Never to be outdone, the ever-competitive Keith Rooney adds a little muddiness to Lindsay Walsh’s own superb retelling of the Northern’s tale. Things got a bit dirty during the race in more ways than one. I’ve alluded to it, but not been specific in any detail. It shouldn’t be too controversial. “Mud glorious mud”…..Eh? I …

Our Mercurial Member of the Year, Keith Rooney, dives straight into the muddy stuff at this year’s North Eastern X-Country Championships and his ‘feud’ with Group 3 leader Mal Gibson.

The Highland Bard Kenny Mac runs the Woodcock and pens the Craic: A damp Autumnal afternoon set the scene, For the Norman Woodcock, calm and serene. Newcastle race course, the Northumbrian plate; Runners in club vests, concerned about heart rate. A PB? Winning? Completion the primary care. As athletes gathered, a unified somnambulist stare.

The Old Highlander Kenny Mac reports from this year’s British and Irish Masters X-C 2013 has not been the kindest to me in running terms. Everything was going well until the Sunderland 5k when Summer flu struck and then the most bizarre set of injuries kicked in, including a poisoned toe and the world acclaimed …

Who else but Keith Rooney would be reporting from the first official X-C of the season. Mud claws an’ all. I felt a reassuringly satisfying squelch as the mud claw’s studs bite deep, a feeling of satisfaction enhanced further by the helpless squeal ahead as a rival skewed sideways and went down. “Something wrong with …

A guest report this week, from Karen Rooney at our sister club Tyne Bridge Warriors, on the Great Cumbrian half marathon. Go Karen. “A difficult nut to crack,” I said, gesturing around the massive, crimson-coloured bastion that is Carlisle castle. I was standing with Dave Young in the Castle’s central square. We were waiting for …
