Bigfoot Challenge 6h

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 6h

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

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,…

Maverick adidas TERREX Original Bucks

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…

Review : Nurvv Run

This had tempted me for a while after I suffered a broken ankle, but I decided against it because of price. I then suffered a stress fracture on my left foot and decided to take the plunge… I was really hoping they’d help me identify why I have left sided issues, and what to do…
