21st March 2009 It was a crazy day in the park. Great weather combined with a badly kept secret that we were being filmed for TV and the result was close to 300 people trying to run the race and even a few drunken spectators – impressive at 9am. The…

Sunday 15th March was a busy day for the club, with the St Anne's 10 mile, Trafford 10k, and (for the up and coming marathoners) the Trimpell 20 mile event, held in Morecombe. Vicky, Sue, Gareth, Soraya and Kasey all took part and the results (from the UK Results web-site)…
15th March 2009 A very strong field made the most of the flat course and almost perfect conditions. Won in 29 minutes; the first 30 running under 32 minutes – it sounds like one of Ray Eagle’s races from the glory days. One of these 30 was Damian who…
A fast out and back course. Reached the 5 mile mark in 34:20 so sub 70 looked possible – for the first time since 2007! Rounding the windmill a stiff sea breeze suddenly changed the conditions. Well organised race with free pie and peas back at the fire station + extensive…

The Stafford 20 seemed a good tester for London – an established race, well organised, a challenging distance, and about the right timing with 7 weeks still to hone the performance before the marathon proper. All this turned out to be true, but the race had a few other features…
Malcolm, Sue and I made the hallowed trip to Nottingham's Wollaton Park to mix it with the country's best at the Inter Counties. To those who don't know, the event involves each county in the UK sending 9 of their best athletes, so just to get picked is a real honour.…
7th March 2009 Stuart continued his surge in form with a great win and a new course PB. He is inching towards the sub-17 club but like a russian pole vaulter he is making the most of every increment. The whole Parrott family ran and 3 out of 4 PB'd. …
