2025 Hadleigh (London 2012 Olympics Legacy) 10k Trail Run

Well, it’s done. My first ever Trail Run.

This was an interesting challenge. The thing I hate most when running is elevation. I’m rubbish with hills, and this had plenty of them, not to mention the mud making downhill sections especially slippery and tricky.

For some reason my elbow hurts. Everything else feels fine.

Southend Classic 10k - 40th Anniversary

My first 10k road race.

A great year to start with it being the 40th Anniversary of the Southend 10k.

In the past I didn’t much enjoy “longer middle distances”, but the more I do them the more I enjoy them these days!
