I find it hard to believe that 2016 is the 4th year I’ve run the Trowse 10k. It’s become something of a tradition now to get up stupidly early on Easter Sunday for the 9am start, then be in the…

Marriots Way 10k 2015
I am officially naming this run the one in which I gave up chasing a Personal Best. I didn’t do the Marriots Way 10k in 2014, despite having paid for my spot, because I was exhausted after having organised Norwich…
