Final two months of a long race year In the first 10 months of the year, if you include parkruns (which I’d ran at race pace), I’d ran 48 races. That’s over one per week! They’d been of varying distance and terrain, which had really helped me stay ‘sharp’ for the big events. I’m not […]
Recap… In my 2022 review parts one (here) and two (here), I’d took you through my gradual progression in the first half of the year – getting stronger, fitter and increasing my endurance levels. In May, I’d belted out a couple of trail races, ran a 10km PB, survived a very testing long training weekend […]
Recap from part one… In my last post here, I told you how 2021 had gone and of my fitness levels entering the new year. I had a few major mazza’s lined up, some time-related targets, I’d joined a running club (Blackburn Road Runners) – most of all I wanted to get more miles in […]
End of the 2022 road running season For many people the autumn big races see the end of their running ‘season’ (if such a thing really exists for non-elite runners…). Whilst we all have a few November and December races lined up, the winter is all about getting a good block of tough training in […]
OTM 2022 Race 3 (17th Sept.) Review Perfect sunny, dry and cool (around 15c) conditions were provided for the runners of the final race of the series. Some of the front-runners waited with anticipation to see if certain speedsters (Billy, Katey etc.) would enter on the day once again. Whilst we had three join us […]
What was the fun run/walk for and where did it take place? As part of the ‘Linking Leyland’ charity fun day, raising vital funds for Leyland Trucks Helping Hand beneficiary charities (as listed below). The headline sponsor was the Rotary Club of Leyland, with TRB leading the organisation of the 10k fun run & walk. […]
OTM 2022 Race 2 (August) Review Following the first race in July (read the review for that race here), we went again with the second (of three) race on Sat 20th August. For race 1 we had 22 people register and 20 of them turn-up (two DNSs), for race 2 this had increased to 30 […]
OTM 2022 Race 1 (July) Review On Sat 16th July, TheRunBible hosted it’s first actual in-person event in the North West of England (after plenty of virtual and solo versions, during the dreaded recent pandemic times of 2020 & 2021). The first of the three-part 1-mile Old Tram Mile 2022 race series went really well! […]
Once upon a time, I hated running. I mean HATED it, even running for the bus would result in me resembling a soggy beetroot… So, when my husband Dan decided to start running again after a 20-year break (he used to run competitively in his school years), I thought he was nuts! I cheered from […]
It is well documented how tough a year 2020 has been for businesses. For TRB, I think we have been relatively lucky. It’s been frustrating, and sometimes a little challenging, but with both Dan and I having full time work out-with the company we’ve not suffered from the downturn like many other business owners have.
