Trunce #9 2023
•
Here we are, the last of the series. I can’t say I’ve been waiting long for it as I’ve only done the last three of the year. But this one is different, it’s fancy dress (optional). Of course, I had to partake. The question was, what was I going to…

Trunce #8 2023
•
After the amount of fun I ended up having at the Trunce it was a no-brainer to return and have another shot. I had set a goal of averaging 5:00/km last time, which is a fair improvement over the 5:05/km I first ran, a full 31 seconds faster. Though I…

Trunce #7 2023
•
I think I have run one ‘fell’ style race. It was up Win Hill god knows how long ago, and I think I did alright (this was before my Strava days), and I distinctly remember nearly obliterating a drystone wall on my descent. I’m not too sure why I haven’t…

Rothay Parkrun #102
•
Look who’s back in Ambleside. Twice in a month, what a treat. My initial plan was to get a 15 – 20km run in with around 500m elevation to keep on track with my training plan, but the allure of standing in a park in the sopping wet and running…

Rothay Parkrun #101
•
Rothay Parkrun is slowly becoming my home event. I found myself back in Ambleside for a stag do but of course I had to get a quick run in. So, slightly hungover and with only a cup of tea in my belly I set out with Mark. The heavens were…

Rothay Parkrun #93
•
I’m back in Ambleside for the fifth time this year, and the second time doing the Rothay Parkrun. The course is not a favourite of mine. It includes numerous 90o+ turns, narrow gates, thin sections of path, and an alley where runners pass both ways making jams a weekly occurrence.…

Rasselbock Winter Run 2024
•
Ah shit, here we go again. The 6-hour format is becoming something of a regularity for me now. Whether it is intentional or not remains to be seen. After the free entry to Hell on the Humber 2023 from my completely unexpected victory in 2022, and the Ambleside 50k being…

Hell on the Humber 2023
•
We’re back baby! One year in the making, and with half the time injured as the previous year it’s a miracle I’m not pro yet! Hell on the Humber holds a special place in my heart given its an event I can share with my dad. Having run the 6-…

Ambleside 50k
•
I signed up for the Ambleside 50k on January 1st, 2023, after seeing a poster advertising it on the corner where Borrans Road meets the A593. I wasn’t having the greatest of times, being mid mental health crisis and about to quit my job (which ultimately was the best decision…

High Peak Way
•
I first came across the High Peak Way on the Long-Distance Walkers Association website, but when it came to checking the route it for this attempt, the web page was nowhere to be seen. A quick search brought me to ramblingman.org.uk and confirmed that I wasn’t making it up and…
