If you want to know when it’ll be good weather again just ask Krysia when she’s doing her next endurance event – first the Paris Marathon and now the Crystal Palace triathlon – both on scorching hot sunny days!
It certainly worked for our friends – we’re off to Teddington for a BBQ!
The day started early (which wasn’t a bad thing as the forecast for later was 25 degrees), with a 5 mile cycle to the event (with a killer uphill at the end). Read more

Here’s a pic of 2 happy Clapham Runners who finished the paris marathon in under 4 hours – woo hoo!! Amazing that we ran into each other at the finish line in a crowd of about 38,000 runners! Read more
Well done to Janie for her 5km in Washington – completed in 28 minutes in 30 degree heat and 100% humidity (don’t think I would have fancied that!). Janie’s team (family and friends from over the world) raised over $7,000 for brain cancer research.

The Muller 10km in Market Drayton in Shropshire was my first race actually wearing my Clapham Runners shirt. I took both the long sleeved and the short sleeved ones to Shropshire because I was determined to wear our colours in a race and I didn’t know what the weather would be like. It was actually a short sleeved day. This was better news for wouldbe barbequers that it was for me. I haven’t done much training in the sun. Admittedly, since the weather has got a bit better, my training outside of the Thursday sessions has been somewhat patchy. Still, as the race was organised by Muller I’d probably get a free yoghurt at the end and so it wasn’t going to be all bad! Read more
