This was the third and final fixture in the NEYDL for 2021 and all was to play for with Blaydon and the combined TBH/Birtley team being a mere point apart, so either one of us could have come out victorious. Despite very hot conditions, various club records were claimed, and PBs were set on the …

A great first track fixture of the year, which was held under Covid restrictions, so athletes were only able to turn up, run, then leave, but that didn’t stop each athlete claiming or beating a club record. Hope Moir, Freddie Palmer and Jake Moir all ran in the 800m races before lunchtime, with some considerable …

The early morning drizzle that accompanied us all the way to Peterlee, turned to persistent rain by the time we arrived, and pretty much stayed with us for the day. The procedures in place allowed for a very well run and Covid-safe environment for the athletes, with every race starting on the hour so that …

You might not be able to socialise in the North East at the moment but you can get out in the mud and that’s what our juniors were desperate to do after 4 weeks of lockdown. Well done to all of those who got out, fortunately the weather stayed dry and fun was had by …

Halloween, 31st October, Trick or Treat? Well, if you decide to take part in a TBH XC event organised by Dave Moir then there’s certainly no treats! Dave is affectionately know as Mad Dog, and Halloween seems an appropriate occasion to release the junior athletes in to the hands of a mud loving lupine. I …

If Usain Bolt had ventured out in Newcastle this week he would have been relieved that he’s retired and not having to face the future talents of TBH juniors. We saw our younger athletes blitzing their 100m sprints with some impressive times. In a tight contest we saw the Shutdown Striders take a narrow victory …

They say that orienteering is the thinking person’s running. Well, we certainly saw plenty of thinking and puzzling as the juniors took on the challenge of the TBH Treasure Hunt – specially prepared by David Daniels and Dave Moir (DDDM). I think everyone would agree it was a fantastic challenge that required plenty of athleticism …

The challenge of running dressed as a key-worker was the lesser problem this week with the weather causing havoc for planning opting run times.

This week saw a new level of pressure for the Team Captains who had to organise which of their runners were suited to shorter, faster legs and which suited longer endurance runs. Numbers were crunched, slide rules were slid (ask your grandparents kids) and tactics were developed. The Striders employed a complex 9 distance strategy …
