Sedgefield parkrun.

Is the prettiest parkrun?!

I think its certainly up there with the best of them. Simply stunning.

Two laps of a beautiful park.
Lots of toilets, and usually a large cafe. We will return to sample that.

Sedgefield parkrun today. Another one closer to completing the North East Region. Video in the making.
Carried onto Boroughbridge for breakfast at the Hideaway (our third visit here as I really like it). Then onto Leicestershire ready for our event tomorrow.

The plan is coming together… and it just got REAL 👀🔥
A few weeks ago I lined up at the VO2 Max Racing Events Northumberland Duathlon — a qualifier for the 2027 World Standard Distance Duathlon Championships…
…and I BLOOMING DID IT!!! 💥
I secured the Q2 spot 🥈🙌
Still buzzing at the thought of what’s ahead — I’ve got the incredible opportunity to race for Team GB Age Group on the world stage in CANADA 🇨🇦🍁
This is just the beginning…
Follow along as I take you behind the scenes and show exactly how my training evolves for the challenge ahead 👊🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Travelled for Sun City Tri club’s 4th outing of the 5k Championship.
Double celebrations for Johns 200th parkrun and his 51st different venue (we are terrible friends), failing to acknowledge his 50th different venue at Demesnes a few weeks ago! Sorry John!
A fabulous venue, (in my option) could only be marginally improved by the start and finish being closer together. Until next week…. Happy Easter 🐣

Last night found me plodding the pavement of Sunderland for the Events Of The North: Crammy Doughnut run with a Chery on top. A chance to run some of the route for the upcoming Sunderland City 5k.

The run was followed by a quiz, at Sheepfolds Stables hosted by Steve Cram himself with the chance to win the use of a Chery for the weekend sponsored by SG Petch.

Each runner got a doughnut at the end provided by Deep North. I can honestly say it was the most beautiful donut I’ve ever had, it was so good I inhaled it and totally forgot to take a photo!!

Lovely to see some familiar faces on the run including Al Pepper Runs, Freddy Runs and -Al Best as well as meeting new people for a chat. Not forgetting my girls, Lynn, Michelle, and Sonia who it’s always a pleasure to share some miles with.

Full video coming soon.

An outdoor commute in Northumberland. Needs must to get back from dropping the car off at the garage. Lovely enjoyable ride.

Dropping the car at the garage and enjoying the views on the way home.
