Alsager 5 - 17th in 24:27, and not 18th as results suggest. So this my first race in a long time and to be fair it showed. I felt ok going through the first mile in 4:32, and then 2 miles in 9:18. But then I started to feel a bit leggy. I was in the group with Norman, Buckley and a few others befor .. Read More

1STTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Who said that I was crap at Cross Country. 7.5 miles of mud, more mud, Hills, and then a bit more mud. The plan was to go off easy then run the last lap hard, but I eased away at the start and just kept going. I felt really good in the last mile and if pushed could have won .. Read More

Well it was my second race as a dad and I managed to stay on 2 feet this time. Last year I ran 30:29 in pretty good weather, so 30:50 is an ok run considering the wind and the lack of sleep over the last week or so. I went off pretty steady and missed the break of about 8 athletes or so. I ended u .. Read More

Where do I start............. well the first 4 seconds of the race went fine until someone clipped my heel and I hit the deck. I tried to get up first time around only to be pushed back to the floor, I then tried again only to be kneed in the lower back which hurt quite a bit. I then decided to lye .. Read More

What a great day of racing. Newham were a class apart................. but the race for silver and bronze was great. On Thursday when I heard Milesy could not run due to a bad cold, I honestly thought that our medal chances had gone, and how wrong was I, every Belgravian gave it there all and the .. Read More

Another relay and another medal for me, although a little disappointed with Silver. Aldershot managed to get out most of there big names and deserved to take the win. It was also nice to see Woodsie walking around with a smile, or almost a smile. Leg 3 17:29. Went of pretty hard and clocked 8:59 a .. Read More

Cardiff 1500m - 8th 3:51.1 My first 1500 for about 10 weeks and it went ok. 400 - 62 800 - 2:04 bell - 2:50ish Felt pretty good early on and closed up right behind the leaders with 150m to go, they kicked and I didn't, although my mind wanted my legs thought otherwise. I have only done 2 real 1 .. Read More

Solihull 3kI was looking forward to racing again after a few problems and the 3k at Solihull seemed a good start. Friday started normally until my gold cap fell off my tooth, although I did find it later, then on my run I was stung by a wasp which I thought nothing of until I woke up in th .. Read More

Loughborough 3k - 8:23(9th) Another ok race. Weather was pretty rubbish and apart from Mellor and Vernon going out hard, everyone else pretty much jogged the first 2k, although Goose and Hay tried to go off pretty hard and suffered a bit later on. Still struggling to find a finish at the end of rac .. Read More

Armagh 5k - 14:24. Great race, great field, and a pretty good time for me. I felt really good during the race and ran the last 200 pretty strong, which is something I have been lacking of late. Even managed to push the pace on at the front of our little group, which is something I very rarely do a .. Read More

Alsager 5 - 8th 24:28 Another race, and another cold and windy day. I was really looking forward to this race even though i did not run super fast last year, again due to the weather. The plan was to start steady due to a slight calf niggle and work hard over the second half once warmed up. Felt pr .. Read More

So I hit the Cross Country on Saturday, I know what your thinking............ Middlesex Champs was the race and Trent Park was the venue - dame hilly. I have won the race twice in the last few years and fancied another crack at winning my title back. Weather - Freezing cold Ground - Frozen Hop .. Read More
