But I also want chocolate sauce, so just write it down, you'll forget it all" The second man says"I'll remember, an ice cream with a flake and chocolate sauce" "one more thing" the first man says"I want nuts as well" So his mate says"Don't worry, I won't forget, an ice cream with a flake, chocolate sauce and nuts on" So he trots off to get his mate the goods. After an hour he finally returns, but his mate is horrified to see that he has brought a chicken pie back...."You flamin' idiot" he shouts "where's me damn chips!!" All 4's is rockin' and rollin'
CommentsONEILL YOU WERE NOT AT TRAINING TONIGHT FOR THAT 7 MILER ON THE ROAD. WHERE WERE YOU? WILLIAMS YOU SKINNY B----RD GET YOURSELF DOWN ON WEDNESDAY . DURAN- I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ARSE AT THE 12 STAGE. IT WON'T BE LIKE OLD TIMES

Franklin- I've reserved a seat for you on Lord Brutnall's carriage, but you'll have to groom the horses afterwards, Pete Berry got the sack as stable-boy after being caught doing something untoward with the Lord's favourite jousting pole. LOVE 2. MACCA - What are you up to at the mo (apart from trauling the memory banks for the famous quotes!!) ALL 4's Carter. P.S.

CommentsJust to remind you of my intent for OWLS world domination when I make my comeback from injury (hopefully this Summer). So you guys best get your self in decent shape for the next cross country season so we can see what a lot of hard work and dedication can do. Although I've been able to compete much for the last four years because of a chronic calf injury, I've managed to keep myself in good shape through daily gym and swim sessions and im still 100% motivated to lead a group of athletes (you guys) to wolrd domination. Do you have what it takes? Can you help put some pride back into British distance running? If the answer is yes, then lets just get on with the F****** job in hand. TURLO

CommentsThe Carter appears to have missed a meeting Monday night. Sorry, I misplaced my mobile sunday night and have just found it (Wednesday morning). To Doctor Crippin and The Franklin - Be off with you both. The sun hath riseth in the sky for a merry morning of sun and girth. The dew settles upon the lush green sod that adorns the pastures surrounding Lord Brutnall's moat. Before I bid thy both farewell merry knights, I shall propose a toast that the frivolities of cavorting with a fair maiden in the warm sun doth continue into the morrow. May ye both arrive safe at Saffron Laneth. Hazaar!!

RYAN - If you see any off road trainers going for a bargain let me know, as my "Bradgate Plimmies" are a bit worse for wear. Send me a message if you are out and about saturday, the Nell-piece is lonesome at the weekend!!! I shall end up polishing my new jousting pole ready for battle at the forest of black knights.

It is in celebration of Baron O'Neill, quaff quaff ooohhh i just swallowed me eye piece as it left my squinting eyelid; being promoted and indeed elevated to the elite circle of ' Thee ten Lords a Leaping'. Well spank me on the rear with a good hard riding stick and proclaim the morrow a day for fox hunting. I almost forgot about the 10 miles . Come now Lord O'Neill we will leave peasant servany Gaylor to deal with proceedings. All OWLS from the elite section of society, don't hesitate to drop in at the Manor for a spot of game fishing perchance. Regards Lordy. P.S No callers tonight as i will be in the old four poster wearing my favourite pyjamas and smoking my best cigar attending to willy at the same time.

CommentsTHANKYOU MR MILES, the Nell-piece "all 4's" Carter has of course been putting in the 150m strides as well as adding a few derogatory comments. FRANKLIN I admire your perception of the upper crust tier of the OWL's athletics club. I also have been sitting in my tree house on the brow of yonder hill, doth observing o'neill and 'Brutters', at it on the four poster bed. BUT....I am sorry to say I have seen you cavorting around on the silk sheets with the Lord's favourite cocker spaniel. I also saw you making a jar of the finest country marmalade with a hint of holly-hocks, just waiting to be spread on the lightly browned toast which was freshly grilled over the cobble stove while the LORD was shooting pheasants using our fair kings own jousting pole. I bid thee farewell, for the buggle has blown on this night, the draw bridge is closed and the court jester is about to perform, also brandishing a monicle.....HAZAAR!!! All 4's over and out (in more ways than one). BE OFF WITH YOU PEASANTS. I HAVE NO BREAD FOR YOU.
CommentsA word to ''al fours'': regarding the comment you made, "while the LORD was shooting pheasants using our fair kings own jousting pole." I was just wondering how this was so, shooting with a jousting pole???
CommentsWe r on about Lord Bruttnal here, he can shoot with watever he freakin likes, who ever put that comment down should be afraid, i here he has bought a pack of wolves to do his dirty work! Message for all 4's, hows your head 2day, mine was a bit ruff, i was out my mind! eeeeeh!!!!!

