Aside from our club training runs we are not always aware of the training that we each put in . Coe and Ovett had legendary rivalries to the extent that on Christmas day , each would commit to a second afternoon session in case their bitter rival might do likewise…
21 June 2008 A fine run from Geoff Gilbert took him to 3rd on the V55 all time list – all the more impressive as Geoff and Louisa had cycled to the park. Roy Pownall was on a mission to improve on Ian Ashcroft's course time – he thought that…
19th June 2008 This race follows a twisting 2-lap course in and out of Woolston Park has previously featured in the Summer Series. It proved a good run out for those of us too soft to tackle Shuttlingslow. 1 Ben Fish (Blackburn Harriers) 30:404 Rob Downs 33:5681 Catriona Marshall 48:43…

10th June 2008 This is a great race for a summers evening if you ever find yourself in the area. The course heads out of Banbury on increasingly rolling country roads. The hills are arranged Macc Half style with short sharp uphill slogs followed by long sweeping downhill before…
A huge turnout with 35 Wilmslow Vests at Bowden. This is always a popular race and there appear to have been a few PBs that night. 3 new members, Sharon, Nina & Chris made their debut, welcome to them. The top places of all three leagues remains unchanged. The Ladies…
More fun in the park. I thought that I had this in the bag after Damian's alarm clock didn't go off. But in the end I was throroughly outsprinted. Mike Cooper also left it late to dash past Ray Eagle. But Parrott jnr was the talk of the race with…
5th June 2008 It was a nice evening for a quick blast round leafy Bowdon. Damian took the race on and ran from the front but was just caught by Andy Norman in the final k. Tony continues to chip away at the club MV60 records like a Russian pole vaulter. There were close…
