Wednesday June 14th. Summer Series, Race 10. We do cold and wet but hot and sultry is something of a novelty. 23oC when we left Wilmslow, a bit cooler in the hills, a touch of breeze but the sudden change in temperature made adjustment harder, but we ought to be…
Wednesday June 14th. Does anyone else have a problem with the results? I permanently wear a Fitbit which gave me a time of 43:33. My Garmin also gave a time of 43:33. My official time is half a minute slower. The person who finished in front of me was given…
Patrick retains top place with two weeks to go. None of the others, amongst 15 who have run at 4 different courses during January-June, were able to produce a time that improved their position. Roy, at Wythenshawe this Saturday, is making a late surge up the table. The winner will…
London Marathon GFA entries are now open, the deadline for submission is Friday 23 June.
Summer Series, race 9 Sunday June 11th. I automatically entered Race the Train without checking distance or terrain. It was 11.3 miles, mainly trail, undulating and being point-to-point mainly uphill, albeit not at a gradient that gave you vertigo. This was a race to compensate those who do uphill…

Patrick, at Lyme Park, produced the run that may, with only 3 weeks left, have decided the first parkrun4 competition. Tony had led for all but one of the previous 22 weeks and significantly improved his Burnage time, but it was not sufficient to stop him slipping into 2nd. place.…
Summer Series, race 7 Sunday May 29th. On the Rob Downs time driving/time running ratio, Bamford looks a poor deal, one hour driving for 4½ miles running. But, as the times show, this was not your typical 4½ miles. Good value in my book. It was cooler than…
Summer Series, race 7 Sunday May 29th. 25 Tom McGaff 38:00 52 Louisa Harrison 41:47 54 Rich Lawson 41:51 56 Ian Smallwood 42:04 68 Tim Billington 43:51 71 Tony Hulme 44:07 83 Sally Gilliver 45:15 86 Mark Crossland 45:33 108 Sally Price 47:43 109 Gail Hill 47:44 115…
Tony, this week at Wythenshawe, tops the table as he has done for 21 of the 22 weeks. 4 weeks to go. Trevor, chaperoning his daughter at Burnage, has lost second place to Mark, who was improving his Lyme Park time. Nicky’s time at Burnage takes her above John, who…
