Blaydon Race 2010
June 9th , 2010
The Blaydon Race was a fantastic race again last night, not letting the rain and wind put off the thousands that took part.
I cracked a PB of 39 mins and was pretty pleased with that.

The Darlington Triathlon
May 16th , 2010
I took part in the Darlington Triathlon today, and finished with a time around 1 hour 25 mins (still to be confirmed). It was a fantastic event and very well organised and marshalled; one I'd totally recommend.
Well done to my client who also raced, Lee, and a massive well done to Andy, Ian, Chris, Graham and the rest of the lads who raced for the RVI charity.

North Tyneside 10k Race
April 4th, 2010
Another great turn out for the North Tyneside 10k race this year, and a great day for it with only a light wind and dry conditions. I did this years race in 42mins 45 secs, not a PB but a decent run.
This years focus for my own training will be competing in more sprint distance triathlons and trying to crack the 40 minute mark for my 10k time. Watch this space.

Krypton factor
January 15th, 2010
A client I trained with in 2009 was a contestant on the second episode of the Krypton factor this week on ITV. The Krypton factor is a series of mental and physical tests to push contestants to their limits, and includes the famous assault army course. The show featured a video showing us training with kettlebells on the beach at South Shields.

Peterlee Sprint Triathlon
September 21st , 2009
The Peterlee sprint triathlon was great yesterday. 150 competitors took part and I was one of them.
Started with a new Pb for the swim, then a pretty tough hilly cycle route before a pretty routine 5k run to finish.
==============================================================
Ponteland Triathlon
August 16th , 2009
I did the Ponteland Triathlon in a new personal best time for the swim, bike and run. Cant ask for more than that! This was a great event, 150 competitors from all abilities and shapes and sizes. I came 52nd overall.
==============================================================
Hull Sprint Triathlon
August 2nd , 2009
I took part in the Hull Triathlon today, a 400m swim/20km bike/5k run course which was fast, flat and a really good experience overall! Legs are suffering now but roll on the next one... (Ponteland in 2 weeks time!)

Blaydon Race
June 9th , 2009
The Blaydon Race yesterday was fantastic once again; 4000 people taking to the streets to run the 5.9 mile race. I bettered my time from last year by 3 minutes and ran it in 40 minutes (by my watch), though the official time will be +2/3 minutes due to the filtered start to the race.
I'd totally recommend this race for both newbies and experienced runners; its pretty flat, fast and the crowds at the end really spur you on.

North Tyneside 10k Race, Whitley Bay
April 12th, 2009
I ran the North Tyneside 10k race on Sunday from the Parks Sports Centre in North Shields, through to St Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay. It was a great run, pretty hot in the sun and a first time at this event for me. I completed the race in 41 mins 27secs; not a PB for my 10k but not too bad.