CommentsTo all those who want to ensure that the OWLS 'Elite' section can continue to operate competetively and act as a goal for the younger athletes among us: I have recently read about Wayne’s ressignation and am certainly concerned with the lack of ‘coverage’ on this chat page. I am presuming that there has been no meeting of minds or canvassing of opinions relating to this issue and how WE are going to resolve it and the impact to us of not resolving it. To this end I think it is essential that all those who compete in the section and all those who have an interest in the OWLS should meet. I am thinking of the weekend of the 12 Stage. I would certainly like to gather some opinions so if you would like to do this privately then please email me: [email protected]. Once I have received some response and opened up some channels of comunication then a date and time will be made public. Obviously if you would like to attend the meeting then please let me know. The days of being spoon fed by Wayne are over and I think collectively we should be able to cope with managing our own competetive seasons. Apologies for the formal nature of the mail and obviously if there has been some developments then can you let me know. Also if there are people who you know don’t read the chat page on a regular basis can you let people know please. Cheers, Richard
CommentsWell Done, Richard. Good to see that one of our ELITE athletes is expressing the sort of concern needed if the OWLS is to continue to achieve in athletics.
CommentsNice one Rich, I've sent you an e-mail as requested (Neil all 4's Carter). As it's me, it wouldn't be appropriate to leave without giving you all something to smile about (no it isn't a picture of Lord Brutnall shoe-horning his trouser press into Mr O'niell's Chariot). By the way, Ryan was OUT HIS MIND ON SATURDAY....NICE ONE. Write I'm off for a run so here's your treat... An unemplyed man from Braunstone goes into the job centre and says "I'm sick of sponging off the state, I want to get a job, what have you got?" The clerk says, "Well there's just come available a job working for a wealthy business man who needs someone to chapperone his beautiful daughter in the mercedes to private parties, some of them over seas. Oh, and the pay is �1ook a year" The Bloke says "No way!! You're bullshitting me!!" The clerk turns and says "Well you started it!" Lovin' it boyzz.

The police man got out his car and came to the speeding motorists car, "I know you were speeding, but it's the end of the shift so I can't be bothered with the paper work. So if you give me a good excuse for your excessive speed, I'll let you off". The motorists turned round and said, "Well I was speeding because I have just heard that my wife has run off with a policeman and I thought you were trying to give her back!!". LOVE 2 BOYZZ.

