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 …
29th March – Dovedale. By Nicola Pennington After my rather cocky arrogant, “ I can run up any hills without the need for a recce, compass or map” attitude and subsequent disastrous Winter Tour of Bradwell, I thought it best that if I was to continue this fell running lark I’d better get some training …

A weekend of 2 halves. The Saturday was a delight. Sunshine and a little breeze. Certainly the calm before the storm. If you were going to get out this weekend, that was the day to do it. Sunday was a slightly different matter with the incoming Storm Ciara… weather warnings for rain and wind and …

Am I referring to the weather, the future of the country, or the potential law suit from a certain Mexican brewer, after some burk decided to name a pandemic flu virus after their product? I’ll let you decide. Surrounded by half completed DIY jobs which are likely to stay that way, I’m back this week …

This week seems to have been a relatively quiet week for Team GDH – still some racing and an awful lot of training and reccying which suggests that there are going to be some awesome race reports over the coming weeks and months. Burbage Trail Race (courtesy of Pete Wallroth and Nick Ham) From Pete…well, …
To start on a high note, tomorrow is the worst day of the year. Official. Bank accounts are quivering with fear. Dry-January, veganuary, and all those other good ideas are beginning to seem a bit rubbish. BUT not so for us Harriers – we should be celebrating our race successes of the weekend and looking …
