Once again we had a fantastic turn out for the Redcar Running Festival and our annual club photo. As usual, the weather was less than brilliant but thanks to Photoshop, we can all pretend the skies were as blue as our running kit… Feel free to download and print a copy as memento...

On a recent evening run, alone and in the dark, I was unnerved to find myself being followed by some random guy in a car. He drove past me and waited at deserted, empty junctions for me to pass him. Doing this once was suspicious, but I figured he could have been lost or looking...

At a recent club evening, one of our members – a young, apparently healthy, regular runner – collapsed and almost died. Thanks to the valiant efforts of several club members and the quick arrival of an ambulance, he’s thankfully making a speedy recovery but this shocking...

In time-honoured tradition, club members assembled before the various races at the Redcar Running Festival for the annual club photo. After some wrangling, the motley crew lined up for a quick photo before heading off to warm up, marshal or just cheer on the other runners. Feel...

So, last week was the first of the three England Athletics #ClubRun coaching sessions by Daz Reevell and we had a fantastic turn-out, beautiful weather and a good laugh. We also suffered mightily. It was far too hot for anything more strenuous than a gentle jog and we attracted...

You’ve probably been told by well-meaning (or just mean) friends and relatives that running is bad for your knees, hamstrings, ankles, joints, ligaments and just about everything else. Science has proven that all to be utter bunk, but one thing the naysayers may just have...

I was a little nervous ahead of this race as I’ve only ever attempted two, very short Hardmoors runs before and one of those was horrendous (many of our club members are still suffering flashbacks and Tracy is still warming herself up!) Fresh from a non-too-restful night in...

How do you know when you’ve become a runner? Well, in all honesty, it probably isn’t after completing your first run/walk session and collapsing on the sofa swearing that you’ll never do that again (we’ve all been there, it gets easier!) But once...