CommentsTHE COOPER TEST OF FITNESS. --HOW FAR CAN YOU RUN IN 12 MINUTES? mEASURE THE DISTANCE YOU CAN RUN AROUND A RUNNING TRACK IN 12 MINS.3700M IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SUPERIOR LEVEL.IS THERE ANY OWLS OF OLDER AGE THAT CANNOT ACHIEVE THIS LEVEL? TO GET UR VO2 MAX TAKE UR SCORE IN METRES I.E 3700M SUBTRACT 504.9 AND DIVIDE BY 44.73. THIS EQUATION GIVES U A ROUGH SCORE FOR VO2 MAX. 75 AND ABOVE IS THE MINIMUM FOR ELITE ENDURANCE ATHLETES. L8RZ FRANKLIN SON OF TARQUIN FRANKLIN.
CommentsThats a very interesting fitness test. According to my calculations to achieve a score of 75 or greater you would need to cover a distance of 3860 mtrs or 2.4 miles in the 12 mins, giving an average speed of 5 min.per mile. A challenging time for 2.4 miles. I wonder how many OWLS could achieve this. Perhaps coach Wayne could put this to the test one training evening down at Saffron Lane, he could publish the results ? Peter.
CommentsThe test isnt *accurate enough to bother with in terms of an objective assessment of max Vo2.It is an ok test if it is to be used for a comparitive analysis with itself...providing weather conditions and pace judgements remain constant etc. *For example:2.4miles in 12 mins (5min miling)would see the athlete CAPABLE of running 3k in say 9.05 to 9.10 (given the fact that they are running 9.20 pace for 2.4m) The amount of athletes that we have in the OWLS capable of running this time is probably a dozen in our 12 stage list of maybe 20 athletes.However, without going into personal details of previous lab tests of some of our athletes, i would say there are only 2 or 3 with a vo2 max approaching 75.I would estimate that an ability to run 9.05 FOR 3K WOULD CORRESPOND WITH A V02 MAX OF AROUND 68/69 PER KG BODY WEIGHT.This difference could be the difference between a good club runner and an international class athlete,though the ability to run at a higher percentage of ones vo2 max for longer is a better indicator of ones ability as a performer. Ie Derek Clayton (2.08 marathon runner) had a max vo2 of 68 and i think Frank Shorter (mara gold medalist 2.10)had a Vo2 max of 72.Both had an ability to endure a work rate at a high % of their max Vo2. As an 8.40 3k performer i had a max Vo2 of 70 if i remember correctly. Phil Makepiece (63 half mara) had a max vo2 of 72 i believe and a chap i coached who had a 10 mile time of 50.50 had a maxVo2 of 72. More recently someone else i coach had a max of 70.5 and an estimated 3k time of 8.40. i dont know if any of this is of any use. Wayne
CommentsInteresting points there. As wayne said the Cooper 12 min run test isn't a very accurate indicator of VO2 max, but it can be used to measure improvement in over a period of time. Although competitive races are the best way of measuring long term improvement. The Cooper test is a very useful tool when assessing the running ability of school children. Im glad you've just mentioned the ability to run at a high percentage of ones VO2 max, as I had a chat about running economy the other day. VO2 max is an important factor for endurance performance but its not the only factor. Running economy is all about being able to run at a high % of your VO2 max, with a number of factors such as technique and body fat coming into play. I came across an interesting paper the other day about why arfican distance runners are kicking our ass at the moment. It suggested that the VO2 max values of elite Kenyan Runners and European runners were no different, but Kenyan runners were able to race at a higher % of their VO2 max. Capillarisation and mitochondria levels were also the same. The main differences were that in general Kenyan runners had much lower body masses and body fat %. My point was that if VO2 max values were the same then body mass and fat % must have a massive impact on running economy (Obviously). But surely training must have a major effect on running economy too. From what i can see a lot of Britains top middle/long distance runners seem to alot of intense track work and long slow/steady runs with little threshold runs that could increase the % of their VO2 max that they race at (fractional utilisation). Ok track work will improve improve the anaerobic + aerobic systems to a certain extent and long easy/steady runs will improve VO2 max, but in my view none of these types of training will greatly improve fractional untilisation. So could it be that we need to take part in more 20-40 min threshold runs to improve our fractional utilisation. Hope that one makes your day pass by quicker! TURLO
CommentsPs Wayne, I've got a month of uni now so will be up for a few beers ect. Spoke to Prof. Williams the other day and he said Spencer Bardon has got a catolog with all the different portable blood testing units in, which he will try and get hold of. He also said he his happy for you to contact him any time to talk about the use of the unit. Cheers and Beers Turlo
CommentsThanks Ian. It never ceases to amaze me how fat the majority of british athletes appear to be.Much of this is down to a sedentary lifestyle outside of their training routines, crap food and perhaps the social need to look chunky and not too thin.Monthly body fat readings are essential in order to monitor BF in my view.Of course those on mileage work, as opposed to those on excessive interval training,MAY find it easier to keep fat levels at an appropriate level.We all know this, but at the end of the day it comes down to the acceptance of our 'sport' as a way of life and not just something we do part time. ww
CommentsI wish you all well at the 12 stage on Saturday. I would like to be there but I have to provide Medical cover at a Local Rugby Match. Let me know how you get on lads. Peter W.
Commentslove 2
Commentswith regards to the body fat points made. I am an athlete that would be describedas very lightweight, yet i belive putting on body mass would be benneficial. I believe this as aeobic power is extremely important on both the track and cross country. I believe if iccould put body mass/bulk on i would bennefit in the long run. has anyone got any tips on how to gain body mass, through diet and does anyone know if it would be benneficial. I would describe my diet as good, and i eat a lot. Yet i cant sem to put weight on.
CommentsDON'T WORRY ABOUT IT CRIPPIN. AND PUT YA NAME NEXT TO IT NEXT TIME YA SCHEISTER.
CommentsYou may describe your diet as good but how do you know? You may not increase your aerobic power by putting on 'bulk',unless your mechanical efficiency is enhanced through strength training.You may however increase your anaerobic power. However,the real question is'are you satisfied with your current form...and are you doing enough actual running? Get the basics sorted out first and then worry about putting on muscle later. There are no 'foods' that will increase muscle mass disproportionate to your natural growth. There are of course foods that enhance the repair of muscle fibers, and the consequent development of muscular strenght, as a result of training. In other words get some miles in and get a bit of circuit training done, eat your proteins and have a word with your coach to identify any specific weaknesses that MAY need strenghtening. ww

