The GDH inbox has generally been a barren affair during lockdown, but as I donned my mask and peered in this week there were three emails! So here we go! The Beehive Five Paul Skuse has been pushing this like he’s got shares in it. A road 5km with a vomit-inducing climb at the end, …
Whilst some of us have been making up for lost time in the boozers of G Town this week, others have taking full advantage of having a little more freedom, and decided to go run somewhere else. I know, traitors! This has necessitated the use of that thing with 4 wheels, that’s been littering up …

For a change, partly due to a general lack of racing news and maybe also because I might have just got a license for a new ‘visual communication’ app, I opted to portray the majority of this week’s run report diagrammatically… and then, to my great excitement whilst I was mid mind-map, a report materialised …
And just like that…it’s the 21st June?! Despite feeling like this covid weirdness has been going on forever, at the sametime it seems insane that we are almost in July! Normally i’d be getting all excited for 2 weeks of doing very little work and screaming at the TV whilst Wimbledon is on. The weekends …
Having busted my ankle again (no, the other one this time), I’ve been in hiding all week and trying to avoid Facebook and Strava. But then I realised its my report, and I need social media to do it, so resolved to just keep calm and carry on. So I’ll say a big thanks to …
I couldn’t truly claim to be British if I didn’t start immediately talking about the weather. Sometime last week in the Costa Del Glossop I was stretched out in a paddling pool cradling a beer with the glorious sun beating down upon me. Fast-forward a week and I spent Sunday morning with the lad in …
Despite the beautiful weather and the dry conditions underfoot, this may well be the shortest report ever in the history of such things as we swing into week whatever-it-is-now of lockdown. The mailbox (gdhweeklyreports@gmail.com) is bare and, over the last couple of weeks, the GDH Facebook page has taken on the appearance of a buy-swap-sell …
Yes, we’re into week whatever the heck it is now of lockdown. What was meant to be a summer of racing and shouting about successes and enjoyment of crashing around various courses across the country and world, we are making do with some rather interesting challenges and ideas in our own locales. The virus still …

A lot can happen in a week eh. Twas the week Boris told us all to “stay alert”, that we “should” be doing unlimited exercise (that’s gonna be hard – think he meant we “can”), welcome cleaners into our homes, but still not to go visiting your aged parents. Unless of course, you just wanna …
As if it wasn’t hard enough to keep track of what day it is. This week we had a Bank Holiday on a Friday to celebrate VE day, which for most of us involved socially distanced street parties, but Will Mather had something else in mind. More about that later. Friday was lovely, Saturday was …
