5th September 2009 We were all expecting a mud bath but the running conditions were surprisingly good. Tom ran well for 3rd and recorded the best age graded score that we've seen for a while. Stephen again produced his iPhone barcode – he'll be in luck from 19th September when…
So we move into the most interesting part of the season. Damian is going to win, no surprises there, but there are surprises elsewhere and everything else is yet to be decided. Tony led for the first four months, but he’s already been overtaken by Jim as…
Why not try a different parkrun and compare courses plus the bonus of a new PB.For those who did the relays earlier in the year the course is very similar two laps almost to the bottom of Vernon park up the cobbles and around the 1k loop in Woodbank park…
Nearly 250 of us enjoyed a lively start to the Bank Holiday weekend. After a rainy week it was all a bit muddy and slippery in the park and most runners found it hard to match their times from the previous week. Not so Pete Bannister who chased Mike Cooper…

15th August 2009 A great run from Mark to take almost 30s off his course best. The story of the day was actually the 4th placed man – he'd forgotten his shorts and ran the race in his y-fronts. Running scared Mark held him off by just a second and…
248 runners enjoyed the sunny and dry conditions this week, and we witnessed a host of fast times as a consequence, including a new course record! Existing record holder, Steve Vernon, treated us to a magnificent display of 5K-running, stopping the clock at 14.50, which knocked 5 seconds off his…
2nd August 2009 Great fun cross country 10k along the river Dart and surrounding mud. Organised by Andy Penney's club Teignbridge Trotters. I somehow managed to lose yet another sprint for 2nd but did break the V45 course record. 1 0:35:35 BAKER, James Chichester Runners & AC 2 0:37:09 HAMBLIN,…
Rod’s on a mission; Moonraker Sunday, training Tuesday, Tony’s Langley Adventure Thursday and the Sale 10 on Sunday. An attempt perhaps to return to past glories after years of injuries and corporate dining. Perhaps though preparation for ‘his’ race – Pie & Peas. Not the running itself but his après-race…

Thinking of seeing a sports psychologist next to help me break through the 17 minute barrier as I also ran 17:01…