GOOD LUCK ALL YOU SHIESTERS ON SATURDAY. BLIND MAN WALKS INTO A SUPERMARKET, GOES UP ONE OF THE ISLES AND STARTS SWINGING HIS GUIDE DOG ROUND ABOVE HIS HEAD. A SHOP ASSISTANT WALKS UP TO HIM AND SAYS "CAN I HELP YOU SIR" THE BLIND MAN SAYS, "NO IT'S OK, I'M JUST HAVING A LOOK ROUND!!" Love 2.

CommentsWHO ARE THESE MEN OF THE 12 STAGE. WERE ART THOU SAXON COUNTERPARTS?
Commentswhat a bunch of reprobates in the 12 stage team. the line up is like a f..ckin comedy show. good athletes though
CommentsIf i am going to write something i will put my name to it. YA SCHEISTER. Crippin
CommentsWho says i am underweight i am built like a brick s**t house, anyone that disagrees can take it up with me. and can people stop using my name in vain else the pain is gonna reign Bailey
CommentsGreat to see you guys today, well most of you. Acouple of ok's runs and we still managed the best owls 12 stage position ever, what have we been fuckin around at in the past? Sorry I cant make the National, but i will catch you soon anyway, cheers for now wankers, Macca, oh yea and another thing, hope you apprecated seeing lordy as much as I did?
CommentsHi Macca, Pete Berry here. Sorry I couldn't make it to the 12-stage, Lord Brutters had me cleaning out his stable while he was trotting round the course on saturday. Also, I would like to apply as team manager, as I have had loads of experience managing the ethiopian athletics team while I was seeing this bird who lives in Africa. Her dads got a multi-million pound business all over the world, so I'm thinking of quitting at Brutnall Towers (I have enough of the constant slapping in the face with his velvet gloves). Sorry I wasn't there, I'd kick you all in 'cos I'm the 'ardest. Pete Berry
CommentsYou're not the hardest Berry, I am. Can apply for team manager. Cheers Scott Green.
CommentsEasy boys....its chippendale here, can i also apply for the role of team manager
CommentsAll 4's here. It WAS wicked to see all the black and white knights on Saturday. Well done boyzz for coming 4th (no medals for that though!!!). Good to see Pete Berry and Scott Green have applied for team manager. I'm not going to mention any fair maidens, court jesters or frosty brew, just one quick joke- This bloke goes on to stars in their eyes. When he's introduced, Matthew Kelly tells the audience, "Here we have Simon who has an amazing story to tell." "Yes that's right Matthew. Just a month ago I was in a horrific car crash with my Uncle. When the fire brigade arrived, they told me my Uncle was dead, and I would have to have my legs amputated. The ambulance man told me I could walk again by having my Uncle legs sowed onto my body through a miracle of science, so I agreed, and here I am today." Matthew Kelly said, "That's an amazing story Simon. So who are you going to be for us?" Simon turns and said, "Well tonight Matthew I'm going to be Simon and half-uncle!!!". LOVIN' IT!!!!! Cheers boyz. Carter Nell-piece All 4's, which ever name takes your fancy.
Comments4th At the Midlands 12 Stage, Brilliant Result Guys, The Black & White Knights certainly came off the tournament ground with their heads held high. Peter W.

CommentsA good performance at the weekend boys, and looking at the indivdual times theres still at lot more to come from this squad - a squad which is well capable of winning the 12 stage next year.

