Team Blizard Race Report
With many of the Team down in London at the weekend for the Diamond League it was ironic that some of the performances we have seen this last week have been "sparkling" so sit back and enjoy!
The week started off on Tuesday when Sheffield athlete Seth Kirby made a belated track debut over in Manchester in the Trafford 3k and set an excellent season opener.
Staying on the track Friday night saw the Sheffield Olympics which was a fun event where many of you took the opportunity to try out some track races when usually us distance runners do not always get the chance and the eye catching performance came from coached athlete Becky Friar with a super fast 400m effort!
Moving off road to the Bishop Beast trail race saw Madeleine Standfield take the ladies V70 win on this tough, hilly course.
A man in form currently is Worksop Harrier Tom Shaw who once again put in an excellent run in the Summer League road race on home turf.
We saw a good turnout once again in the NWITP 5K race with Sarah Sanderson running well and working on her speed before entering into marathon mode for Chicago in a few months time.
There was an excellent return to form for coached athlete Paul Yates in the Nostell Priorty 10k mid week which saw him take 5th place overall in this undulating course.
The ever popular Hardwick 10k in Derbyshire although very hilly was well supported and the North Derbyshire coached duo of Matt Taylor and Bev Warwick but enjoyed good runs.
The Laxton 10k was another flat and fast race which the team enjoyed racing at and pick of the crop and taking the overall race win as a training session was rising star Freddie Fearn while keeping it in the family mum Tracey took the ladies V55 win and these efforts were backed up with excellent runs from Emma Smith,Aaron Lowery, Lee Davies and a brand new personal best from recent lactate tester Matt Whitewood.
The final race to report from and the one that takes this week’s “Run of the Week” goes to coached athlete in Toby Bellis who not only took part in the Grim Up North 10k but managed to take the overall win in his first ever race victory to earn this week’s title!
Massive well done to everyone who raced and as always thank you to all those who took the time to send in your results as these really help us.
Until next week………keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
In another week of very hot conditions the action in the races this last week matched that of the weather as it was…red hot!
Many thanks to all those who took the time to send in their individual results which we really appreciate as there are so many of you racing up and down the country each week to keep track of you all!
Massive well done to all those who raced and let’s try and do a re-cap of who did what on a variety of surfaces and distances!
The were several mid week races taking place this weekend and one that seems to be gaining in popularity was the Sheffield Relays held on the Loxley Lash circuit where so many of you took part in a variety of distances so a massive well done to you all as it is impossible to mention everyone as there was so many of you!
The long standing Spencer Arms Dash was another race that was well attended from Team Blizard and sadly with recent hosing developments it is not clear how much longer this long established fixture will continue for but well done to all those you raced.
The Barlow nearly 10k was a race where many of the North Derbyshire running club members who very kindly support the clinic ran in and we saw an eye catching run from Matt Taylor as the perfect run before he commences marathon mode again!
The very hot weather saw running conditioning on Friday night for this month’s round of the York 5k very tough but a man in form and producing another great run was coached athlete Richard Burke who took the V50 3rd place in a very good time despite the conditions.
Staying with the same distance but jumping onto a different surface we saw another excellent run and win in a track 5000m from Worksop Harrier Tom Shaw as his good form continues.
The Ilkley half marathon and 5k took place on Sunday and there was a great run from Tim Watkiss in the 5k while having to suffer the hot weather in the half marathon we still saw great performances from Jamie Baker,Mark Bly and Portugal attendees Jo and Richard Burke making light work of the hot conditions after their acclimation earlier in the year!
The Sting Challenge over in Caistor saw Dean Thomas carry on his good form in this hilly event which he made light work of and his success earlier in the year at the marathon has certainly helped.
The super fast Wilmslow 10k saw Cleethorpes athlete Mike Skelton notch another great performance as his good form continues.
Vitoria in Spain was the scene for the Ironman triathlon and coached athlete Colin Storrar took an amazing 40 minutes off his previous best performance but vowed “never again” straight after! If anyone unsure how to celebrate Colin has included his picture of his refreshments straight after the race and yes both those drinks are his!
The final race to report from was the Newcastle half marathon run from the Newcastle Falcons rugby ground and part of the Run Through Events series.
