Lancaster Half Marathon: Race Report

Phil Brown has posted this excellent report from the Lancaster Half on Sunday. Three months ago, my mate Mark had asked me if I fancied doing the Lancaster Half Marathon with him in November. Since our last race (my first) back in March, we needed another challenge to keep us motivated, so we signed up and started training again.

Snowdonia Marathon: Race Report

A few months ago, me and a couple of friends decided that running the Snowdonia Marathon was a good idea. I’d ran the race once before and swore at the finish line never to run it again.

Newcastle Town Moor Marathon 2011: Race Report

Mr Moir sends in this report ‘fresh’ from the field of the Newcastle Town Moor Marathon. The idea of a 5 lap marathon puts many people off this marathon, but not 4 hardy TBH-ers. People often consider it to be an easy but boring course, but I’ve always found it to be a bit trickier than just that.