Yes i am a running geek but who gives a f*ck! TURLO

CommentsWith refere to the enquiry about an online entry form, for what exactly would you require this form, I can create an online entry form for a specific race or event or were you thinking of a more generic form ???. As regards a paint doodling facility that would be a little more tricky I'll have to look into the possibilities. Regards Peter Williams Web Editor.
Commentshello at last to all you fellow athletes(I know,I know) but it's been a while since I had access..so to speak! Anyway glad to see that I manage to creep into your thoughts from time to time. I am currently recovering from a chest infection but am going to to prove to myself and others that I have the balls to become a proper athlete and stop dabbling! Excuse the poeticism but it's often the most painful lessons that are the most important. now is the time folks for us all to play the game to win. AND THEN WE'LL GET PI**ED. See ya wendsday fools. Jay.W [email protected]
CommentsYeah I know I can't spell but it's late and the wine is warm! Apologies to the 12 stage attendees and well done! I am so gonna kick Franklins arse... come on macca, we'll take him down (but not after another of your leg weights sessions eh). 7.3% body fat you say, does that make me a right skinny git?
CommentsGood session today boyz,(they no who they r!) Its gonna start becoming a regular thing so we need to start seeing evey1 down Manor Rd @ 8.00 every sat morning, there aint no excuses! Nice get the corn beef flowing early saturday morning- ready for sat night! Laters boys Ryan
CommentsThats right, manor road is a place of beauty and tranquility at 8am on saturdays, so come boys get down and help us liven it up a bit, you missed out on a beautyfull session of 3x 5x300m today, you know you love it, just like your mrs. Cheers dudes, Macca
CommentsGood afternoon boyzz. The Nell-piece has finally risen from the dead, so fasten down your hatches, lock up your daughters, put away your pumps. It has gone a little quiet on my communications recently as Ryan put it, I have had to actually do some work for a change, so I'm lying down to recover!! I haven't been training for two weeks as my calf was really sore, but after heat lamp, massages and rest, I'm back to give it some f**king welly on the track!! Whoever put has Carter got a lady as he's gone very quiet, the answer is an unfortunate no!! (Maybe that's a good thing) See ya Bradgate Boyzz. (There's no joke today either).
CommentsAhoy there Nel Piece! nice to hear from u again, it aint the same without u! Good to hear your calf is getting better. C u at Bradgate tomorrow!
CommentsYoyoyoyoyo Are any of you guys interested in having a full dietary analysis + recommendations. If anyones interested i can defo do the first one for sod all! cheers turlo

Commentscall yourself athletes? question mark is the word gents!
CommentsDefinately Siddon in Spank shop Ron's. How about when he knocked knees out on the first ever night in Brussels! When me Archer + Mason got chased out of the "Albert" hotel cuz Joe lobbed a bin of the 10th floor window. Friking hell there's loads, What about the ozzie blokes...sorry i mean birds in the fudge packer pub! Dan Chrippin's passport expiring by 1 + 1/2 years + making out as tho he didn't no! Well there's just a few, come on boys there's loads Ryan
CommentsFinches mum packin the wrong passport, Rachel rummage getting tripped up by a dog, Mainy thinking he had moved into a good area, when he brought that house in Branstone frith. Keep it going boys, Macca
CommentsFunny you should mention Rachel Rummage, because i was doing some coaching in braunstone last summer and i asked a few of the locals about Rachel. Basically they reckoned that every man and his dog had been through her and that she did once have a "run in" with a dog! When i asked them about Peat Berry their response was "who the f**k is Pete Berry" Macca is it true that your working down enderby now a days? I've just been there for a swim, so i'll pop into the gym next time as long as my "best mate" tracy boyle isn't there. Turlo
Commentspete williams. Hows about an online membership form then? after registering, details of where we meet and train are indicated. How are them trainers going falkner? Not that i will need them though. just completed a 100km mountain bike race with snakes. the raleigh massif rules.
CommentsOdering them today Franklin, wat size do u want? I hear u had a phone call from the Inland Revenue toady! ha ha
CommentsYeah I can do that but we can't handle credit card info so they would have to send a cheque and a S.A.E. Let me know how much and who they should send their cheque to and who it should be made payable to etc. and I'll knock up a draft version for approval. Peter W.
Commentseasy lads its the snake king here, just to let u know that desperate dan phoned from el font romau & SAID the training camp was sound. all i can say is joe archer was back up to his old tricks the first nite in barcelona, whilst waiting for weapons wayne & machette miles to be released from custody. im sure you lot can work it out, chow 4 now. ta ta

CommentsWat do u mean a bit posey wayne, do u mean there tent has got a zip that actually works!!!!!!!!
CommentsEl Carter on the wheels of steel (I mean buttons of plastic). NIce to hear Doctor Crippin has eaten all of the British Midland passengers. Just a snippett of information for you, I nearly got a golden shower from senore Falkner on saturday night. While hidding down some stairs so I could relieve myself, one former english schools winner decided to project his full bladder contents over my shoulder, much to my suprise!!!! WICKED NIGHT AGAIN RYAN, NEVER FAILS......BAND ON THE RUN!!! Number four funniest moment (again in Brussells). Paula Radcliffe jogs by, doing a warm up run, Ryan shouts, "Go on Paula, get ya rat out!!". I think she just chose to ignore it. Number five: Joe Archer in brussells does his beatbox impression with a local choir singer outside the pizza place. Number six: Franklin nicks a hemp bar from a shop on the way to a race. After we all ate it, we completely missed a motorway junction or three. High as kites, love it. Number seven: On the way to another race in Snakes' Fiat. When trying to overtake a lorry, Franklin, Ryan and myself all had to rock back and forth to gain enough speed to overtake it!!! The lorry driver was pissing himself. That's it for now....keep 'em coming Macca, Franklin and Ryan!!