Our very own Coach Tune traveled up for pacemaking duties for his daughter Romany who was targeting the race.
She managed with some excellent pace making taking 2nd lady place overall in a new personal best and winning this week’s title of “Run of the Week”!
A massive well done to everyone and let’s keep this excellent form going and it is great to see from everyone.
Until next week……keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
Massive well done to everyone who raced in the last week and there has been action up and down the country and beyond over a variety of surfaces so sit back and enjoy the read!
Kicking off the week we saw the Loxley Lash 5k series which is proving popular and we saw a great effort from Sheffield coached athlete Seth Kirby who was just using the race as hard training and finished very high up the field is a very respectable time!
Same distance, different cycle track over at Doncaster saw the latest round of the Danum Harrier’s Donfaster 5k.
Very windy weather greated the runners which also doubled at the Yorkshire Vet’s championship and with so many of you racing it is impossible to mention everyone so a big well done to all of you who battled the strong winds to record so very impressive times.
A little further a field saw another coached athlete in Freddie Fearn fly the Blizard flag while on holiday in Canada as he took part in a 10k road race and showed the Blizard vest travels well!
Moving into the weekend and we have a variety of races to report from the first being the off road trail event called the Rassleback Trail race where long time supporter of the clinic Brenda King used the race as part of her build up to a half marathon later in the year.
Dropping down distances onto the track saw Workspo athlete Tom Shaw run an excellent 3k on the track and set a new personal best.
The great day out of the Winterton show was the setting for their 10 mile event and taking the overall win in the race was Cleethorpes athlete Danny James and a fine 1st V60 win when to training partner to many of you Tracey Gibson in this great local race.
Same distance but different venue over in Leeds saw some great runs from the team in the very hilly Eccup 10 mile road race.
Coached athletes Shane Grane, Mark Chapman and Keri Pearson all took their respective age group win and a fine 3rd place overall from Keri in her first race since the London marathon.
A special mention needs to go to Susie Hinchcliffe in her first race back from illness and pinning a number on after 8 months away from racing takes some doing and she just misses out on the “Run of the Week”for her effort!
That award goes to North Derbyshire and another coached athlete In Ann Barker who competed in the Newcastle 10k which was also an England representation event.
Not only did Ann run the fastest time of the year but she also took 3rd place in the V60 age group and deserves this week’s title!
Thank you to all those who sent in their results and let’s keep this effort going everyone, until next week……keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again it is that time of the week when we attempt to do a round up of a selection of the results over the last week of racing and what a busy week it has been!
It is that time of the year when several mid week races take place and this week was exactly that where we had several of you all competing in races like Ulley Reservoir, Canal Relay where there was a victorious Worksop Harriers in the team event led by Captain Tom Shaw, Elmton Chase held by Clowne Road Runners to name just a few taking place. Well done to everyone who raced in any of these.
The Tidesdale 5k provided happy hunting ground for the inform Kevin Walker who’s good form continued as he took the overall win in this race.
Staying with the 5k event we also saw a fine effort on a very hot night from coached athlete Scott Burrell in the Battersea Park 5k.
A special mention needed to go over the same distance in an international race that took place in Benalmadena, Spain where back from injury saw an excellent 3rd place and podium position from another coached athlete in Shaun Yates.
Moving up in distance to 5 miles and we saw an excellent run from Sarah Sanderson as she took the V50 age group win and on the same day North Derbyshire athlete Abi Holloway pb in the half marathon version of the race which was some run in those hot conditions!
The Harrogate 10k had a good showing from Team Blizard as long time supporter of the clinic Jacob Clark came an excellent 5th place chased home by Jamie Baker fresh from his initial test some 8 weeks ago.
The final race to report from is the popular and ever growing Barnsley 10k.
Barnsley has a rich history in quality road races over the years and it is great to see this fixture return to the running calendar and be so well supported.
We had so many athletes running to mention everyone but there was a few eye catching performances and quality runs from Shaun Yates, Richard Ward and Matt Harvey to mention.
As always we like to try and pick a single performance we feel warrants “Run of the Week” and this week this title goes to Wayne Singleton who took the V40 win and 5th place overall.
Wayne is going from strength to strength with his running currently as is a great example what “older” athletes can do and well done to him!
Massive well done to everyone who raced and until next time…..keep training!
