Gwyn takes on London
Gwyn has secretly run the London marathon, posting an amazing time of 2h 33 min 46 sec and finishing 122nd!!
He did one bad thing and didn't run under the Westies banner, he was clubless..... Excluding that one miscalculation, well done Gwyn…
Random Japanese Marathon (Nagano)
Before I left Scotland in February I said to a few people that I was running a marathon in Japan and I'd write a race report. So here it is, apologies for dirtying these pages with talk of road running.

Kielder marathon
This was my first marathon and I wanted it to be a trail. It started at Leaplish waterside park in Kielder/ Northumberland. It rarely leaves the shores of Kielder water following the lakeside way. It has about 800ft of climb involving short…
