It all started around 9 months ago when I posted on Facebook that Race to the King, Ultra marathon was on my bucket list. Sally decided there was no time like the present and within a few weeks we had booked up and Jennie had jumped on board too. I hadn’t met Jennie at this stage, but Sally knew her […]

Brighton 10 mile report by Clarie Bissett The first thing to say about this event is – note to self – read the small print….! I had assumed it was 10k at the time of agreeing to run this with my old school friend. The penny only dropped about a week before but having done my longest distance of 17 […]

Keith Passingham’s Stort 30 (UK Middle Distance Trail Championship) review Having thoroughly enjoyed running the Stort 30 in 2015, I naturally entered the 2016 race as soon as entries were open.

the sights, the sounds, the whoops, the laughs, the hugs, the jumps, the hi5s A bright sunny Sunday in Southend, 2nd October 2016 saw in the 31st Southend 10k. The event has been running for a long time and I wonder how many runners have taken part during that time and if there are any runners who have […]

The Horndon 10K was on the same weekend of Harp, a 24 hour endurance race which many Flyers and other runners participated in with some outstanding distance PBs, all for a great cause. Neil and I decided to enter the Horndon 10K (forgetting about harp) because we had heard there would be a fete afterwards which would be perfect for […]

Ever since I started running four or five years ago, I considered people who ran marathons as a bit wrong in the head. I should know – I’m married to one.
