A gorgeous setting for this undulating run around the grounds of Kedleston Hall near Derby. A very narrow start meant it was difficult to get a good pace at the start. A very tough hill around the 3km mark on grass, though I managed to overtake a few people going up the hill. At the […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
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 […]
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
A cold wet damp and drizzly April morning greeted us all for this 10km race in Sheffields’ Graves Park. Running as part of a team for Plusnet where I used to work and raising money for Sheffield Children’s Hospital meant it was all worth it. The route was two and a half laps around this […]
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 […]
