  • Does anyone know Jordan's 1500 metre time, I'm quite interested in this sort of thing as I used to run it at school in barefoot....

    Watt is a sprinter JC is a long distance runner... A striker usually runs 3-5km a game whereas a box to box midfielder usually tops 10-15km

    Most goalkeepers cover more than strikers by that logic
    Not at all, have a look at this:

    Rooney the only high scoring striker in the top 10 in the Premier League
  • Did anyone else think of Roy Castle when they saw the title?

    I'd like to think that Jordan's record breaking achievement was something more random like sitting in a bath of baked beans for 2 weeks or growing the largest onion ever.

    You want new strikers if they're only running 3-5km a game. You want 8 even upto 10km from your striker and 15km would be not too far from what most Championship midfielders cover in a busy game.
    Not sure that's quite correct. I remember Pritchard getting a load of press for covering something like 13km against Wolves a couple of years back and that was the highest tally of any player in the championship that season or something.
    Maybe I've overcooked the midfielders but I haven't for the strikers, I know George Boyd of Burnley AVERAGED just over 12km a match and that's over the course of the season, point still stands that if your striker usually runs 3-5km a game you are really going to struggle, there would be hardly any closing down and you'd be missing a fair few runs. Strikers cover similar to defenders and midfielders edge it with about 1.5x them both I would say.
    Do you work for Brentford now Wharburton has gone? Interestingly they pulled out of Kramer race because his stats didn't add up.
  • Are they deep fried or covered in chocolate?

    Don't think Jordan is the sort to blow his own trumpet.
  • He's too modest / he knows dedication is what you need

  • Thanks for that VG, under 5 mins is pretty good.
  • I've got a feeling Ba is going to break the 1500m record today......
  • That was interesting to watch, thanks for the insight @Ollywozere

    Some of them are right moody buggers though

    Atletico ask Berbatov how far he'd actually run in a game....

    Agree I undersold a striker, it is more 5-10km unless it's Berba

    I wouldn't be over the moon about life if I'd just sprinted 1500m in the heat either.
  • I ran the 1500m in exactly 5 minutes when aged 11, so is it just me that thinks that time is quite slow for a young midfield professional? The guy who beat me at our sports day ran 4 mins 50 secs.

    Not a boast on my behalf. I ran for the school at this distance in Bexley competitions (never for an athletics club) and never finished in the top 3 or anything.

    No way did you run a 5 minute mile when you were 11! That's very impressive (in my non-athletics head).
  • Not a mile, 1500m. Genuine honest.

  • Not a mile, 1500m. Genuine honest.

    to run 1500m (just shy of a mile 1609.344) in 5mins is rapid for a non athletic time.

    My mate is a PT and professional running coach, his mile is 4:44.

    So around 5:15 for an 11 year old would be very quick... sounds like you missed a calling in life.

  • 5 min for 1500m is very impressive time in any age group.
  • Thanks for that VG, under 5 mins is pretty good.

    As they cross the line, Bloom says 4:37 for Cousins and 38 for Fox ... strange.

    OG tried to speak to him before the run and he said no. Anyway not just him, they mostly seemed a little nonchalant.

    Was it 3 or 4 laps ? Either way that makes each lap 500m or 375m for 1500m

    "The length of a pitch must be between 90m and 120m and the width not less than 45m and not more than 90m - BBC"

    Interestingly (?) that means the pitch could be 90m square which be freekin' odd.

    However it shows that the maximum perimeter is 420m and the minimum 270m.

    I want to know exactly how far they ran @Ollywozere.......
