Swan Challenge 6 Hours 2022

Disclosure: Ad / PR Products – The apparel I am wearing is from Brooks Running as part of the Run Happy Team 💙 I set off at a time not unreasonable for a work day, and before I knew it I was at Coombe Abbey Park. What a place! It looked gorgeous from the drive…

Salcey 50 2022

Up at 0530… which was actually 0430 because…clocks. After arriving and registering, I bumped in to my friend Mark and met some new people as well! It was so lovely to meet and chat to some people at the start and talk about how we were feeling for the day. I always find lovely new…

Birch Challenge 6 Hours 2022

I signed up to this event with the aim of doing 6 laps as my long run for the week, as a training run for another race. I knew nothing much about it, apart from it was quite far away… until at another event I was told it was hilly. So I came slightly prepared!…

The best of 2021’s running adventures

I can’t believe I’m rounding up my 4th year of running! Last year I wrote… This year was supposed to be the year of ultras, but it didn’t turn out that way (for reasons we all know about of course), with two real life races and a broken ankle. This year was also supposed to…

Bigfoot Challenge 6 Hours 2021

I had COVID over Halloween, and since then running has been difficult. After my really big effort at the Rainbow Challenge I knew this would be a really different race. My goal before having COVID was to do 5km more than last time, but I knew this wasn’t possible. So I settled on doing my…

Rainbow Challenge 6 Hours 2021

WHAT.A.DAY. This challenge by Big Bear Events gave away the majority of places for keyworkers as a thank you – a wonderful idea, and I was pleased I managed to get in a general entry space. It was a spur of the moment booking for me… no real plan. Having done Silverstone just a few…

Run Silverstone 2021

The last time this race was held in person, I did a 5km in 2019. I vowed to come back and do the 10km which is what I did. Last time I was so impressed with the start pens covering a whole range of paces, and that hasn’t changed. After arriving it was just as…

The “Other” Run 6 Hours 2021

Another trail Run and 6hr adventure, my favourite type of race. After it raining so much the day before, my mojo was at an all time low and I went along thinking I wasn’t going to achieve my goal, I didn’t like running blah blah blah. After arriving I met up with my friend Becky,…

Woodpecker Challenge 6 Hours 2021

I started the day with a can of Monster… this is important later… ha! And off I went to Brixworth Country Park for a Big Bear event! So after arriving, making a meal out of the parking machine and popping to the loo it was time to get going. I had 16km as a goal,…

Review : Salomon Adv Skin 12

Pockets pockets and compartments compartments. Check out my review of a previous model here, or of the Adv Hydra 8 here. I’m all about pockets! This vest has lots of them! It also comes with different ways to attach your poles and an insulated bladder cover unlike the Adv Hydra 8 (but this was more…

Maverick adidas TERREX Original Bucks 2021

Yaaay, another race! This one was a distance I had never raced before – 8.16km. I knew there would be hills and it would be hot! I had a really busy morning and got myself a bit stressed, but it all went away when my friend Becky came along to pick me up. We had…
