To comply with guidance from both the UK Government and England Athletics we regrettably have to suspend group training sessions until further notice. We know that many people would like to continue with their training and would encourage individuals to do this responsibly – but would specifically ask that training sessions aren’t organised from …

Ordinarily, today [Saturday, 12th December] would have seen Tyne Bridge Harriers compete in the North Eastern Cross Country Championships, but as we all know, the current pandemic has put pay to all competitions. So instead, members were invited to go on their own ‘cross-country’ run and submit photographs for the club website. Thanks to everyone …

With evenings now becoming darker from around 4:00pm, members and new runners to the club are requested to wear suitable clothing during training sessions. The essential item of clothing is the running top, as this is the largest bit of kit and can be seen the most effectively. Whether it’s a t-shirt, jacket or …

Chapelfell Top Fell Race Saturday, 10th October 2020 Report by Claire Norman This had been the only race of any creed in my diary since late February and as the date grew closer, I wondered if it might fall victim to the local lockdowns that are ramping up in the North East. No such …

Yorkshire Three Peaks Sunday, 30th August 2020 Report by Simon Pryde Lots of us are missing racing. I read with interest Matt’s re-evaluation of running (A time to reflect), and not so much why it’s important, but HOW it is. And whilst I agree we can all become a little too obsessed with …

Derwent Reservoir: Social Distance Trail Runs Sunday, 6th September 2020 Report by Claire Wynarczyk If you had told me at the start of the year that I wouldn’t be able to race between February and September, I would have laughed and said ‘No way!

Although virtual runs and group training sessions have been a godsend to members during the past few months, there’s nothing quite like a little competition to get the juices flowing. So with the safety of runners and volunteers paramount in it’s thoughts, the club organised a 5K Time Trial around Newcastle Town Moor and were …

For obvious reasons, people have had a lot of time recently to think about and re-assess the important things in their life. Personally, this comes down to deciding whether to have Custard Creams or Bourbon biscuits with my cup of tea, but club member Matt Walker has been using his time more wisely and contemplating …

For the latest virtual challenge, TBH members took part in a 5K Handicap run. But rather than handicap times being applied to individual athletes, they were applied to the training groups instead. So rather than running for personal glory, members were running for the honour of their regular training group. And the victorious group were…(and …

For many of us, the coronavirus lockdown has meant we’ve had a lot of spare time on our hands. And while some have used it to sunbathe, binge watch TV box-sets and treat it as a mini-holiday (okay, just me – DD), other members have been using the time in more productive ways. Reflecting her …

This week, besides the regular training sessions, members have also been given a range of challenges to complete. Some are running based, some are strength orientated and the rest are purely for fun (in other words, to make the members look foolish). A collection of photographs taking during the challenges can be viewed below.
