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 …

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 …
