This is a running blog... and FINALLY I have a running event to write about! Restrictions on outdoor sport were lifted six days ago and I've certainly made the most of it with two trips to Victoria Dock for swimming, one to Charlton Lido, and two to Mile End track (one to run and one … Continue reading St Albans Easter 10k
With the corona on the up again, I'm not sure how many of my running events will go ahead any more. I'm constantly expecting that email to drop telling me yet another has been cancelled. I'm over virtual medals and not-parkruns and ready to race, so I was extremely happy when the extravaganza at my … Continue reading RunThrough Olympic Park 10k
This weekend was my second time taking part in an Adidas City Run. I did the Shoreditch 10k back in 2017 and it was ok, but not amazing, so I have not gone out of my way to do another. Fulham, however, fitted well with my half marathon training plan and is a fairly novel … Continue reading Adidas City Runs Fulham 10k
I know I said that after the Greenwich Park palaver I said I wasn't going to go to any TRO events ever again, but I really wanted to do a 10k race today and this was the only sensible/local option. The map looked a lot simpler than Greenwich and I had a discount code. I … Continue reading The Race Organiser Hyde Park 10k
Before I get started writing about the race, I want to answer the Big Question, which is: should a vegan be entering a race sponsored by Cancer Research, who fund animal testing? I've thought long and hard about this, and as you can see, I did enter. I see it the same as taking part … Continue reading London Winter Run 10k
Yesterday, Facebook Memories reminded me that it was the nine year anniversary of my first ten kilometre race. I wasn't A Runner back then, of course. I led a much less healthy lifestyle which mainly revolved around watching repeats of Airline with my idiot ex-boyfriend whilst getting legless on supermarket real ale, then ordering Domino's. … Continue reading My First 10k Race
Yesterday, I headed to Potters Fields near London Bridge for an emotional reunion with my RunThrough buddies, whom I have not seen for a whole six days. Now the Chase The Sun events are over, we are all feeling a bit bereft, so it was nice to have an alternative evening run to attend. I … Continue reading Run the River
Last year I took part in the Kew Gardens 10k, which is part of the Richmond Running Festival and really enjoyed it, so in 2018 it was back for round two. There had been a couple of improvements from last year, in that the route stayed within the gardens the whole way instead of taking an … Continue reading Kew Gardens 10k
On Tuesday it was time for another track session with the ViewTube lot. We had allegedly been promised an easy session to help ease us into the New Year but this did not transpire. There were "trains", intervals, handicap sprint 400 metre thingies and finally a relay race in which I let my team down … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Moon Olympic Park
Yesterday it was off to the Olympic Park for another RunThrough race. Throughout the summer, RunThrough organised a series of "Chase The Sun" races, taking place in a variety of parks throughout London on Wednesday nights, starting at 7pm. As a shiftworker I am always extraordinarily grateful for any company that puts things on on … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Moon Olympic Park 10k
RunThrough are a smallish, friendly company that organise running events in parks, mainly in London. They also have a lively Facebook group, a newsletter and a free interval session on Mondays in Clapham (which I keep meaning to go to, but haven't yet). The events have a similar vibe to parkruns, in that they're full … Continue reading RunThrough Battersea Park
