We don't know how it happened either…
BBRC and BBR had a jolly lovely time (as usual) at the National Running Show in Birmingham in January 2023. As always the quality of the guests on stage was insane with Damian Hall talking it up fresh from winning The Spine, the fabulous Gary Robbins trying his best NOT to talk about Barkley, Sally...
...an féidir liom dul go dtí an leithreas? Races were a little slower to recommence on the Emerald Isle, so I was mega excited when Gillian Shorter suggested doing this event. I've had the pleasure of Gillian's virtual company for more than a year. I met her through BBRC, and meeting up for a race was...
The club AGM took place on Saturday 11th December in London and virtually via Zoom. Thank you to everyone who attended, either in person or online. You can find the full minutes of the meeting at https://www.facebook.com/groups/BadBoyRunningClub/files A good year for the club overall.

Another entirely non-running related BBRC Book Club must-have The reviews alone confirm that this book is the perfect literary companion for BBRC: 'Witty and intriguing title: A+, Living up to the title: C-' 'The characters are unlikable, the 'drunk' jokes are overused and tiring. The story itself is just stupid. Having said all that, it was still...
James Robinson's SVN Orc Rampage Whilst I have been a member of BBRC since the start of the year, my running was limited to anything up to a half-marathon (and sports involving cheat-machines or combining cheat-machines with running and very occasionally swimming). It was time to try something a bit longer (well at least for me)....
BBRC's Yorkshire and Humber Correspondent rep Mick Fenwick takes us up t'North “Anyone want a place in the August Hardmoors 55?” said the post in May 2021. “Three months to go,” I thought. I had been training for the recently cancelled Lyke Wake Challenge and I would now have more time to get even fitter!...
In May's edition, we featured Nikki's mission to complete 100 marathons in 100 days. Anyone following Nikki's adventure will know that things didn't go according to plan. Nikki has very kindly given us a Badger exclusive update on what went on. May 1st started off well at Colwick Park, Nottingham. I was only 15 minutes late...
A long time ago (actually my first office job) I had a manager who used swearing as punctuation. She did a presentation to our IT contractors when they were doing design work to replace a key system, and was unsurprisingly asked not to swear by senior managers. She made it all the way to the...
As the professional shit-stirrer who started all these book club shenanigans, D. H. Laurence Baldwin (not pictured) has finally done something useful with his evil genius and produced a totally relevant and insightful book review. Enjoy! Book Review: "Feed Zone Portables" Every now and again these lovely looking jam rice cakes pop up tagged with #feedzoneportables...
Richard Reynolds takes on the Greensand Ridge Walk Over a year ago - when FKTs were becoming a thing I spotted the route that no one else had claimed - the 64km (40mile) Greensand Ridge Walk. Annoyingly, 12 months on I've finally managed to get out onto the Greensand Ridge Walk - but not before two...