CommentsWell done to the lads today who won the "Livingstone Relays" The big man came home 2nd on leg 1 ( not to bad saying iv'e consumed close to 30 pints of wife beater in 2 days!) O'neil got us in the lead on leg 2, the frankmiester ( runner up in the Wreake Valley stompe!) maintained the lead then Brommers scorched round to destroy the field! Then to finish of there was alovely buffet, very nice! Well done lads, friking massive trophy as well! nice bird running in a liluc g string as well, mmmm nice! Ryan

CommentsSorry franko, but some of us have to go to work now and then, so i wont be trainning today, but enjoy the rain boys, Macca PS, Are we sill almost as famos as chicargo bears?
CommentsIs it just me or does it seem like the return of the prodigal son (franko) has kicked every one up the ass. Lets face it when el franko came back and started knocking out quicker sessions than the regulars we all better take note. Think its done the club the world of good.
CommentsYep Old school franco seems to have stimulated some hard work from you lazy c**ts. Wait till i make my comeback, you'll be on you hands and knees begging for mercy! Turlo
CommentsAS FAR AS I AM AWARE TURLO, THE CLUB HAS NEVER GONE DOWN THAT AVENUE. IE HANDS AND KNEES BEGGING FOR MERCY. OH YEAH EXCEPT FOR TAYLOR AND SIDDON TOILET INCIDENT. C U SOON AT TRAINING THEN TURLO FRANKLIN
CommentsHow do you think he got the name all,4's carter? You like it on your hands and knees dont you turdlo, you batty man, See you soon.... Lordy
CommentsThe Carter has risen from his bed on a lovely Easter holidays, one more week to go boyzz. Well done on winning those relays lads, hopefully that should prepare you well for suttonpark. I have not been at training for another week due to my calf being nailed again (some what p***ing me off). Anyway, see the hardcore down saff on wed. Just to cheer those of you at work up...... A man is in bed with his wife when he turns to her and says, "You know, if you firmed up your belly you could get rid of that wobble" The wife was really mad but kept quiet. Then he truned and said, "You know, if you firmed up your waist you could get rid of your ripples" Again the wife was furious, but still kept quiet. Then he turned and said, "you know, if you firmed up your ar*e, you could get rid of your saddle bags". The wife could hold back no longer and shouted at her husband, "You know, if you firmed up your penis, I could get rid of the milkman, postman and your brother!!" J'aime Deux.
CommentsGood gag nel piece! Just letting the boys no that i spoke to the mercury so there should b a little write up in there tonight.
CommentsPeter, I have a couple of entry forms and a timetable that I have scanned (into TIF format) and need to be made available. Is this possible on the site? I can easily transfer into PDF format if this is easier. Cheers Richard
CommentsGood to hear that the Livingstone relay winners 2003 are receiving the accolade they deserve. Good to hear that the hardcore 4 (it’s really 3 but hardcore 4 has a nice ring to it- I feel a Haiku coming on Carter). The only drawback is that there isn’t a hard core 12. Speaking of 12 it is time to unveil the National 12 Stage Team. Those who have a questionmark after their name need to respond as we are assuming availability as opposed to knowing availability (I will attempt to contact personally). The order shown is leg order. Odd numbered legs are long legs for the elimination of any doubt.
Comments1. Nick Mapp 2. Franklin 3. Vince 4. Williams 5. Ryan 6. Tom Meakin? 7. Brommers 8. Chris Manning 9. O’Neill 10. Dan Doyle 11. Theo 12. Jon Bailey? Tim Doran? Neil Carter? The time and place to meet will be announced Thursday on the site but use your normal contacts for transport. If you are struggling then give me or Chris or Ryan a call. Cheers Brommers
CommentsYes Franklin will be down training as soon as I've been given the all clear to start running again! And for those f**kers who don't think im serious i'm currently training 3 hours a day although no running - student life ! Dan doyle - just got the message off my mum that u rang me on sunday night! Soz was not in, living in loughborough at the mo and not got a permanent number, so can you leave your mob no here or at [email protected] and i'll get in touch! Good look at the 12 stage boys Turlo
CommentsR some of the boyz back from altitude yet? The sooner every1 can confirm their participation for saturday the better, obviously we will have to find replacements! Ill b driving so ill have space for a couple, give us a bell a.s.a.p. I won't be down on wed again sorry lads!
CommentsWhy does Karl Marx drink herbal tea? because proper tea is theft!!!!!!!!
CommentsRichard If you could E mail me with what you have then I'll try to upload them onto the Web. I think I can convert TIF's into something the web will recognise, anyway best if I give it a go. Email is "[email protected]" Peter.
CommentsAlright lads just got back from a swoop. Sorry i meant run. just to let whoever needs to know i can run on Saturday at the 12 stage. Hi wayne, i hope rest of the altitude trip is going well, say hi to Miles, James, and Doran for me. Dr Cripp.

