There’s nothing like a tough little fell race to get the crowds out in Ilkley, and on Tuesday evening over 170 hardy runners, and a whole crowd of enthusiastic juniors, braved the elements for the 21st Jack Bloor Fell Race.
So having registered all the juniors it was time for me to don my Gore [...]

The Reluctant Runner
All Dressed up with a long way to go…….
Did I mention I love clothes? Clothes for smart, clothes for casual, clothes for nights out, clothes for nights in….. and…. my latest fix…… clothes for running.
Ok so if I’m going to start this exercise business I have to look good while I’m doing it [...]

The Reluctant Runner

Down jackets in the past made most of us look like the Michelin Man and none of us wants to look like that even on a cold day.  So hurray! for the Ultra light down jackets which are available on the market today.
I’ve been testing out the Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket over the last few [...]

I love to look around the web and see what other people are saying about the items I stock.  I came across this review by Haley Toseland from Mountain Rock Outdoors.
I've had my Rab Down Jacket since just before the winter weather kicked in and it has proved to be a best buy over the last [...]

Don't use the fact of the nights drawing in and the days getting shorter to hang up your running shoes. Running in the winter evening for women is still a great way to keep fit and feel good about yourself, just remember your normal safety precautions that you would when running in the day or [...]

The Rab Momentum Jacket is my jacket of choice for running and biking. I treated myself to the Beluga size 12 this year which I was very pleased with this morning, as up here in Ilkley it has been chucking it down with high winds and hail stones.
So I was pleased to still be dry [...]
