So this is the race which inspired me to write a blog; I’ve done a lot of races by now, but this one just felt a bit special. A year ago I made a brief return to Coniston, where I’d…
End of second week of training, which has been primarily based on upping the elevation gain… which of course if it goes up it must come down. Week one consisted of 60 miles and a tad over 13,000ft. Week two was planned…
As I sit on my settee at home at 08.00 on Sunday having got home from Guisborough around 23.00 last night, I feel much better. Last night I couldn’t eat my tea, or any food for that matter. My feeding…
First of all I’d like to say a huge thank you too all of those involved in the seamless running of the club. Richard for getting everyone registered and everyone involved back in December and Phil for organising race 2…
During the week before I ran October’s Abingdon marathon, I was lucky enough to get one of the HPH club places at the London marathon in April 2017. I promised to blog about the training and the build up ……
Why I Run Every Day or: What exactly are those numbers on your Strava?! If you’re on Strava you may have seen me prefix my run with a number – a few of you have asked me about it so…
Manchester Marathon 2017 training blog week 13/20 The Liversedge Half is one of my favourite races, and it is always part of my spring training calendar building through to the marathon. It’s relatively local to Leeds, it’s an unrepentant tough,…
I managed a PB for the course, an improvement of 4 minutes from last year, with a finishing time of 3:hr 55mins. ( ) The race starts in Guiseley, climbing up over Baildon Moor then Rombalds Moor, a loop round then back…
28th & 29th January 2017 What a weekend! The “Sir Titus Trot” marathon started at Saltaire on Saturday at 9:30am not too bad I thought until I got there and it started raining. Not too badly but it doesn’t fill…
Since moving away from Leeds, away from HPH training sessions and away from the abundance of races nearby I’ve found myself running significantly less so when I saw this race relatively close I jumped at the opportunity to sign up.…
Polar Night Half Marathon – Tromso, Norway Saturday 7th January 2017 – 3pm Hannah Marshall To make sure my 10th half marathon was something a little bit special, I travelled to the Arctic Circle to take part in one of the more…

Here is my run report for the Old Deer Park 10km from November This time last year I was pregnant but I also made a pact with my mother in law to run a 10k race with her this autumn,…
I thought I’d be sick of marathons by now but entering the Berlin Marathon Ballot back in November 2015 was far too tempting. Fast forward to January 2016, and we (Mike Webb and I) were in as an ‘international pair’.…
My Dad and I decided to enter the Berlin Marathon this year to tick completing a marathon off his bucket list of “things to do when I’ve retired”. We choose Berlin so we could visit the area where my late…
Back in March this year Alan and I booked our first holiday together. I had always wanted to visit Mexico and see Chichen Itza and perhaps add in a Caribbean Island as well, so we booked a trip to Mexico and…
“I can’t believe I just got overtaken by a guy taking a f**king selfie.” And with those words ringing in my ears, I summited the Auckland Harbour Bridge on the only day of the year it’s open to foot traffic.…
Do we have free will? Can you really experience anything objectively? And is it possible to taper for a marathon if you’ve not really trained? They’re all great philosophical questions of our time, but thankfully I’m only going to be…
During the week before I ran October’s Abingdon marathon, I was lucky enough to get one of the HPH club places at the London marathon in April 2017. I am chuffed to bits about this and am really looking forward…
So its official, I am now a marathon runner. I can hang up my running shoes now, ok maybe not just yet. So why did I chose York and this year. Well when I started to think about attempting a…
