BBC News - Are women better than men at endurance running? - BBC Sport
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cwyzx1gxwqlo

An interesting article about how the gender gap narrows as the distance increases in races.

Women have beaten men in some high-profile endurance events in recent months - are they better suited to these challenges?

Congratulations to all our Big Half 2026 finishers and supporters. It always seems to be hot at the Big Half so well done in the challenging conditions. It's always great to have an event that finishes locally (in Greenwich)

Here are some of our Sunday Long Runners today.

Here are some reasons to run in a group.

1. You always have company and safety in numbers.

2. You find new routes that you have never run before.

3. It's social and time goes much quicker.

4. Group running motivates to keep going even when you are feeling tired.

Our new free Couch to 5k group starts week commencing the 21st September. Do come along.
