Training Run – 24th February 2026

By Peter Coulthard

What a lovely impromptu trot around some trails last night. Oh, and how warm it was without rain or wind too!

Even more amazing, the flood waters and bogs are receding. Is this the start of spring?

Those that attended decided to eschew the planned pyramid session in favour of a little run out through Earle, out onto the Common, past the ponds, up “heartbreak hill” and down into Wooler. No rush so we could even hear and relish the calming effect of the gushing and gurgling of the water down the beck

No real need for trail shoes, although a headtorch may have been more illuminating than someone running by watch torchlight.

No slips trips or falls. Roll on the light nights so we can experience the views and wide-open trails again.
