In keeping with how things seem to have gone so far this year, the race seemed to have come around far too quickly. Training hadn’t really been going well since the Wiggle Yorkshire Tour Sportive when I had a sports massage to ease my back ache. Since then I seem to have had more problems … Continue reading Men’s Health Survival of the Fittest Urban Obstacle Race – Nottingham 10 October 2015
The Yorkshire 3 Peaks trek soon seemed to have come around. It had definitely come around far too quickly especially given how I had felt over the past couple of weeks. It all seemed to coincide with the sports massage I had at the end of the Wiggle Yorkshire Tour Sportive but since then … Continue reading Yorkshire 3 Peaks Trek (25 miles) 5 September 2015

Tough Mudder Obstacle Course Race 2 August 2015 It soon seemed to have come around since the last event even though it had been a few weeks since Total Warrior.

Admittedly after all of the illness that I’ve had since I started my year of challenges and the days lost in training … Continue reading X-Runner Water Wipeout Obstacle Course Race 20 June 2015
The day had come about a little too soon for my liking. After the Endurer Dash it was all too obvious that I wasn’t really in the shape that I had hoped I would be for the start of the mud runs and it had proved to be much harder than I was expecting. I … Continue reading X-Runner Wild Thing Mud Run 18 April 2015
