Test
It’s been 18 months since I last made an appearance at parkrun. Yesterday Lydia and I (oh don’t forget Duke) made it to Castle Howard parkrun. Here’s what I thought to one of the newest Park Run events out there. What with the girls’ dance classes on Saturday mornings and the fact Helen has worked […]
It occured to me that as a runner I may do some things that non-runners find, err, weird. So, I’ve compiled a list of my own runnerisms as well as sourcing the best of those I have found on the Internet. 1) Running up and down the street to make up the miles You know […]
Last night I went out for a run, as I do on a Monday evening after work as I now have a whole two and a half hours to myself. The day before I had run the Fadmoor 10K multi-terrain race in the rain, but I still wanted to do about 5 miles. So, I […]
Hot on the heels of my outing at the Turnpike Trot 10K last weekend I was back out in a race again. Races are like buses, you wait months for one then two come along in quick succession. Anyway, today I was at the Fadmoor 10K, a multi-terrain race on the very edge of the […]
Whether you are a keen follower of athletics or not, the chances are that this weekend you will hear in the media about Eliud Kipchoge and his attempt to run 26.2 miles in under 2 hours. Usually, 26.2 miles is referred to as a marathon and Kipchoge himself is the marathon world record holder. However, […]
Back in April of this year, I was going really good at running. I was knocking out over 100 miles per month I was feeling pretty damn good. I had done the Thirsk 10 and the Wakefield 10K and I was looking to book one race per month. With that in mind, I booked the […]
Cast your mind back to my last Running Dad Diary. What! You you can’t remember the last one? Actually, I can’t blame you as neither can I. The fact is that I hadn’t run properly since Sunday 5th May – the week that I ran the Kirkbymoorside 10K route every day leading up to race […]
There’s been a distinct lack of running related content on the blog for the past couple of months. There’s a good reason for this. I haven’t been running! Call yourself a runner? You don’t run any more! Can I still call myself a runner if I am not running? Well yes, I can. I am […]
Setting myself the challenge of running 100 miles each month seemed to me like a reasonable one. But, in April I went way beyond that and I wasn’t really trying… The Kirkbymoorside 10K I’ve not written much on here for a couple of weeks now. Largely this has been due to the fact I am […]
The first three weeks of April have proven to be some of the best running ever for me. I’ve felt motivated and wanted to put in the miles consistently. It’s no surprise then that I have clocked up my 100-mile goal in the first 3 weeks of the month. As well as my usual routes […]
