Vitality London 10k – Kate Parker
A few weeks ago I was invited to run the Vitality 10K with Will Lucas, and some of our other colleagues at work for a fab charity ‘Lessons for Life’. With the Yateley series already booked in the diary, I thought now was probably a good time to run an actual 10K. My previous PB’s […]
More GBR action – Sharon Burfield tells of her first time…
As a Green Belt Relay virgin, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this all weekend event. As I had said to my work colleagues, I was going to spend most of my weekend being driven around in a minibus with one stop on Saturday and another on Sunday for a run. Well that […]
May 27th/28th – SJ Weekend Run Down

After returning to full time work from two back to back maternity leaves, I was looking for a way to get fit and lose the baby weight that was cheaper than a gym membership and could also fit around my life as a busy working mum. I found Pure Beginners completely by chance on a […]
In search of interesting 10kms – Alurie Dutton shares ‘the knowledge’ on the best 10km events out there…
A year after training for Race for Life my sister, Yvette, and I decided that we needed to have a focus for our running and so began our quest. We would find and run a 10km event every month. That was 5 years and about 100 events ago. So far this year we have managed […]
