Crossed the West Coast mainline at Tamworth on the new bridge that replaced the nearly new bridge. Twenty plus years ago it was a level crossing with...

I get these sometimes. I find wearing socks in bed makes a big different - perhaps it helps them recover? Either way it seems to work - give it a go.

Hello! I’m based in Newbury... I’ve thought about the BGR in the past and did legs 3+4 in a day last summer. I’ve done most of the other legs except...

My chilblains are very itchy. They are worse than ever this winter. Too much running in the snow. ❄️ ❄️

Eight degrees C when I started, and with very little wind and overcast. Temperature dropped a bit, and the wind got up a bit too, so the shorts and...

Poked my head outside today./QUOTE] I don't mean to be rude, but do you live in a tent or perhaps a yurt Travs? Whenever I hear the phrase...

I suspect that there will be some races early summer but I think the big problem for the traditional Fell Race is that once the official go ahead is...

I'm quite liking my soil shakers. Very padded and comfy with excellent grip for the mud and slush at this time of year. Too heavy to be a race shoe,...

It's a tough one to call. So many variables. I'll say September 6th.
