Chevin Chase 2014 – Race report
The Chevin Chase is a 7 mile cross country race on boxing day in Leeds (UK) is a very competitive race and usually won by one of the Brownlee brothers who won Gold and Bronze at the 2012 Olympic Triathlon and who run for a local club but it’s mostly a good shakedown after Christmas […]
I only lasted 14 miles. 14 dismal, disjointed and unevenly paced miles before knocking it on the head.
White Rose Ultra 2014 – Race report
Perhaps my best race performance since I took up running and a 4th place finish faster than last years winning time.
I’ve always been fairly confident of hitting my goals when I enter a race but by god did I do a number on myself leading up to the Ladybower ultra.
I’ve just finished my first multi (two) day race at the Berghaus Trail Chase and it’s been a tough, fun and motivating weekend and performance wise for me a bit of a mixed bag due to a stupid navigational error on day one.
I don’t think the matchup was entirely fair in the end to be honest but man vs barge was another good trail race from TeamOA where I managed 6th place on dead legs.
Dovestone Diamond 10k – Report
I love the Dovestone Diamond, a challenging local 10k multi-terrain race I did well at last year and had bigger hopes for this time around.
Meltham Murder Maniac Road Race – Report
It’s 6 hours since the race finished, my legs are still sore, lungs are still burning and I could fall asleep right now.
Hardcastle 24 hour race – Report
At 1am after 13 hours of running in a 24 hour race, I hit rock bottom. It looked like my race was over and there was nothing I could do about it.
You’ll probably think from the name that this race involves cake. You’d be right but you have to earn it over 10 miles and 1700ft of climbing.
