Also, I binned the interval session on Wed that the club was doing (pyramids from 100m up to 200m and back down, all at eyeballs out pace!) on the basis that I was feeling a bit tight and stiff. So I jogged the 5 miles around rugby pitches while they hared up and down. That's a sort of rest!  G

I suspect those may be larger than standard pitches, G (though when you've got a particularly loopy 16 year old at number 12 who thinks nothing of tacking from one side of the pitch to the other at light speed and you've got to try and be there when she finally get knobbled most pitches do feel about half a mile wide, in my experience)

5 miles was many, many laps of 3 adjacent rugby pitches Raemonder, not just once round one pitch!
And I strongly believe a game of rugby, esp at 12/13 (I was a centre) is much, much harder than a 5 mile jog! G

As a forward I heartily agree. I swear half the time you backs are more interested in making us follow you around than in scoring tries.

Backs in my day were allowed to run around avoiding being touched and usually without bothering with the ball. Was a great way to ensure not getting dirty or hurt. Well, wingers anyway. Outside and esp inside centres did a bit more nobbling! Nowadays the backs are the size of forwards and can run 100m in 10s too. Scary. Fair play to you Raemonder! G

Had a lovely swim today - and 5 minutes in the sauna afterwards which was very relaxing.

It's resting from running Sharkie.
And how come no one's shouting at AL for her splashy-splashy swim thang?  Hmm, hmm?!

I am sure rugby that was played TODAY by actual people rather than idle musing on the nature of the game back in the day is as admissible as swimming that was done today
