Hi well as we are near the end of 2011 and near the start of 2012 I thought it best to list what I have done in 2011 and what my targets are going into 2012. I write this as I have eaten far too much and run less than I should have this monthContinue reading “2011 into 2012”

Sunday 27th of November I ran the Hereward Ultra. This race is run as a club relay with over 100 teams taking part from many clubs around the south east. My club (Bishops Stortford RC) put in 4 teams. I drove up there with Sue(the missus) and we got there in time for a quickContinue reading “Hereward Relay Ultra”

A Little but late but better late than never. Sunday November 20th myself and Sue (my missus) took part in the inaugural Walden off road duathlon at Carver barracks in Essex. As it was a local event an several people we knew from our club and some others were taking part we thought we wouldContinue reading “Walden Off Road Duathlon”

Well where do I start? I entered this race mainly to try to beat a hilly 100 mile off road race as I have failed twice at the Lakeland 100. I have run 145 miles at the GUCR but on the flat. I knew this would be a tough race as only about a thirdContinue reading “Caesar’s Camp 100”

On Saturday we (Me and Sue and kids) travelled up to Straford upon Avon for me to run in the JW Ultra which runs from Stratford to Bournville Station in Birmingham. It looked like it was going to be a nice day for it with clear skies and we got up there early so SueContinue reading “JW Ultra”

I have managed to get a confirmed place in Caesars Camp 100 miler at the end of October. This will be my third attempt at 100 miles and hopefully I will crack it this time. It is a lapped 10 mile course so I can run light and have support available at the start/ finishContinue reading “I’m in!”

As we draw towards the end of the month and what will be my lowest mileage month of the year with only about 100 miles bagged due to holidays with family and other commitments. I start my new position at work on monday and I am in my last shift of 4 days at workContinue reading “More ramblings and a target.”

I have been thinking about where I go with my plans for next year after my failure at Lakeland 100, I had intended to complete it his year and move on but now I am not sure if I need to go back again next year and put it to bed so to speak. My original planContinue reading “Ramblings and Plans”

As you can tell from the title things did not work out as well as I had hoped. Friday morning the whole family had an early start and had a trouble free dive up to the start at Coniston and set up the tent. I went and registered for the race and a couple ofContinue reading “Lakeland 100 2 – 0 Lindley”

In 10 days time I will running into my first few hours at the Lakeland 100. I ran this race last year and it was my first ever DNF. I did 33miles in 12ish hours and pulled out of the race not because of injury or time cut offs but because I knew I couldContinue reading “lakeland 100 – The Return”
