A tradition at the Furnace Inn to host this 5km run around Darley Abbey and a snippet at £2 a go too. The route is flat, flatter than Parkrun and popular with both club runners and fun runners alike. For £2 you just can’t say no. So rather than race it and talk myself into how […]
Darley Abbey Parkrun #113
Back again lined up on a hot Saturday morning in Darley Abbey, two in a row, this is getting rather habitual, or would be if I made three in a row. What is going on? It was the second weekend of my swimming course so again it made sense to have a go at a […]
Darley Abbey Parkrun #112
My first Parkrun in ages, my favourite Parkrun at Darley Abbey because its not so much running round in circles but running around in just 2ish circles and most of that is not running on concrete. The journey to Darly Abbey Parkrun may seem a little odd when I have x5 Parkruns much closer, one […]
Burton 10
Burton on Trent was brewing a range of pbs for a 10 mile race involving a few 100 local runners and me. Starting off at a leisure centre, taking in park paths, housing estates and more park paths, double time. Run run run. I wasn’t racing this because ultimately I am too lazy to race […]
Chatsworth 10km
Chatsworth 10km is a scenic race around the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire in the middle of the Peak District. The hillsides are deliciously hilly, muddy and full of potential to run up and down, so why not run the Chatsworth 10km on a rainy bank holiday weekend? It seemed like a […]
Hoka Highland Fling
Nearly a year ago 12 kids from Sheffield Running Club took forth to run the West Highland Way over 5 days, I was in paradise. Fast forward a year and one ultra crazy girl took forth to run the first half of the West Highland Way – a mere 53 miles. For I bring forth to […]
Conkers Parkrun #206
If you haven’t heard of Parkrun then you must be living in the ice ages. With over a million zillion free ‘timed 5km runs’ around the world Parkrun has become a bit of a phenomenon amongst Mr Joe Blogs and Mrs Brown. It’s a Saturday morning, and just like the rest of society I am […]
Hardmoors 30
It’s New Years Day 2015, how many people are in bed supporting hangovers, doing the 5 mile Hangover race or their local Parkrun? How many people are in a little village hall at Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire kitted up with long running tights, waterproofs, head-torch, gloves, hat, 500ml of water, rucksack full of Kendal […]
