So it seems that the next full moon is on Christmas Day. Sunset is at 3:49pm. Moonrise is at 4:31pm. So by 5pm it will be dark, there will be a full moon really low in the sky and I will be looking for ways to burn off the food, drink and family I … Read more
I gave a little talk at a stroke survivors social group this morning. It was to tell people about the rehab group class we are starting in January. I think it went down well (I hope it did, anyway). And everyone seemed pleased that we are finally getting things going. It seems there is a … Read more
The title of this post is a famous quote from Woody Allen. And I have found myself using it quite a bit recently, especially in the run up to Christmas. I’ve recently started to run group sessions for some office workers (click here if you are interested in something similar) and as usual, a few … Read more
Last Saturday, me and Jo had a go at Urban Attack at the Manchester Velodrome. This is definitely an obstacle “race!” The course is very short (it’s set on the BMX track) and you dash your way round against the clock. The fastest go through to the next round, until the best 15 males and … Read more
As of this Sunday onwards (Nov 29th), Broughton outdoor group training will be from 3-4pm. Otherwise, all is the same.
What is Full Moon 5k (ish)? I always like a full moon. I guess it’s because I grew up re-watching An American Werewolf in London. But now I actually get to go around Yorkshire during a full moon and try to “stay, on, the path”! So, it’s a full moon each month and if you want … Read more
Just a quickie to say there will be no training on Sunday 8th. A bunch of us are going down south to take part in the Wolf Run. But there will be the normal training at Silsden on Friday evening. So maybe try that one instead? Thank you!
So things have been happening over the last few weeks, so here is a little catch up so I know where I am and hopefully you do too… Regular outdoor group training sessions every week! Sundays, 4-5pm. These have been going for a few weeks now and so far, so good! We are using the … Read more

Meet at the swings and roundabouts. How much. For this dress rehearsal, it’s FREE! Gives me a chance to practice on some willing guinea pigs and it saves … Read more
We dashed 22 miles up Snowdon the other day (http://www.ratracemanvsmountain.com/). It was lovely. A really fun day out. I well recommend it to you. Anyway, before it, there was plenty of discussions about “optimal refueling” and “rehydrating” and should we be “carbo-loading” or did we have enough “electrolytes in our precision gels” etc. All wonderful, interesting … Read more
Someone told me racing up Snowdon would be a good idea, so I’m away next weekend. So to make up for it, I’m presenting you with a double header on Sunday 13th! When Sunday Sept 13th. 9am and then again at 4pm. Click here to register your name so I know who is turning up… … Read more
Powered by Eventbrite What FLASHmob group training is our ab-hoc training sessions. They happen at random times, random places and consist of random things.

Powered by Eventbrite What. This is the next FLASHmob group training session! Dash up to reservoir, then up and back down Pendle hill. Check the weather before you set off.

Do you “Train”, or do you “work out”? Do you think there is a difference between the two? Have you ever been so bored/nerdy/pedantic to even ask this question of yourself? As usual, this question came about from various random chats I’ve had with people recently. And in my head it comes down to our … Read more
Powered by Eventbrite What. This is the next FLASHmob Group Training session… Want to get faster at running? Want to improve your speed? You could continue jogging further and get even better at going at the same pace, or you can actually do some work on going faster. If you prefer the second option, register your place below and … Read more
Up until now I have been doing my Rees Fitness coaching in my spare time. My full time job was working in the council run gym at Skipton. Because of this, I have never been able to be fully commited to Rees Fitness…but that is all changing now. As of September, I will no longer … Read more
After a busy few weeks, it’s time for the (semi) monthly Strength & Fitness Assessment! If you don’t know what we get up to, or what is assessed on these things, I’ve explained it all in the past, so click here. But if you want to see how you are progressing, or if you are … Read more
So after a random conversation last month, we decided to do this… Next full moon, why not do a moonlit run up and down a local hill! So the next full moon is Friday, July 31st. The moon rises here at 7:46pm and the sun sets at 9:08pm. So the plan is to meet up … Read more
First of all, a quick disclaimer: I am not a woman. I never have, nor never will be pregnant. I am NOT any kind of expert in training pregnant people. So feel free to ignore anything I am about to write. But I would prefer it if you thought about it critically and let me … Read more
