Yet again things are starting to open up again and we can run in small groups for a little while. Whilst there’s been no races, running with the club has been a life line for many of us. It’s been a year since Marathon Monthly/Monday began. Each month I learn a little more, but I […]
The world of running feels like it’s slowly becoming a little more social again now. It seems normal to run virtual runs now, with a lot of large scale races offering them as alternatives, like the London Marathon has done – at least we can avoid the crowds! We have the added bonus of group […]
Another Marathon Monthly and although most marathons have declared their position, two of them (London and Brighton) are still clutching their cards close to their chests, whilst we (the runners) await their decisions. We do have the excitement of a race in the not too distance future, with the Fox still going ahead, which will […]
Running with a little help from my friends I’m Nikki and I’m a first-time marathon runner. I’m spending some time, talking to members of WH who have run a marathon, to find out about their marathon experiences and to see if I can collect as many marathon tips and tricks as I can for myself […]

Social media, it’s not all bad… Adventures on the Azores Whalers Route With my interest growing in trail running and especially in mountain races my Instagram feed last year was bursting at the seams with stunning mountain vistas from races far and near. This is how I stumbled on and started to follow the “Ultra […]
In April, Steven will be running the London Marathon in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity. He has written an article which he has kindly shared with us. Thank you, Steven – and GOOD LUCK! I’m running a marathon this year – a sentence I never thought I would say. But here we are. I […]
A big thank you to Jon Lawrence for his write-up of his 10th Great South Run! The Great South run 2018 saw the club turn out in force for the annual 10 mile event held in Portsmouth. 34 club members made their way via cars and on the specially chartered Waverly Harriers Express. The event […]
When did running begin for you? I have my brother to blame for this. He forced me to go running with him once after sixth-form and I’ve not stopped since. Why do you run? Escapism – it’s a great way to unwind. Plus, if I run, I can eat what I like! What race or […]
