What club do you run for and what region are you in?Hey Steepler,
Used to love X Country when I was younger, almost every saturday for county school meets and stuff. Not done any of it since back then but want to pick it up again. It's good fun. Any pointers of how best to get back into it? I'm filling in a registration form for a running club and I did tick X Country under interests![]()
:lol: - I'm guessing you'll know what I mean by 'Audy'. Not a bad school by all accounts... A bit too fond of rugby for my liking but had some real encouragement with my running thereBTW ED, it's time for Sunday Twilight Zone - what school did you go to in these parts?!
Well, none as yetWhat club do you run for and what region are you in?![]()

Don't tell me you went to 'Edgy' or 'Twoey'? heh!
Wonder if there was any kind of overlap in the PE teachers we hadI'm an old Aldwinian lol, yes Audy was my school - hated Rugby too but I ran cross country a few times for the school - before I lapsed into errorful ways for the next 20 years![]()
I only remember a chap called Ward? Had an english teacher by the name of sweetman, bit of a bully, he slimmed down at one point but just found a pic of him and he's put on about 40 stone :lol:Wonder if there was any kind of overlap in the PE teachers we had![]()
Both were still there, although Sweetman was involved in some kind of scandal not long after I left and ending in his dismissal :sI only remember a chap called Ward?

I think I am a bit older than you so wouldn't be surprised if half my teachers were retired or worse!
Trigg rings vague bells - heard a tale about him drinking his own urine in a pub, tho it may be somebody else.Both were still there, although Sweetman was involved in some kind of scandal not long after I left and ending in his dismissal :s
Ward was still there - didn't like me very much. It might be because he played rugby against my uncles who didn't like him very much either!
My uncles are all a bit older than u but I don't know about any of my cousins - surname Thorpe.
Did you know PE teacher Andy Trigg? I'm sure he came in the top 100 at the London Marathon one year, bit of a sicko![]()
as much as i enjoy running in the mud... thank god im slowI'll be running my first XC season (since primary school) this Winter - I can't wait! :d
Local leagues and stuff I believe, our club was promoted to division one last year! (WHOOP!) so I guess this year is going to be against some bloody quick xc runners!
buggerWhat do you mean? the club tries to get everyone running!![]()
nice to meet you aswellas mentioned at the club this evening (was a pleasure to meet you and the missus btw); Some might... I've no idea... not ran it since primary school! I'll be trying to get advice from some other forumites on what trainers are most suitable for these kinda races.
I've heard of a few makes, such as Inov8, but I honestly don't know which trainer is for which surface (trail, fell, xc etc?!?!). Hopefully some kind soul will point me in the right direction![]()
