Simon Pryde reports from this year’s Ridgeway muti-stage Ultra race. He was in tears when he ran past me. But he still had twelve miles to go. Twelve energy-sapping, slippery, muddy, hilly miles. It was Day 3 of the Druid Challenge, an undulating 84 mile route from Ivinghoe Beacon near Tring in Hertfordshire to Wroughton, …

Third time lucky then. When Dave Young, Sophie Marr and myself accidentally trotted over the start line at the end of our warm-up around the Town Moor before Sunday’s Memorial 10k, we thought we’d just blown our chances of a collectively run sub-41m effort. Luckily it happens all the time, we were told, and it’s …

Despite blustery conditions along Newcastle quayside, there was still a fantastic turnout of 75 members for the 2nd race of the Winter Grand Prix Series. Whereas the 1st event was a straight forward race, this one incorporated a yacht handicapping system, with runners setting off at pre-determined time intervals depending upon their performance in the 1st race. Finishing first around the accurately …

Having ran several full and half-marathons in the past few months, I thought I’d take it easy this weekend by only running a 10 Mile race here’s my account… Parking outside Keswick School, race HQ for the day, you couldn’t help but be inspired by the beautiful scenery that surrounded you.

There were several reasons why Saturday’s Newcastle parkrun was notable for Tyne Bridge Harriers. Firstly, David Beech proved a good runner can run a quick time on any course, making light work of the muddy sections of the route and finishing first in the event with a new PB of 16:38. …

In the lead up to Saturday’s Newcastle parkrun, the town moor was hit by several sleet showers and the organisors were left with the difficult decision of whether to go ahead with the event. Thankfully they agreed it could, on the proviso that the runners used their common sense (runners and common sense?), and even though the course was …
