When me and my boyfriend decided to book a holiday to Australia for 3 weeks I couldn’t bear the thought of not training for that long so I decided to look for races that were being held whilst we were there. There was a 10K being held in Byron Bay on the weekend we were […]

North Eastern XC Champs 2015
I deliberately avoided all things XC last year due to my dislike of mud, the cold and awful memories from my school days when I’d do anything to get out of it (fake notes you name it). This year however I felt like I’d be missing out on all the stories and the laughs so […]

Brampton 2 Carlisle Race Report
After thinking of what run to select for the captains race I thought of something that wouldn’t be too long, that nearly everyone could complete and would be a good gauge of how their years training has gone so I chose the Brampton – Carlisle 10 miler. I hoped we might have more than […]

Race Report Tanfield Cross Country 26th September 2015
Pretty much right from the point of joining Saltwell back in July there were whispers of this thing called ‘the Cross Country season’. For me cross country was just dim and instant memory; plodding around muddy fields or tracks at secondary school on dark nights in the autumn months. As mid -September approached what to […]
Temple Park XC Race Report
Well it was another glorious Saturday afternoon, and perfect conditions for our second cross country of the season, and only my second in 30+ years. The memories of Tanfield were still fresh, and the thought of another 6 miles in the mud with my fellow hoops actually brought a smile to my face. As […]
