Saturday 20/06/15 Jim followed Malc to Lyme Park this Saturday and clocked exactly the same time of 19.46 finishing in 4th place, putting him joint 3rd with Malc and 4 seconds ahead of Brian McCoubrey. No runners at South Manchester which I still think will prove to be the faster…
Cheshire Grand Prix Summer Series, race 13 Ellesmere Port. A new venue for me, a PB course say the organisers. Good news for some, but my 7 counters for the Series consist of 5 off-road plus two parkruns. Not, I believe, a reflection of my road running but others off-road…
The North Cheshire 5K Grand Prix Series ran two events last week, races 4 and 5 in the series. Race 4 Dunham Massey 2 – 11th June There were past doubts on the accuracy of the Dunham courses which Altrincham A C reckon they have rectified this year. Whether they…
Summer series, race 12 Sunday June 14th. The results are a product of Tony photographing the hand-written result sheets, which he then emailed to me to decipher and type. It's quick, if a little laborious, and doesn't guarantee total accuracy, please check. 15 Mike Hill 1:20:01 20 Allan…
I want to float the idea of stealing the one-hour concept from cycling. Would there be interest in one Thursday evening, instead of the normal run, we see how far we can each run in an hour? I've not spoken to Paul, am not down Tuesday, but if there is…
Five of us headed to Snowdonia this weekend for a fell running training course, where we learned about kit, ascending, descending and map reading…. Sharon, Sarah, Julie, Nina and I will share a few of our tips in the next newsletter. It was an excellent weekend and we can thoroughly…
Saturday 30/05/15 I headed for Congleton along with Don. The only thing worth reporting, the coffee was good. I struggled round in 25.52, passed Tony on the second lap who only just made the start and didn't actually finish, it appears he had to take a comfort break and didn't get…
Birchwood 5K 29th May 2015. Spectrum Striders introduced this race to replace the Lymm 5K in the North Cheshire 5K series. The start was the long straight which we are familiar with from the finish of the Birchwood 10K. The course breaks down into 1k of road then the remainder…
May 28th Just the five of us ventured to Staffordshire Moorlands first Summer Series race, ten in total. It was raining on the journey there but as we were getting closer the sky was becoming bluer, ending up being a clear sunny evening and perfect running conditions. It was a lovely race, quite undulating in areas and with cracking views of…
parkrun "Summer Series" Update. Saturday 23/05/15 As the season moves on I am sure we will get more runners turning up to register scores in the parkrun table, not surprising that numbers are thin on the ground at the moment as the summer series and other races are coming thick…
