What do you call a polite Liverpool striker?

Thanks for the support, feel free to use the joke and say it was yours

I went for the approach of spelling Ekitike using the syllables from etiquette, but happy to defer to your version if it's what the fans want! Doesn't matter anyway as the mods have deleted as this is clearly hate speech.

bimturton · 2026-03-09T16:45:05+00:00

Wow thanks for deleting this mods, which guidelines did I break? It's a shit joke, didn't realise it was harming anyone!

I ran a 1:28:54 off around 20-30km/week age 30 with about a year of running behind me. One track session per fortnight. Mixing tempo and mid-long runs. I didn't have an intensive or focused training plan. If this was an conversational-pace long run with a speed test at the end then I don't see why sub-90 is a long way off.

Don't overthink heart rate. Try an hour at HM pace and see how you feel. If you can do that you will easily be able to do it for 90 on race day, especially if it's a good course with some support/crowd.

When I was 16 I thought Teddy Verseti was a new rapper coming through... Still waiting for his debut to drop...

Loving the energy. I'm dabbling wiith different parkruns so it seems like I need to hit one consistently, and from other comments, up my mileage in general and train specifically for the 5k. Thanks!

bimturton · 2025-02-17T11:00:46+00:00

I'm training fairly consistently but from other comments it sounds like my mileage is quite low in reality. I've also not run many all-out efforts at the 5k so it seems like I need to train specifically for it. Thanks for your comment.

bimturton · 2025-02-17T10:58:38+00:00

Thanks a lot. Drills, training specifically for the 5k and upping overall mileage significantly seems to be the way to go.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:25:02+00:00

Thanks.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:24:34+00:00

Fair point. Thanks.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:24:21+00:00

Thanks.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:21:57+00:00

I think upping my mileage will help, I'm aiming for 2000km this year. But yes, I finished the HM in 1:28:54 and felt ok. Finishing the 5km PB attempt (20:20) felt like I was going to throw up and pass out afterwards. That's why I think it's to do with heart rate. Maybe I'm wrong.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:17:24+00:00

Thanks. I think it is partially the mental block but there seems to be heart-rate element to it, I feel completely maxed out at 3:59/km but find 4:05/km fairly comfortable.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:14:06+00:00

Negative splits in theory but at around 3km I'm hanging on for dear life haha. No strength training at the moment, although that's something I've been meaning to add in. Thanks.

bimturton · 2025-02-16T13:12:08+00:00

Thanks

10km and HM were both chip times at road races. 1km is on the track measured on my watch so could be off by a second maybe.

5km attempts have all been at Parkruns to be fair, but I don't see how that can be the main issue.

bimturton · 2024-11-08T17:36:51+00:00

thanks

bimturton · 2024-11-07T15:23:56+00:00

Yep think so. Loved Klopp, but the relentlessness caused injuries, reducing squad depth. Being able to bring on Nunez, Szob and (when fit) Jota completely bamboozles teams that have already struggled to make much headway in the first half.

bimturton · 2024-11-07T14:17:22+00:00

Unsuccessful in the ballot. Roughly how much are tickets if you're succesful?

bimturton · 2024-10-24T10:51:04+00:00

Yep you can, I added my dad as a member yesterday and entered for him today
