So this weekend I completed the Ragnar Relay race, the White Cliffs event from Sittingbourne to Brighton. Its an amazing weekend and I absolutely loved it. I had the honour of kicking it all off for our team by running leg 1 at 10am on Saturday morning. Our team finished at about 13.20 Sunday...

Yes we are still running it. We arrive into Sofia on Saturday afternoon. We plan to pick up our running numbers at some point on the Saturday, I will message you and we can meet up?

Some interesting lunch time reading today. I think we all run for different reasons but mainly because we like getting outdoors and being able to run plus it helps to keep you fit & healthy (body and mind) I avoided park run for a long time as "speed" isn't my thing, but I am competitive by...

As englandfans member we got tickets for £30 last night. The Montenegro and Bulgaria home matches we got for £20 as extra discounts at the moment for matches at Wembley in certain sections of the ground. They know its not an attractive set of home qualifiers, but after 5-0, 4-0 and 5-3 at the...

The 4 home qualifiers are hardly crowd pullers and this once coming on the back of the Saturday match was always going to be a tough one to sell at Wembley. The Montenegro match was also planned to be outside of Wembley but as its the 1,000 England match they have gone for Wembley as plan to do...

I am doing the Bacchus HM on Sunday, its a run more about wine than time as its through the Denbies Vineyard near Dorking. Each drinks stops (6 of them) has a different wine available and then you get wine post run (and a hog roast)! Looking forward to it and I have been told that if you don't...

H v Bristol Rovers in 88

I did the Henfield HM yesterday like soistes and he has summarised it well. Final field was 155 runners and I think all 155 drowned rats enjoyed themselves. A fair hike to the start line when it was raining at its heaviest, but it was fine once you got running and warmed up and even better...

Gay Meadow was included , LOL. I missed out Underhill and Millmoor. How many grounds have Brighton played at that have now been demolished? I never made Eastville, also didn't get to the one time Brighton played at Odsal (I think still used for Rugby?) and I am sure there must be other...

I have been to the following with the Albion that sadly no longer exist. Loved all the old grounds, however dilapidated - favourite was probably Upton Park as a great atmosphere and so close to the pitch. Highfield Road - Coventry Baseball Ground - Derby Victoria Ground - Stoke Manor Ground...

Well done all the Lunar-Tics, a great achievement. I was at the same wedding as Guinness Boy on Saturday and on Sunday I felt like death just slightly warmed up. I managed a slow plod around Hove Park before taking my Mum up to Devils Dyke and a little walk along some of the South Downs way...

Doing the HM in Sofia, there are 4 of us doing it. No idea on tickets yet as Bulgaria up on a charge of racist chanting v Kosovo so a likely punishment of a game behind closed doors! If its not then tickets will be easy to get out there, I cant get them in the England end as one per member and...

A 50th Birthday pressie that I wont forget in a hurray! Yep next big challenge will be Beachy Head! I need to know more about the sausage rolls!!!! PS if we need my chest light then we may have taken a wrong turning!

Well what can I say. I completed the RTTS 100k Ultra Marathon this weekend. Its hard to sum up the emotions that you go through during this type of event. Its is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done, I have copied my Facebook post 24 hours after I finished as it reflects how I was...

Some great times on Wednesday, well played all. I must have a go at a 10k PB at some point, but probably not this year although I had entered the Brighton 10k in November, well I had but then got my money back as they have fallen out with the Admin company running it for them, but will rebook...

Good luck all doing the Phoenix 10k. I love this race (and post run beer) but with the RTTS on Saturday giving it a miss this year. Did my final steady trail run on Sunday (6.5 miles) around Cuckfield with some mates from our running club. Some great places to run when you have a bit of...

The Sheffield Park "Redwood run" - 8k in total was great fun last night, it was indeed a fab place to run. What a fantastic evening weather-wise . We got held up a herd of lively cows who wanted to join in, then a flock of sheep invaded out track (well actually their track!). Just under 300...

Great stuff BenElton'sBrother . Indeed I don't have that medal and even more disappointingly never been to Canada! Doing the inaugural Redwood Run in Sheffield Park tonight - organised by Haywards Heath Harriers. An 8k run and the route looks fun. I like these smaller events.

I volunteered at Tilgate Park Run on Saturday, was a pacer as pacer day but due to the heat they called off pace runners as didn't want people pushing too hard in the heat, it was 23c at 9am! So as they where short of other volunteers switched over to a sweaty high viz bib instead! Local...

So on Saturday/Sunday I did the Tromso Midnight "Sun" Marathon. Sadly it should have been called the Rain, rain, rain, cold rain, cold puddle and rain marathon. It was the most miserable marathon of the 13 I have now completed. We guessed it rained for 24/26.2 miles. Tromso is a lovely place...
