  1. My mistake sorry its 5 and a half foot not 7.
  2. Just so you get an idea sizewise this isnt a big dog by any means and its a medium sized mill.....personally i think you'd be making a mistake getting anything much smaller....think this ones about 7 foot in length.
  3. What sort of dogs are they mate ?.....if they're adult dogs that have never run a free running slatmill you might be surprised how long it can take a dog to get used to one....plenty of dogs get spooked by them,the noise in particular. Do you need your dogs full out running wide open ? if not then a normal human type slow running electric mill would probably suit better.......you cant condition a dog on an electric mill but for just ticking over and maintenance type exercise they are good......or even one of them Fit Fur Life ones i only saw one up for sale the other day but they are bigg
  4. According to Google the world record for 10 year old boys is a kid called Bershawn Jackson.....in a time of 12.43
  5. I wonder if " The Defence Forces said warning shots were fired by personnel during the incident " is a clever way of saying " we missed ! " One of your own is in the process of getting stabbed and your DEFENCE forces dont take him out ?....well why not ?
  6. It was his PB mate....naturally in the biggest race of your life where you've prepared immaculately and peaked for the one race your more likely to run a PB than anywhere else.....hence most world records are achieved at the big meets or Worlds/Olympics etc
  7. Thanks mate hope you are doing ok.....the fact im sitting on here on a Saturday indicates where my heads at im too mentally fragile at the moment to be arguing with anyone so im not going to add my opinions....all id say is you have people dishing out advice these days who have never been there,they've learned everything they know from the equivalent of a text book or naively listen to these Joe Rogan type characters who sound super intellectual but actually understand very little about how the body works.....we learned in an age where all you had was each other and you learned from your own
  8. The Essex schools record for 100m for under 12's is 12.2 secs i know that for a fact mate.......the kid runs for Woodford Green AC so id imagine he gets the correct coaching.......10 year olds doing 11 seconds just isnt believable mate.
  9. Trouble is at that age you are competing in school years meaning there could be almost a whole year between competitors if one kids born in September and another kid in the same race is born in July/August thats a massive difference at 10 and 11......must admit 11 second 100m at 10 years old sounds far fetched to me.....looking at them times posted the 2.29 for 800m sounds a good time im pretty sure i won our district sports with 2.21 but i was maybe 12 by then....the long jump distances of 3.80 sounds so sweet ....but hitting the board bang on is a nightmare i remember having trouble with tha
  10. I find these type of chats scary to read nowadays just how much poor information people are picking up....its almost like the latest fad or craze where people get into strength and fitness and learn everything they can spending hours researching stuff without ever really getting a real understanding of why they are doing things i wont advise anybody i dont know about anything nutrition/juice wise anymore as the majority of people are simply training for the wrong reasons. I remember a time when you lifted weights and got fit because it was fun......usually competitive sportsmen or ex spor
  11. Havent spoken to Terry in years he was always a bit of an oddball character,bit socially awkward etc ....im told he's even worse nowadays,conspiracy theorist/wannabe politician type Years ago a lot of local fighters all different ages did the same few runs it was seen as a gym bonding type of thing,we would all start off in one big group and after a while break off into little groups dependant on the chit chat.....you'd always see people drifting away from Terry to the point he'd be literally talking to himself....and then would come a sudden burst of speed way out in front to disguise t
  12. Like many other subjects the internet has created simply far too much information to the point you now have strength and conditioning " experts " that have never had any better reason to become fit than to make a few bob being " experts " Nowadays you can become a strength/fitness coach without ever leaving your bedroom ffs ! Get out and in the gym and learn/observe what strength/fitness means from what we used to call " the inside out,not the outside in "
  13. Im not referring to " bull terriers " as i dont really understand why they even come into discussions about fighting dogs but regarding purity and a paper pedigree.....some of those old timers years ago would be able to tell just from the naked eye if a dog was a pure family dog these men went to extraordinary lengths at times to maintain clean bloodlines they would regard breeding to another family within the breed as a complete outcross....to a different breed completely would just be unimaginable......the reason some of todays dogs can be traced back dog for dog over so long is because of t
  14. If you are still alive by Friday maybe climb Ben Nevis over the weekend just to loosen yourself up for Monday again
  15. The majority of todays magistrates are infact district judges who are paid state employees doing as they're told rather than traditional decision making,upstanding citizen volunteer magistrates.
  16. Bless you mate thankyou....yes their own son who was my best pal as kids he died when we was in our late teens and i kind of became a replacement son i suppose,which was handy really as i never got on with my own parents......he was a beautiful man though mate a good christian i'd have done anything for,i just adored him and will miss him terribly....likewise mate sorry for your loss and i hope time has been a healer for you....time just dont feel like it'll heal anything at this point.
  17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2C7X9o8SIA Ok mate .......your time pisses all over this yank kids national record then....and on grass in plimsolls as well fair do's
  18. Cross country wasnt really a thing for us as kids as we didnt have any countryside but we used to do what they still call the block runs which were basically road running around certain streets that ran parallel to the school apparently i still hold one of the records to this day,only worked out to about 800 meters but seemed miles as kids.....as a young boxer pounding the streets years ago we often did the hill sprints at Beckton ski slope...he was 5 or 6 years older than me some of you boxing chaps might of heard of him Terry Marsh,he had without doubt the most unbelievable engine ive ever
  19. Right ok....the yank Quincy Hall i think will be the first to go under 43 seconds over the next few years but your pals record im sure was 43.8 something..... so just shows how difficult the event is when in 55 odd years the record has come down less than a second !
  20. Just watching this triple jump competition makes you realise just how unbelievable Jonathan Edwards jumps were years ago these medalists are getting nowhere near it his record must be 30 years old now, cant see that ever being beaten.
  21. 400 is a killer of an event as a schoolkid i came second in England back when the Nationals were held in Derby my time of 56.2 beat the old record so only the kid who beat me that day had run faster for our age at that time.....i was never quick enough for the 100/200 and didnt have the frame or endurance for 1500 but the 400 was just about guts and brute force you had to " relaxed sprint " from gun to line...... Lee Evans was before my time but Michael Johnson,Butch Reynolds etc....even our own Roger Black were all phenomenal athletes Johnson was just a freak of nature.....real tester of an e
  22. 1000/1 accumulator surely ?
  23. Normally id be raring to go about now but just had the most heartbreaking few months of my life.....an old couple who from a kid have treated me like a son passed away within a week of each other in June....both massive Hammers fans i just cant get any motivation for footie at all at the moment i know we've bought a few players nobody ive ever heard of and cant be bothered to find out.....im sure once the season gets into swing old habits will kick back in....i wouldnt expect a lot this year its most likely going to have a bit of a " starting all over again " feel to it.....dont think we'll be
  24. For me you have to look past the political angles they are using sport for same with the footie......whatever is attracting a lot of eyes will be used to make political points you'd be cutting off your nose to spite your face by refusing to watch it for that reason. Its a bit like the Eurovision song contest id imagine that was a legit singing contest at one point but now they've made a mockery of it....maybe the Olympics is heading the same way.
  25. Not sure whether your joking or not.....i f****n hope so ! I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you mean the old hundred yard dash.....on a track marked out in footsteps by a blind midget !
