A steady recovery run this evening in my new Brooks Adrenalin tarmac shoes. A bit firmer ride than the New Balance but still very comfortable. ...

Across those years, the average rate for men and women completions is almost identical. 47.6% for men, 46.8% for women. This year has been a...

You are asking the wrong bloke! (or at least have got my name wrong :-) ) Prior to me taking over the membership role there's no actual numbers of...

9.29 miles, 3,021 feet, 2 hours 53 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 3 sides, including along the ridge to the true top, and up and down the race route...

I think the fact that yesterday was just supposed to be a tune-up race for Bradwell next weekend, and i wasn't expecting much in the way of a...

Mmmh. I think that neatly summarises the human condition.

Sorry to hear about the skin loss on your heels Travs. It is awful when your heels start to let you know they are in trouble, and yet there is that...

Bill what's the completion success percentage for women on the BG? I noted in 2020 (having done mine) that 6 women attempted and had 100% completion...

Thanks Llani.... I've had a look at the remaining N.Wales races, and its not feasible to try an assault on the champs... the next one i'm on...

Good to see you again Travs. When I finished I couldn't see you with the other finishers and then spotted you sat with your feet in the stream! I...

I wore my usual Inov8 socks. The issue was my choice of footwear... Most people went for less harsh shoes (the winner wore road shoes!) But I...

Thank you, Travs. Sorry you won't be at Bradwell -- although if the temperatures get much higher than currently forecast by the Met Office...

High cup gill is a right mire in winter and it's so bloody slow, as are the fields on the way back. If any of the Keswick lot come over there could...

7.8m/2250' from kettlewell today, zone 2/3 pace which meant walking some hills that i'd normally dig in and run all the way. A short effort of about...

That's never happened to me, what socks do you wear? Get some sudacrem on there and once it's scabbed over a layer of k-tape will get you back on...

They both talk about the mind making a case for laying off and dropping in behind the other guy. This is why i like speed endurance training so much,...

Was nervously watching the temerature gauge rise on the journey over today, to a beautiful and very secluded part of Shropshire.... in fact i think...

Congratulations on your anniversary Anthony.... Final score for the week 62.5 miles. Unfortunately i've lost most of the skin on my heel after...

Yesterday's bike ride took an odd turn for me and I ended up taking the Rea Valley cycle route (NCR5) back into Brum before heading home. I noticed...

Well the importance of resting should not be underestimated!

13.2 miles, 3,418 feet, 4 hours 7 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Miller Bridge - Rydal - Fairfield Horseshoe c/w, going over the 3 tops on the way up,...

Yes 25% is still OK. The percentage varies with age bands, not least for historical reasons, so it is 44% for 0-20 years but only 1% for 80+. ...

Historically women have comprised about 10-12% of both attempts and successes on the Bob Graham Round. Someone, somewhere (might have been Graham)...

I've just returned from a week's holiday (a cruise to the Norwegian fjords with my wife, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary), during which I...

Well nothing cryptic there Mr B.:)

You're not making any sense, must be a south yorkshire joke. The mag has rather a lot of long distance stuff in it again, i'm still interested in...

Do you mean west/south? surely? I'm not following you at Bradwell. There seem to be more sliproad junctions on the A630 and it may well be quicker as...

Get an MRI if you can, and get a printout of the slice of your whole spine down the middle so people can see the curvature and bone positions. A...

Parkrun this morning, 20.47. I just wanted to start well and not get screwed over on the last lap from going too fast, i ran a pretty comfortable...

There are 2 short rocky sections, 1 at the top, and 1 about half way down, but almost all the rest is lovely runnable grass - nice up or down. Park...
