Local Landmarks 10k – Southampton

I’ve nearly achieved my goal for January – walk 10000 steps a day – so I’m now planning my next goal. I’ve decided to take part in the Local Landmarks 10k on Sunday 20th February 2022. This is a new challenge from the same team as the London Landmarks Half Marathon (which I completed in 2018).It only cost £15 to...

St Ives Bay 10k and the Dune of Doom

I’ve wanted to do the St Ives Bay 10k for a long time. It takes place pretty much on my mum’s doorstep, with the start being on the beach. I knew I would be in Cornwall when it’s on this year, so I entered. The race is organised by Hayle Runners, so I was also happy to be supporting a...

Christchurch Christmas Pudding Race

Stuart thought it might be fun for us to take part in the Christchurch Christmas Pudding 10k. Friends have run it in previous years and really enjoyed it. We knew that it would sell out, so we entered quite early. My original plan had been for it to be a comeback race where I was aiming to get as close...

Regaining my mojo at MoRun

It’s been a long time since I’ve taken part in a 10k race (or any other running race). I was really excited to take part as I love running, but also because it’s supporting a good cause. Before the race, I met up with my friends Kate and Laura. We agreed to run together. I hadn’t checked what the race...

Preparing for Southampton MoRun

Southampton MoRun is fast approaching, and I’ll be honest that my preparations have not been ideal thus far. I’ve only done 13 runs over 9km so far in 2018. The last time I ran that far was at Thunder Run in July. My most recent parkruns I had plans to continue my parkrun tourism, but a variety of reasons have meant...

AJ Bell London Triathlon – my first ever triathlon relay

I was so excited about taking part in my first ever triathlon relay that I woke up early, which was completely unnecessary. We had a relaxed start to the day, as our event in the 20th Anniversary AJ Bell London Triathlon wasn’t taking place until 13:20. We got up at 7am, ate some breakfast and then headed to Southampton Airport Parkway station....

Looking forward to AJ Bell London Triathlon

I had resigned myself to only doing one triathlon this year (Winchester May Day Tri), but when the opportunity to take part in the 20th London Triathlon, it was a chance that I couldn’t refuse. I’ve been to watch the event before and was impressed by the organisation, so I can’t dispute the organisers’ description of it as ‘the largest...

Thunder Run 2015

Last weekend, Stuart and I took part in Thunder Run 2015, a 24-hour running relay that takes place in Derbyshire. It’s the 4th time that we’ve taken part in this event, so we knew what to expect. Liz, Suzanne and Jenny also ran (as members of two Run Camp teams). Stuart has previously run with some competitive male 5 teams,...

The Agony of De Feet – Brutal 10 Enduro Race Report

On Saturday night/Sunday morning, Stuart and I took part in the Brutal 10 Enduro, which was held at Minley (near Yateley). It was a 12-hour running event starting at 9pm. Stu decided to enter as a pair with his friend, Rob. I entered as a pair with Rob’s wife Kim. Stu and I have done similar events to Brutal 10...

Stubbington 10k race recap

I’ve run Stubbington 3 times before, so I knew what to expect from this race. It’s held on a fairly flat course and being early in the year, the weather can be a bit unpredictable. Two years ago, it snowed during the race (which is unusual for this part of the UK). This year, the weather was fairly cool, but...
