LEEDS ABBEY DASH 10K – 39:43
December 8, 2018
Ever ran so hard that when you stop it feels like the momentum is going to bring you face to face with with your lungs? I smashed my 5k PB in March, 3 weeks into marathon training. I started to think, if I can get a 10k race in before, or not long after, the … More LEEDS ABBEY DASH 10K – 39:43

( 14.68 miles / 1727ft ascent ) This was my second Hardmoors half marathon after Goathland in November last year.

Time for a catch-up
January 8, 2016
It’s been 4 months since my original posts. I decided to keep the original posts set to private … I had so much on from September through to Christmas that I just knew I’d struggle to keep up to date with a blog.
