A few bits and bobs going on this week.

After a hectic week with both a road and a fell champs race going on, there were a few people on the facebook group who were asking how the champs worked…. I kind of hoped it was a bit obvious from the explanation on the Road Champs page, the Fell champs page, and the Overall …

The week leading up to the second Bank Holiday of May turned out to be a proper warm one. Most of the runs on Strava mentioned the sun, the heat, the lack of clothing worn, and general reminiscence of the cooler days of Spring… seemingly forgetting the entirety of Spring was spent waiting for the …
