Things really hotting up this week, not just literally, but also in our Championships. Saturday was ridiculously warm and boy, there was a lot of group photos this week! Thanks everyone for the contributions, and well done t everyone that got out there. Put your feet up, and enjoy the highs, lows, (and rants) from …
Nowadays you don’t need to wait for Michael Fish’s weather report, you just have a scroll through Strava. From the titles I can reliably inform everyone that it’s been a warm one, sunny, humid and in some cases brutal. Of course though, now it seems to be raining again… Here’s the weekly report. Kinder Trog …

No. I didn’t forget. To be honest, this is a true epic, and I have to say a massive thanks to Skusey and Crossman for putting this together for me. Without those 2, you’d have had me making up a load of drivel that really didn’t pay true homage to what an event this has …
So not a huge amount of stuff going on this week. I guess it being the middle of the year and all that everyone is a bit chilled out and relaxing, drinking beer and generally enjoying the marvellous weather that everyone seems to be going on about. Thankfully there were a few non-layabouts this week, …

My Jura Fell Race 2019 – An emotional and physical rollercoaster I’ve been running with Glossopdale Harriers since about 1998 now, and probably since the early 2000s I heard about the Jura Fell Race. “Are you serious?” was my first and second response. It’s half way to Iceland, who wants to travel so far for …

After a relatively quiet week on the racing front last week, normality resumed and you lot were out in force this week – rain never stopped anyone (ok maybe it stopped us coming to Castleton but …

In a break from the last few weeks, there appears to have been very little racing this week and the million dollar question is …. has Team GDH peaked already for 2019 and worn its collective self out or is it biding its time for a glorious summer season? Only time (and Strava) will tell. …
We’ve seen some epic racing from you lot this year, and that’s resulted in some epic weekly reports to match! Last week Mr Stinton had probably one of the most challenging to date, but where I’d be flapping, he seemed to just take to in his stride. Even with a bonus Bank Holiday to contend …
I’m not even sure where to start this week. Harriers have been all over the place, some even as far as Hayfield. There have been vampires, incidents in portaloos, swearing, potential puking and turned ankles. A typical week in the world of Glossopdale Harriers! Hayfield: Three Days in May It was all going on in …

The sun came out from behind the rain clouds for the weekend, inspiring a whole world of reccy-ing and social running plus a fair amount of racing. Well done everyone! Cressbrook Crawl (courtesy of Ian Crutchley) After pulling out of the Hardmoors race, a shocking week at work, and still reeling from William Mather’s cruel …
