  1. Football is a sport for poofs. Greasy foreign millionaires rolling around on the ground in agony because they've lost their tub of hair gel. Death scenes which would put a Shakespearean actor to shame after the slightest tap on the shin pads. Poseurs. It is a sport which is full of poseurs and effeminate men.

    Yet still not as gay as wrestling.

  2. I think faster would be a good goal for you - more effort, better technique and more speed will leave you feeling more accomplished on a workout. If you're feeling tired at the end of your 30x25 then you're in a decent place. If it's not really hitting you hard then you're not getting the most out of your workout.

    I'll put this out there - distance is the worst indicator of how good a swim session was. It's extremely easy to get caught up in numbers, and I was doing that myself over summer when I was setting my 10km a week swimming goals.

    Now I am doing 2000m on a morning swim and focusing really hard on my technique.

    It would help to know exactly what you're doing in your 30 minute session - is it 30 minutes of constant lengths, or 4-6 lengths and a break?

    Remember:

    Distance only means something when you link it to time.

    As you get faster, your distance naturally goes up.

    Unrelated,

    I did a 2000m swim in 40 minutes this morning, would have done more but I was helping my girlfriend with her technique. Back in the pool on Thursday and I will do another 2000m minimum, but more likely aim for 2500m instead. My freestyle is improving greatly so my distance/time is improving. My 2:06/100m from early October dropped to 1:56/100m last Thursday and a slower 1:59/100m today.

    Running every Sunday at football, swimming 2x a week, just need to get cycling again but I begin my house move on Friday so I will be a bit stuck...

  3. Crawl is the answer - I do 2500m of breaststroke in an hour, but 3000m doing a crawl/breaststroke mix in the same time.

    I do 10 miles on the bike in 22 minutes, but I'm a trained Time Trial cyclist and an ex regional swimmer.

    I can't run though. Last night my fastest run top speed was only 9.1mph somehow, and my usual running pace is 8mins a mile.

  4. I saw a woman ranting at an Asian guy about a month back, and he wasn't getting drawn into it. She kept on going like this daft cow and I told her to shut up because she's an embarrassment and teaching her kid some horrible manners.

    I'm pretty mild, but wouldn't have stood for this and would have told that woman where to go.

  5. Cobblers have been issued a winding up petition by HMRC, so it looks like I am going to need another team to support soon

    Another team who are consistently disappointing and never win anything......... hmmmm how about Arsenal?

    They'll be saved. When was the last time an English league club went bust?
