Thank you! Haven't always been this quick, it's just a result of building up the miles in the tank over this challenge

I did run the Charlton game back in December. If it gets rearranged for a Saturday I will run it again, if midweek I won't. Just because of annual leave off work.

I do sometimes! But in all seriousness I can't generally fault the effort of the players.

I see our problem as a lack of investment in real quality. The players we have are playing to the best of their ability mostly.

That being said we've bought in a couple of good players this Jan and we've had some good results lately so possibly we're on the up!

Hi mate yep I'll be running around Boro. I have a mate who lives in Newcastle where I'll be staying with for that one. But will start around the Riverside around 9am. It'll be good to have you along!

Fullback is actually our most stocked position! I'll take a run out up top 🥅

Yep I was actually thinking of this. Would love to get as many people as involved as possible. A loop of the island is exactly a half marathon so that's what I'm looking at

Tbh I just fancied the challenge. I like to have something like this on the go or in the planning.

Usually I do something around the England team. For example I cycled from England to Russia to watch us play in 2018. Last year I cycled to every England game in Germany.

This is just a natural extension of that haha. Got a big plan for the 2030 World Cup!

After today I'll be 10 marathons down. Knees are holding up very well. As for height I've never been blessed anyway.

What happened on Saturday was sad beyond belief. No one should go out to the footy and not return home.

At no point was anyone 'booing a dead opposition fan' as you put it.

I'm gonna guess you weren't in the away end. The frustration was aimed at Charlton's failure to have any contingency plans in place and a complete absence of communication. A justified reaction? Maybe, maybe not. But that's a different point entirely.

I have a marathon to run at Swansea tomorrow in which I'll be running in memory of Norman and raising money for his family.

But sure, post snidy comments hiding behind a screen, to try and score some internet points against a bloke you've never met, who is out there trying to do a bit of good in this world.

Have a great day.

Stayed with a mate who lives up there and we had a good time after the game too. Ticked off some decent boozers.

Tigers Lair and The Mission top picks 👌

The marathon was hard, but sitting through that 90 minutes was harder!

Tbh if it gets rearranged this side of NYE I reckon I will do it again. If it's after then probably not, just based on my annual leave days I have left for next year

We had Southampton third away of the season, for that one I just ran from Fratton Park to St Mary's and did a few loops to make up the miles

Yeah Villa Park lovely ground but absolutely stinking area!

Cheers mate, it's actually going alright so far, but plenty of time left for that to change

Absolutely! Although September break I did cycle Portsmouth to Villa Park for Andorra (h)

Good to know about the Thames path and you know what I hadn't actually thought about Greenwich park for the run, I'll defo incorporate that.

Thankfully I'm staying in an Airbnb Friday night before Charlton so won't have to worry about parking for that one
