Three Peaks – Sat 29 Apr
From Peter Roll… Photo credit Abbie Rothery You may be wondering why there’s been a radio silence from those who ran the 3 Peaks last weekend. It’s because we found the experience so brutal we all wanted to forget it, the idea of re-living it through writing a race report filled us with dread. Now […]
The 59th Fellsman – Sat 29 Apr
From Andrew Merrick… I considered race retirement after UTMB last year, but had finally concluded I should complete the big 6 set in Tokyo, and therefore, if I was in some kind of running shape, I should treat myself to a few more ultras this year. I had never done the Fellsman before and given […]
Hartlepool Marina 5 Mile – Sun 30 Apr
From Helen Waddington… The backdrop for this race is Hartlepool’s beautiful quayside which houses the Trincomalee, Britain’s oldest warship still afloat, built in India after the Napoleonic wars. It’s a beautiful 3 mast tall ship which serves as a great visual goal when you make the halfway turn on this out and back course along the […]
Melmerby 10k – Sun 30 Apr
From Sally Malir… On Sunday morning I headed over to Melmerby in North Yorkshire. Having been injured and not racing at all this year it was time to get going again! I noticed this race, Melmerby 10k, and was attracted by the small field and also the late start time. Typical… 11.30 race start time, […]

London Marathon – Sun 23 Apr
From Rumana Chowdhury… I’ve been a right moaning Minnie through my training for the London Marathon – I’m too slow, still too injured, too unfit, it’s too cold, too snowy, blah blah blah. I seemed to have lost all my confidence after sustaining an injury in my last marathon training a few months earlier. My […]
