When, a couple of months ago, a friend of mine who lives in Denmark suggested we meet in Sweden to run an ultra marathon along a famous Swedish cross country skiing route, I could barely contain my excitement. Thankfully, there…
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…
