Clapham Runners: November 2012
http://claphamrunners.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 4, 2012. A well earned Guinness! Clapham Runners' excellent 2012 achievements have included marathons completed in London, Edinburgh, Cork and Berlin. Last Monday (29/10), Dublin was the latest venue in our international series. In a moment of pre-Olympic madness I’d entered with my friend Angelina, figuring it had good PB potential given its likely temperature range and largely flat course. Conditions on the day proved ideal; around 8. C, overcast and little wind. So a hastily improvise...

To average close to my training target of 50km/week, albeit without a...

Clapham Runners: Muddy passions
http://claphamrunners.blogspot.com/2014/09/muddy-passions.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Well, that’s another pair of trainers and set of kit that'll never grace the streets of London again. Yes, if there’s a downside to the likes of Tough Mudder, the Spartan, The Major and The Grizzly, it’s that it’s pretty deathly for your sports kit. But I can live with that because what adventure racing really is is muddy, heart-racing fun. And a whole load of grim determination. And that’s just to get yourself through one mud pool. I ran through a hail of giant beach balls,...

Monday, November 17, 2014. The Rodings Rally is an all-night orienteering cum map reading competition that takes place in Epping Forest. The Rally follows a route through the forest along a variety of paths, tracks and trackless scrub, including holly as it turns out. There are ten checkpoints located within the forest with the final checkpoint at High Beach Village Hall with the route covering approximately twelve miles, 'as the crow flies'!

Clapham Runners: October 2012
http://claphamrunners.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Dearest Clapham Runners,. Here is my report from Berlin marathon that I managed to complete last Sunday. This was a race I genuinly did not expect to finish as I was feeling really unwell in my last couple of long runs. I would have pulled out if it hadn't been for a non-refundable hotel booking.No choice then but to give it a shot and see how far I could get. Finally, the Bradenbourg gate appeared and I passed under it-the end was now near! Get on with it woman. The taxi driver ...
