The beginning of September, the air is crisp, cool and perfect for running. This is why so many runs take place in September. With my mate by my side I drop down a wave so we can run together as I was put in orange. Really well organised for the 8000 runners packed into Sheffield […]
Dewsbury 10km
It was minus three degrees when we reached Dewsbury, this was supposed to be a potential PB route, I was looking forward to this race despite the cold and ice. It was that cold however that I stupidly left my new long sleeved top on. The first time I have run in a long sleeved […]
Percy Pud
Minus 7 degrees on this very cold December morning, we set off to my “home” ground where I grew up to run around the picturesque “Dam Flask” reservour, the route I used to bike round many a times as a child. I was looking forward to this despite the coldness. This is the most scenic […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
This was the second “Great Yorkshire Run” in Sheffield. A change of course this year to a much flatter route, going out towards the Sheffield Wednesday ground and back again. In true Sheffield style a warning about the tram lines were given as the beginning of the race forced runners to dodge over them, we […]
Theo’s 10km

Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
This was the first ever “Bupa Great Yorkshire Run” in Sheffield City Centre. A silent start as we all gave our respects to Jane Tomlinson at the start with a 2 minute silence to remember the braveness of this incredible woman. The race was in waves which was a new concept to me, I was […]
Nike 10km Hyde Park
My first 10k ever took place in a sea of green and orange London runners as the “north v’s south” competition took place. This was London terms of north and south – north of the river and south of the river depending on your postcode, so for once I was a southerner. Counts were recorded […]
