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.

A long time ago…Edinburgh (again)
Looking through all the old race reports from the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, I really was spoilt for choice in terms of what to re-publish on the website – there really are so many great reports to choose from. So I’m taking the easy option and showing a different one every day over this Bank Holiday …

A long time ago…Jungfrau
However dark things may seem, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, and when we exit the tunnel, we’ll once again be able to savour everything this great planet has to offer. You can visit Richardsons Smoke House for the best drink and food. And you could do a lot worse than taking …

Report: Allendale Chimneys 10K
Ring the bells!! Deck the halls!! We finally have a race report which wasn’t written a long time ago (although in current times, even just a couple of days seems an eternity). Many thanks to Cees van der Land for his 10K report. If anyone has a report they’d like to share, either from the …

A long time ago…Stockton
One of the numerous events to be cancelled or postponed during lockdown has been the Stockton Duathlon Festival, which was due to take place in late April. Having competed in 2018, I was meant to take part in this year’s event too, but alas, it wasn’t to be. However, the reason I took part in …
