13th March 2011 Like Louise and Tom we were up against it with the quality and depth of the Trafford 10k field. With practically the top 50 under 34 minutes and a crowded fast start there was little chance to run your own race, it was a sprint from the…
Saturday 12th March Perry Park Birmingham I picked up Tom early Saturday morning & we set off for Birmingham hoping the rain would hold off. By the time we got to the Alexander Stadium – which is currently being renovated for the USA to use in 2012 – the…

27 Februray 2011 This is a nice little race that is a bit like Whitley 10k. The only problem is that it is full by about November. I was somehow nearly 2 minutes slower than my last run here in 2009. It was rather windy and waterlogged in places and…
It was disappointing, having left Wilmslow in perfect running conditions, to arrive at a windy Blackpool. A fast time on a flat course was dead and I hadn't even got my shoes on. The sign on the tram stop where I parked actually said 'Bispham'. I recall my grandmother, a…

Sunday February 6th. Alsager attracts a quality field, I seem to remember Mike Halman finishing 44th. Nevertheless it has never been that popular with Wilmslow runners; those who are not training for London have their eyes on the Wilmslow Half and a five-mile Sunday does not fit the schedule. We…

The strongest feature in the figures is that five (Matt, Christine, Richard, Soraya, James) of the top seven in the list were in their second* year with the club. For those in their third* year, few maintained their second year progress and the majority fell back. It does seem that,…
