29th April. My fifth trip to Mow Cop and third victory on the big hill, I also seemed to forget how much it hurts ! Tony once told me he felt like he was going to die , Mike Halman vowed never to return. The race was resurrected in 2005…
Alexandra Park 5k Sunday May 2nd. Alexandra is a three-lap Park 5k. In contrast to Thursday, it is pancake flat and, whilst theoretically much easier, the challenge of a 5k is that there is no time to ease yourself into a rhythm. I have run the course before, but not…

Goyt Valley 10k Thursday April 29th. Two years ago when Malcolm introduced this race it was in the middle of the monsoon season; August. The route took us through a bog, a real bog, the sort in which you felt a runner might disappear and never again be seen.…

24th April 2010 Stuart continued his fine run of form with another great run at the park – with the current crowds it is difficult to get near 17 minutes. Malcolm was "taking it easy" but didn't always give that impression as he stalked Stuart closely for most of the…
Some great times here but apologies to those I've missed, only about half our runners are listed under 'Wilmslow' Perhaps the runners can fill the gaps, as well as letting Charlotte have reports of the day, so that we have comprehensive results for the newsletter. Mike and Rob lowered the club…
17th April 2010 We ran a revised route which was just as well as a "perfect storm" of great weather, peak running season and 100th run celebrations meant we had over 400 runners on the start line. Matt Jackson started out at an amazing pace and looked on for something…
Whitley 10k Sunday April 18th. After a year in the wilderness, Whitley was now back into the Summer Series fold. These are strange times, the Icelandic volcano having brought a halt to flying, the first televised debate having opened-up all sorts of election possibilities and the weather. Its shift…
