Activity Stream

For 15+ years it's been the same. The revenue from clubs has increased several fold, but as a revenue stream, it is still a small part of the...

7.51 miles, 2,148 feet, 2 hours 19 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 2 sides, including along the ridge to the true top, and descending next to the steps...

I am also fairly doubtful for Bradwell now, but I will wait until I see the weather forecast on Friday before making a decision. But this sort of...

Up Beacon Hill and back via Windmill Hill; a little over 61 minutes, so quite fast by recent standards. Going up a gravel track at a moderate incline...

Sadly this is also true of British Cycling.

11.8 miles, 1,240 feet, 2 hours 26 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Wray Castle - south along the lake - Coffin Trail - Wray Castle - Rothay Bridge. Sunshine...

I certainly don't want to pour scorn on the likes of UKA and EA, but from what i see, they seem solely concerned with trying to flog tickets for...

According to Steve Cram and Paula Radcliffe, whilst commentating on the Marathon over a week ago, Team England did not fill their quota in many...

For the first time I didn't watch much of the Games. Maybe it's me, but I found the timings and coverage a bit odd. I did catch a few of the track...

Sorry to hear that Llani. I'm still clinging to hope that i might make it. After a decent run in a similarly short race last weekend, it would be...

I will not be on the start line at Bradwell on Saturday now. Two reasons, the first being memories of Alderman's Ascent last year when it was far...

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...
