Wow, this lockdown was going to be an easy ride for the report writers. No races, nothing to report, right? I saved the witty and incredibly funny intro until last… but after pulling together this lot I’m now far too tired/had a few too many Sunday afternoon San Miguel* to come up with anything. Without …

An Alice in Wonderland theme feels rather appropriate this week as, based on the last seven days in social media land, considerable swathes of the club do indeed seem to have disappeared down a rabbit hole and re-appeared in a different world. A world where running around Glossop in fancy dress in daylight continues to …
A load of people bashed around the 10k route in various stages of undress… sorry- fancy dress. There was a spiderman, a wonderwoman, a steadily deflating dinosaur and an elf. (there was also a report of Rob sheldon blasting it out in luminous running gear, however, as that is perfectly normal attire for him, I’m …

HAPPY EASTER GDH! Hope it’s been chocolate and sunshine filled! (the latter probably not after about 4pm). It’s not often we get such cracking weather for a bank holiday weekend and whilst it’s a shame we all can’t be off elsewhere having fun, visiting family and friends, going to the beach, climbing mountains etc etc …
So it has been another bizarre week as we try to get our heads around the new normal and what this means from a running perspective. How far from home….? How remote….? How to stay motivated…? How to avoid all of the people…..? Whilst there has been a discernible dip in running and racing, the …
What a week! When Boris Johnson starts following you on Strava you know it’s time to change your privacy settings! As you would imagine, this is not going to be your standard weekly report. I checked the GDH inbox (washed hands first of course) and there was a single lonely race submission from Greg Wasinski …

Wizzard’s wish has finally come true, it’s Christmas every day! Well it is, as far as all the pubs and schools are shut, and there’s nowt left in the supermarkets. I have to say, I doubt this is what Roy Wood had in mind. Pretty much all races, including parkrun have already cancelled and it …

It would appear that the world is in the grip of the Corona Virus. There are all kinds of amusing jokes about running being good for you and making sure that we are self isolating, so I won’t bore you with too many of them here. The list of races cancelled/postponed is getting ever longer, …

So after rain, rain, rain and more rain, this week has finally bought with it some better running weather! And not just for those off enjoying their running abroad (no names mentioned Sean & Vicky Phillips and Chris Smith). There have been plenty of miles put in by a lot of people this week – …
It has been another weathery week with various combinations of snow, hail, wind and rain….soo very much rain. However, unlike the last few weeks, most of the planned races appear to have gone ahead albeit with altered courses in some instances to avoid them becoming aquathlons. And, where there were races, there were Harriers….. Trafford 10K …
