King on getting back to match fitness Marlon King has spoken to Sky Blue Player about the problem he had in getting match fit.King joined Coventry City, not havng played for close to eleven months and said about his first training session: "I think I was running on adrenaline."The body was hanging in there but the mind wanted me to to do things but the body would not allow it."I had kept myself fit and focused, but unless you are actually touching the ball and doing match stuff it will be different. You can go running as much as you like, but as soon as you touch the ball, you are going to find that tiredness because it's two different types of fitness."It was hard to get back into the groove because the body needed a good few months to adjust."I kept getting little niggles that would put me back a few weeks but I would say by the end of October, I managed to kick on and hopefully I am finding form which I can continue until the end of the season."
