About

Frustrated runner.
Working harder, stronger, faster.
However, picking up niggles and injuries along the way isn’t helping! So simply enjoying the runs & trails when I can.

Next Run Event

I had targeted to run again in the Ribble Way (Trail) Run in September, it only started in 2017 and so far I've run in both. In 2019 it was set the same weekend as the local airshow so there was a chance to see glimpses of air displays to distract during the run. But, a hip and Achilles injury spoilt that plan.

I had also had an eye in participating in one of the five Hell of a Hill Marathons - a series of daily marathons for 5 days, looping a trail course ascending Rivington Pike five times! But, training has gone out the window with injury since mid-Summer.

I now hope for recovery and then training to participate in Manchester Marathon in 2020 and hopefully a few more. Bolton Marathon has now also confirmed it's date as being 17th May 2020. As it's my home town Marathon, last run in the '80s, I plan on participating in that too. If they both go to plan, I'll finish the year with a go at one of the Hell of a Hill runs in November.
