Runner and his chimp: November 2014
http://fellrunner1975.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Runner and his chimp. Blabberings from a Northumbrian runner. Tuesday, 11 November 2014. Derwentwater 10 and 2014 review. So, my racing year has come to a premature end with the ongoing hernia issues I’ve had since July. I’m hoping I will be sorted out before Christmas. Up until then I will be ticking over and enjoying some steady running. Hoping to support on another attempt next summer. Coach Waugh’s training plans are paying dividends for all in the group which is terrific to see. I’ve bagged th...

Runner and his chimp. Blabberings from a Northumbrian runner. Tuesday, 24 March 2015. Brough Law and Rowling End. Ready for the off - Brough Law. A while ago I put my name forward to take over the reigns for the Brough law fell race. This offer was taken up so in 2016 I will be race organiser! I'm trying to think of an incentive too, a small prize perhaps. Must advertise early! Not a bad view - Rowling End. Dale Head - Waltz route. Stretching, strengthening, cycling, swimming should help too. The OMM 201...

http://fellrunner1975.blogspot.com/2015/02/laid-bare.html
Runner and his chimp. Blabberings from a Northumbrian runner. Wednesday, 18 February 2015. I arrived on the ward at 7:30am as requested. I was to be number three on the list. Not too bad, I thought. Should be done by lunchtime. I was called at 12:15pm! The road to recovery began. Oh, I did manage to recce the Brough Law fell race route, not that I'll be doing it this year. Brough Law - top race. 18 February 2015 at 23:19. Good luck with your recovery. 23 February 2015 at 06:29. 23 February 2015 at 12:15.

Runner and his chimp. Blabberings from a Northumbrian runner. Wednesday, 30 April 2014. 60th Yorkshire 3 peaks fell race; 23.2m, 5276ft. The past couple of months have been rather good running-wise. I have achieved two new PB’s in 5k and 10k and also been part of a winning vet’s team at the Elswick road relays on Good Friday. Oh, and the “small” matter of the Coledale Horseshoe fell race which cannot be underestimated in terms of effort! Yorkshire 3 peaks race took place on Saturday, 26. Place Next time ...

Runner and his chimp. Blabberings from a Northumbrian runner. Sunday, 25 May 2014. CAU Inter Counties fell Championships, Witton Park 18th May 2014. When I was asked to be part of the team to represent the NECAA at the Inter Counties fell championships, I went through my usual lack of self belief panic phase. "Am I good enough? Will I be out of my depth? There are far better runners in the North East who could do a better job! Start of the ladies race. There were to be three laps. I hate laps. This gave ...

No racing since December with one thing and another, mainly the pesky ongoing injury problems. However, I've had a good stint of quality training sessions and long runs so I threw my hat into the ring to do a double weekend of races. Cheviot Horseshoe race, 12th April 2015.

Runner and his chimp. Blabberings from a Northumbrian runner. Wednesday, 30 July 2014. Chevy Chase fell race and the Lakeland 50. The Chevy Chase seems like a distant memory, even though it was only 4 weeks ago. People who know me are aware that this is my favourite race and felt I was in good shape going into it - although there were nagging thoughts that I hadn’t done the mileage. With Emma B (Women's winner) and Steph Scott (3rd) Top folk! The plan was simple. Do what I did last year. I was flagging a...

The literal and metaphorical ups and downs of an ultra-running journey. Welcome to my blog! Camino de Santiago May 2015. Monday, January 05, 2015. Why Am I Doing The Spine…….again? I will stand on the start line of The Spine for the 4. 8221; seems to be a fairly common question. I decided to take part in this year’s race in November having been pondering it for a while. Well, it certainly isn’t to keep Jenny happy! So looks like I’m doing it for myself! In the Lakeland 100, 2. In the Viking Way Ultra and...
