New Year’s Day saw my Fell Race debut (jury still out on if there will be a repeat appearance). 400m of ascent was plenty for me to be getting on with. Hope I am able to overcome the other challenges that 2026 will offer is similarly good spirits.

Excited to be making my @DerbyBookFest debut today, interviewing Paul Sinton-Hewitt the man behind @parkrunUK. Whilst nervous about my first appearance I know I will be safe with the parkrun community who make everyone feel welcome.
