Trunce #7 2024
•
After saying to myself I would get to each and every Trunce this year, I finally turned up for the 7th one… Progress isn’t linear, but you actually have to do something to progress and with the 7 Valleys looming I have been trying to hold myself accountable and be…

Dronfield Relays 2024
•
I will keep this one brief. The Dronfield relays runs the Dronfield circular walk in three legs of paired runners for teams of six. It is a handicapped race, with faster teams starting later with a time penalty. Connor and I had the final leg. We arrived far too early…

Round Sheffield Run 2024

I had never heard of an enduro format until this year when I was talking to a friend about a mountain bike race he was about to do. The idea of a race but you’re only racing certain sections and then get a bit of a break in between sounded…

Steel City 60 2024
•
Before The Steel City 60 wasn’t supposed to be my first 60-mile race. I was close to pulling the trigger on the Beacons Way 100k in 2023 but decided that I hadn’t really got my fitness up to snuff to put in a good effort. Then I saw the marketing…

Manchester Marathon 2024
•
The morning started early. A 5 o’clock alarm and double and triple checking that I had everything I needed for the day. There wasn’t really much extra to remember besides the clothes I would be wearing and a few gels to see me through the early aid stations before the…

Sheffield 10k 2023
•
I have done a lot of runs by myself or raced others but still on my own. The Sheffield 10k was different. I would be running with Fi to get her a 10km PB. Both being at the University of Sheffield at the time, me as an employee and Fi…

A Mile an Hour
•
Beau Miles. What a beauty. I am a long-time watcher of Mr Miles and a thorough enjoyer of his content. His easy nature and seemingly endless ideas for fun ways to enjoy the outdoors are of great inspiration to me. One video always stuck with me. The Mile an Hour.…