CommentsAAARRRR, Pieces of Carter here. I be seeking the EL FRANCO north of fresh water rocks, I believe he is wishing to board the good ship Shaggin' Wagon, bound for Port Sutton Park. By the hook on me hand I shall be bellowing "row, row, row ya boat" to the Swoop Doyle, Lanky Legs Bailey, and Rocket Ryan (be it known he has outrun my fairest sea cannon). All of these bandits shall be aboard, so readeth the board of messages El Franco and send me your number!!!! I've left details on Notice Board young J.F. Ryan - We have a few pirates to be transporting, so I'll take us all up in the one and only shaggin' wagon if you want, I'll give a ring friday or something. Cheers lads, Neil (that eye patch is grinding into me cheek) Carter
CommentsAhoy there land lubbers! Highwayman Falkner will be aboard the fair ship shagger, any idea wat time we will be setting sail searching for sukken treasures + mermaids of a plenty? i hear the trechurous park of sutton will be awash with mermaids, also plenty of sexual exploits will be going on at the pieces of gold's palace of gold!
Commentssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp.
CommentsTHE FRANKLIN SNAP DRAGON CAMERA WILL BE IN USE ON SATURDAY. THE DAVID BAILEY CAMERAMAN WILL BE WHIRLWIND CARTER, IF THATS ALRIGHT WITH YOU CARTER.
CommentsBailey, take your racing flats to Sutton you're gonna need em. Anybody know the whereabouts of Meakin? Also need more people to send me via Email their own contact details including mobile numbers.
Commentsdo athletes differing 'pain threshold' levels have any significant difference to overall performance times. if so, how can this be measured, if at all? Is there any qualitative or quantitative methods of study?
CommentsUMMMMM, I would have to say that running hurts and thats why i like it, dont know if that helps answer your question mistery dude? Cheers Macca P.S. Good luck for the weekend men! and you bailey.
Commentswho are the best eastenders lookalikes in the club?Ryan looks like robbie jackson and dot cotton. robert orr
CommentsWho's is the random comment about "threshold"? my bird can take a hell of a lot of pain, (if u no wat i mean) + she can't run to save her life!
CommentsEastenders hey? i think Rob Orr looks like well ard the dog or the gay 1 pauline hangs around with or Sonia or Fat Pat, no its Fat Barry! come back with better digs fat man!!!
Commentsthanks lot owls. it seems you r all just a bunch of tossers. i.e my pain threshold question. thanks a lot county based athlete
CommentsEasy! In future you should ask any sports science questions such as your one on the discussion board as thats what its there for. The chat section is more for banter between athletes, which is why your question didn't get any serious supplies! In response to your original question I don't know of any specific tests, which purely measure "pain threshold". Wingate tests, lactate tolerance tests and VO2 max test measure maximal performance and you could make assumptions about one's pain tolerance from those tests. It would be very difficult to measure if performance was due to a high pain thershold or superior physiological factors. In my own opinion the harder you train the more "pain" you go through and the more able you are to deal with this "pain" in the future. In future please put a name to your message and don't go around calling people tossers if you are not manly enough to put your name to it. Turlo
Commentswhile we're here lets play a game of guess who this spineless c**t is! I originally thought it could of been Paul Ard as he usually uses the "county based athlete" line but he wouldn't call anyone without putting his name to it. So who could it be, my moneys on some waster who trains once a week and calls themself an athlete! Any ideas Turlo
CommentsI my eyes its some green and white out of town prick, who still has the cheek to run at the county champs or a glove wearing snake hateing mother fu##er, who runs with the style of the pepperami man.But to be honest im not really sure?? Cheers Macca
CommentsThe Carter feels some hostility on this web-site!!! Anyway, I don't give a sh*t about abusing non-OWLs athletes, but it's very nice of them to feel that leaving a sensible question on the chat page is going to receive a sensible answer, no hope I'm afraid young mystery man!! If you want a sensible answer without abuse (I'm not sure that's possible), then you've got to write the question in the context of all the other entries, i.e. in the vein of pirates and medeavel knights,thus- AAARRRR, praise be the gods if I can take no more pain after a good thrashing in the cabin by Franklin Big Hook. How is it be possible to rise above ye pain threshold, whilst maintaining swashbuckling training. Now that's how to put forward a question!!!! See ya Saturday big boys. All 4's Oh yeah, anyone coming with Cabin boy Carter to sutton park, I be setting sail about 11am, but I will text you all in the morrow around tea time.
CommentsFRANKLIN, Carter here again. I tried putting my mobile number on the Notice Board but it doesn't seem to have appeared, so I'll put it here..... 07739 109 274 If I get any funny phone calls from you other sheisters, I'll give you six of the best lashings with me hook, and wash it down with sea water as salty as a seagulls ar*e. LOve to you all!!!!!
CommentsTURLO. RE SPINELESS C..T ENTRY. IF IT IS SOMEONE WHO ONLY TRAINS ONCE A WEEK AND CALLS THEMSELVES AN ATHLETE, IT COULD BE ANY OF THE OWLS.

