Lord of the Runs

Lord of the Runs

According to Wikipedia, Bilbo Baggins, at the start of Lord of the Rings, travels to Rivendell and visits the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain before returning to retire at Rivendell and write books. One assumes that one day he would catch up with Frodo, after the...

Midsummer Madness

Midsummer Madness

Midsummer always seems to come a bit earlier than expected. It seems like the summer only started a couple of weeks ago and yet last Wednesday, 21st June, was the Summer Solstice 10k in St Albans. Given that (hopefully) summer should last until somewhere around early...

Hospital Harriers

Hospital Harriers

The weekend of 10th and 11th June was hot. It was extremely hot in fact. So you would think that any kind of running would be tough. It was. In fact, Parkruns, at 9:00AM on Saturday felt very difficult indeed. One wonders why so many Harriers volunteered to run 13.1...

Pigs Fly before Bandits Relent

Pigs Fly before Bandits Relent

Regal Performance From Ultra-Harriers

Marathons and more Fairy Mishaps

Marathons and more Fairy Mishaps

The Easter weekend was a long one and clearly too long for every result to be reported correctly. Somehow rumours of a 5k race in Beaconsfield on Easter Monday had surfaced earlier in the weekend but then by the time of writing, nobody could remember exactly who had...

Easter Bunny Kidnaps Magic Results Fairy

Easter Bunny Kidnaps Magic Results Fairy

Angeline’s Magic Results Fairy has been failing in its duties recently. After she missed Jon Roberts’ V50 5k record on 26th March it transpired that she was also AWOL on 2nd April and failed to report Merlin Allan’s run at the Kew Half Marathon. Initially suspicions...

Half the Club at Berko Half

Half the Club at Berko Half

On Saturday February 25th Gade Valley Harriers continued their monthly Parkrun tour with a visit to Rushmere Parkrun near Leighton Buzzard. Rumours that head coach Ed Price had chosen the location primarily for its proximity to his house were dispelled when those that...

MTR Duty for Harriers

MTR Duty for Harriers

The weekend of 18th and 19th February started early for many of the Harriers as those that were preparing for marathons in the spring were mostly on duty throughout Sunday morning on the GVH Marathon Training Run and were thus doing their own long training runs on...

Harriers Find Reasons to Love Cross Country

Harriers Find Reasons to Love Cross Country

The second weekend in February, just before Valentine’s Day typically, normally marks the fifth and final fixture of the Chiltern League Cross Country Season. 2023 was no exception as GVH, and runners from 38 other running clubs, took part in the fixture at...

No Half Measures for GVH in Watford

No Half Measures for GVH in Watford

On the last weekend of January there wasn’t any organised racing action for Gade Valley Harriers so it was a convenient time for the club to continue its monthly Parkrun tour. So it was that on Saturday 28th January that a large cohort of over 20 GVH runners gathered...

Blizzard of PBs in Chilly St Albans

The running weekend of 21st / 22nd January got underway on Saturday morning as a handful of Gade Valley Harriers took on various Parkruns. Most of the Harriers were keeping their powder dry (and probably warm) for the Fred Hughes 10 mile race on Sunday but that didn’t...

Happy New Year Harriers

Happy New Year Harriers

Whilst there is no Christmas break to the running season, in fact there isn’t a running season (it goes on endlessly), individuals have Christmas breaks and there don’t tend to be many big events from about the second week in December until the second week in January....

Warm Words on a Freezing Cold Day for GVH

Warm Words on a Freezing Cold Day for GVH

As the meteorological winter properly kicked in and the football winter took hold for at least another 18 months, a handful of Gade Valley Harriers took on various Parkruns on Saturday morning and a small group of, it has to be said slightly mad, Harriers took on the...
