Over the previous weekend I embarked on a 24-hour endurance relay as part of a team of eight. With captaincy provided by Alan Pollock, could Hyde and Sleek take the intra-club crown? Friday morning rolled around and it was time…
You’d think it would be difficult to distil an entire weekend into a few words for a blog post, but in this case, I can summarise it in just three: Type 2 fun For those who don’t know, there are…
So having been accepted as a mental health ambassador and now being part of a monthly #runandtalk session, I thought it would be a good time for another blog. My plan is to be open and honest about mental health,…

This blog is dedicated to Claire, Tinners, Jules, Jeffers, Bru, Luca, Debs, Bev, Chelle and the Lady Lund. If Carlsberg did support crews…you’d be it. Thank you for making it all so much fun. Yes, I went right to the very…
Ten Hyde Park Harriers made the short trip up to Addingham for the latest round in the Fell Championship: Beamsley Beacon. A serious crash on the A65 had myself and Paul (who had kindly picked me up from work so…

When your friend sends you a message about a half marathon in Norway and suggests a weeks walking holiday around it, there’s really no other reaction than to reply with “hell yes!”. So that was that, plans were in place…

26 Hyde Park Harriers (16 men and 10 ladies) headed to Otley on a Wednesday evening for the 10 miler which was round 3 of the club road championship. Its a challenging route but can produce some good times. The first…