Well done chaps on a spiffing day of athletics, I most enjoyed watching you tootle around, lightening speed and all that, quaff quaff. Now lets remember squadies, pip pip, we know it makes sense to do the Midland Track League on saturday. Get those darn quills out and sign your name to the cause of trackness, young stallwarts. You never know old boy, the Carter may have enough calf muscle left to have a go at the welly wang, maybe even the coconut shy. Right-o, be off with you.....chocks awayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! The Carter party rocked saturady night!!! Swoop Doyle managed to spill enough beer on my carpets to drown an army, Franklin was touching every lady's back side in the house, Ryan showed us how to drink champagne properly (he's very upper class you know), O'neill was discussing the finer points of horsemanship, and the big man Bailey (lanky cabin boozer) was loving the triple vodkas!!!!! Cheers all for a wicked laugh (one of Ryan's mates managed to whip off with my dads wall-sized Barometer!!!) P.S. Bailey and Franklin were loving the double bed together.
CommentsPETER THE GREAT AS I NOW HAVE BEEN INFORMED YOU ARE CALLED. I HAVE A NUMBER OF ACTION SHOTS FROM THE 12 STAGE ON MY CAMERA. DO YOU HAVE A SCANNER SO YOU CAN PUT THEM ON THE WEBSITE?

CommentsIn Lutterworth!!
CommentsHello magazine weren't there so they didn't think it would be posh enough, little did they no that we were sipping the CRYSTAL!!!
CommentsYou were right there Mr Falkner. Those birds didn't realise the class and quality of a Carter party, especially with the champagne flowing, LOVE IT!!! Also Franklin, my mate Rob(the shearerloook alike who seemed to enjoy electricuting himself on the cooker ignition)said his bird said some runner dude kept feeling her ass!!!! You know she was loving it. It was funny when Ryan told Big Ben that his bird must have a crap personality if she's good looking!!!!! Cheers also to Bailey (I don't do Southern Comfort) and Doyle (San Miguel, F**king San Miguel!!!) and of course to Mr O'neill for bringing class to the arrangements. The Carter is signing off to buy a new bottle of Vodka before Mr Carter senior arrives back from Majorca> LOVE 2
CommentsHazaar to Peter the Great for completing yonder marathon in the weekend yester. How was doth course, was it hilly like the rolling high seas, or reasonably flat like the battle fields of Naseby? My gaunlet and straw hat doth bow down before yee.
CommentsThanks for that encouragement. The Shakespeare Marathon is not the easiest course for your first effort, fairly hilly, 2 laps, so you meet those same hills again. A boring 5 mile finish along a disused railway line, now a walk way. To top it all the wind was evil, it blew a force 6 or 7 down the uphill bits and up the down hill bits. Enjoyable in a massochistic sort of way. Peter. W.
Commentsloving the discussion forum. im bk with chemical miles this thurs.we are no longer a threat to national security im glad to say.doran u missed a classic miles birthday..his new nickname is octopus...u will have to guess why. ww see u all soon crip well done .the most significant owls perf of the last few days!!
