It has done nothing but rain for months and I am sick of it. I can't even remember the last time I went out for a run and came back with dry feet. Even last week's 100% tarmac parkrun venue, Peckham Rye, included an unexpected water feature. The soft sarf-landaners of Peckham weren't as hardy … Continue reading Mud Glorious Mud
Somehow I managed to get myself talked into doing a Category A Fell race in Epping Forest. Category A Fell Races are as dangerous as Category A prisoners and Category A drugs. They must have at least 50m of climb per km (this one had more) and no more than 20% of the course on … Continue reading Fell Race
Ally Pally parkrun has been staring me in the face for some time. If I look to my left right now, I can see it from the end of my garden. (Actually I am a bit short so I would have to stand on my chair to do so. But some of my friends can.) … Continue reading Ally Pally parkrun
I have not a lot to say about this week's race as it was pretty much exactly the same as the last month's. It was significantly hotter, but also significantly less mudder so I am hoping those two factors cancelled each other out and my time (40:11, exactly a minute faster than last month) represents … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Sun Wimbledon Common
I have been wanting to visit this Hadleigh parkrun ever since I went on a history walk up to the castle last summer. It looked like a mountainous beast of a parkrun, with a hill to put Finsbury Park to shame (the course boasts double the elevation overall, and an 18% gradient in several places). … Continue reading Hadleigh parkrun
The latest edition of RunThrough's evening run series took me to sunny Wimbledon, home of tennis and Wombles. I will admit that if I hadn't got the season pass, I would probably have given this one a big miss as it is a trail run and I might have mentioned once or twice that I … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Sun Wimbledon
Today was my 20th parkrun and my 13th different event. Beckenham Place Park had ade it to my to-do list despite being flat, grassy and devoid of hills because it happens to be a ten minute walk from the house where I grew up and where my mother still lives. When I was a teenager, … Continue reading Beckenham Place parkrun
Yesterday was my penultimate Long Run before the marathon (which is now just TWENTY FIVE days away). I couldn't decide whether to run along the Thames Estuary (from Shoeburyness to Leigh on Sea and back again) or the Thames Path (from Putney to Hampton Court) so I threw the question to a Facebook poll. The … Continue reading Thames Path Long Run
This is a post I wrote exactly a year ago which popped up in my memories today. I thought you might appreciate it. I am from London. I do runs that start in places like Trafalgar Square and take you across smooth, wide roads with not so much as a pothole in your way. If … Continue reading The Great Yorkshire Pieathlon 2016
