parkrun Summer Series Update . Saturday 21/3/15. I quickly scanned the parkrun results not really expecting to see any WRC members names. I did think of a quick run round Burnage parkrun on the way to Ashton where I had to pick 3 tons of water up, but coupled with an early…
Sweatshop 10, Blackpool – Sunday 15th March Gail and I ventured the 60 mile journey to Blackpool to run this 10 mile race in preparation for the half marathon next week. The course was changed from previous years, instead of being out and back, it was 2 laps of running…
New Balance Stafford 20 – Sunday 8th March 2015 Only four of us were mad enough this year to venture to Stafford for a 20 mile jaunt. This is an annual pre-marathon staple for Gareth, Christian had previously run this before joining WRC, so was hoping to better his previous…

Llandudno 10k, Sunday 8th February Having left Wilmslow in the mist and travelled through alternate patches of sun and cloud, it was a treat to run in the sunshine at Llandudno. There was quite a crowd of us from group 3, all bunched together at the start on the promenade. …
Wadsworth Trog, Hebden Bridge, Saturday 7th Feb 10:00 At training the week after Mike Hill, Adam Neale and I did the Tour of Pendle, one of them mentioned doing the Wadsworth Trog and as a sucker for punishment (and good training for the Wasdale X Ironman in June) I put it…
