Stockport 10 – summer series, race 15
Can one missing marshal ruin a race? I think we came close on Sunday. The £13 entry and the goody bag didn't help…."not a goody bad, just a bag", as Mike said. Hopefully, as far as the Series is concerned, we can agree 'positions' for everyone that are the best…
Meerbrook 15k – Summer Series Race 13
Saturday July 27th. Metres of ascent is not a statistic that I normally extract from my watch but, if assume that it is the appropriate criterion for classifying Meerbrook as the toughest race on our calendar, then would I be correct at 500m? Temperature, a statistic that has much occupied us…

Burtonwood 5-mile
Summer Series, Race 13Saturday July 20th. The heat-wave continues unabated, but at 24o perhaps we were fortunate, 24 hours early and it would have been 30o, and that's also the forecast for Monday. Burtonwood evokes, from the past, the image of massive US cargo planes and bombers. Nowadays its more…
