Dales Trail Series – DT40 2016 Jon Ayres

Semer Water, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, Saturday, September 24, 2016

40km

Jon Ayres

I’m currently feeling pretty miserable my pace has dropped to nothing but a shuffle, the pain killers I took earlier clearly aren’t working, pre-cramp pains are shooting up my legs, I’m aware of another club member who’s hauling me in and it’s only mile 10 of 26. Other than that everything else is just peachy. … Continue reading Dales Trail Series – DT40 2016 Jon Ayres

2.4 miles swim, 112 miles bike, 26.2 miles run

Debs Goddard

I was so happy to have even made it to the start line of this event after six months of hard training and a knee injury which meant that I hadn’t run for more than six miles since January. For the last week I’ve lived on a diet of ibuprofen and practically bathed in alcohol … Continue reading IRONMAN UK 2016

Castle Bolton, Wensleydale, Sunday, July 31, 2016

CM / 8.5 miles / 1000 feet

Jack Lee

In a week that had already been packed full of running I found myself standing at the start line to the James Herriot Country Trail Run chatting to Geoff Davis and Penny Browell, Susan Davis having dropped back a bit further from the start line. In an instant chatting turned into a frenetic mayhem as … Continue reading James Herriot Trail Race 2016

Borrowdale Fell Race 2016

Saturday, August 6, 2016

AL / 16.8m / 6562ft

Danny Lim

  I was stood in a field in Rosthwaite, a tranquil village nestled amongst the central fells of the Lake District. “Hello Danny!”. I looked up to see a familiar face, it was Trevor Matty from Dark Peak. Last year, we hobbled together, cramping up in agony as we made our way to the final … Continue reading Borrowdale Fell Race 2016

Jack Lee

“It’s a wonderful day in the West Dales” I tell myself as the wind and rain slam into my body so hard that it makes me stumble on the final ascent of Randygill Top (624m). The rain feels like needles on my face as I pump my legs up the steep bank with my hands … Continue reading Weasdale Horseshoe 2016

In a nutshell, the event involved 24 X 1 hour classes on the Swiss Ball, which as you may know is something we use for many of … Continue reading Neil’s 24 hour Swiss Ball-a-thon Challenge
