Allegedly this is June. The month of midsummer. We appear to now have a monsoon season and I’m not entirely sure where it came from. Although there has been a lot of general running around this week, there isn’t a massive amount to talk about in terms of racing. (I think). What I have found, …
Quite the week in which May turned to June, the flowers came out, people came back from Jura, others headed to the LAMM, a champs race was run and all kinds of other excitement happened across the board. Did you know that at this time of year we don’t actually have a night time here …

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 …
Yes indeed, it was one of the busiest racing weekends of the year, and a whole bunch of people were out getting their vests on. I’m certain the weather looks good in most of the photos, but rest assured, in some places, atmospheric conditions were not good in the slightest. It was superb to see …
Well, what a funny old week. Various bits and pieces have been happening, as tends to when we get to May and the whole racing thing really kicks off with a sha-bang. A fair few people out and about over the past 7 days, so quite a bit to read. Grab a cuppa and try …
A few things happened this week.

Quite a lot going on this Bank Holiday – not only were there a load of races going on, but also people heading out on the 3 trig challenge, parkrunners, moochers and general bog bashers. The weather held fine, which was astonishing in its own right, the summer legs are certainly coming out to play! …
Well. My word. I’m sitting here with a malt-based recovery beverage in my hand, bewildered by the fascinating array of running-ness that has gone on this weekend. It may take a while to type through, so if by the end of it I am becoming less coherent, blame it on the beer. Lyme Park 10k …
This Easter weekend had a few things going on in it. A few of us went on a massive Easter egg hunt in Wales, and didn’t find many eggs, a few races were run, I got told off by Emma Peters for running too far last week, and Mark realised that running on the flat …

This weekend saw a turn for the summer. Yes, clear blue skies during the day, amazing amounts of stars at night, sunburn for those silly enough to go out without SPF on, and general running aplenty. If the weather continues like this, we’ll have a hosepipe ban within a week and the Daily Express screaming …
