Team Blizard Race Report
We have a very international flavour to our race report for you this week but more about that later as we take a community round up of the last week and celebrate another great week of racing.
Kicking off the report we head straight off-road on Saturday and up the A1 to Sedgefield where it was the National cross country championships which for many is the highlight of the cross country calendar.
Training partner to many of you and Worksop Harrier Captain Tom Shaw had a fine run cutting through the field and this was after stopping off on the way up to do the Darlington Park run!
A special mention needs to go to Bill Taylor and his team of athletes from Newark.
Newark is hardly a town or club that springs to mind as an area of excellence in distance running but quietly Bill and his team have been building a great group of athletes both men and women who he bring to the clinic for regular testing and this was rewarded on Saturday where the Men’s team took 5th place overall in the English championships which is a fantastic achievement and well done to all those who raced to make this happen.
Our report now takes an international feel as firstly we take the short hop over into Spain where sunny conditions greeted the runners in the Alicante 10k and half marathon.
Long time supporter of the clinic Paul Massey showed a welcome return to racing in the 10k and Tamara Hazelhurst had a fine run in the half marathon.
A little more glamorous setting of Las Vegas was the next scene for the next set of results as the “Rock and Roll” series which includes live bands on route, cheerleaders and themed water stations to name a few of the entertainments on offer in these races.
Part of our community Mary Davies, Matt Whitewood with his wife Sam all took part in the half marathon event as Matt certainly “rocked” the Team Blizard race vest with all everyone running really well in hot conditions.
Lee Davies any other week might had “won” Run of the Week for his 2nd place in the 5k event that had over 4000 runners taking part in and it was good to see him smashing it and credit to his and their coach Sam who has got them all in great shape for the races.
Our final race of the week to report from was the less glamorous but much closer Snake Lane 10 mile race held in East Yorkshire.
It was pbs all around for many of the team in this popular race that always produces good times.
There were eye catching performances from:
Shaun Yates massive pb
Maksims Palciks massive pb
Sarah Hunter 2nd lady overall
Will Sykes return to racing and new pb
Madeline Stansfield 3rd V70
Portugal bound athletes Andy Hopper and Mike Skelton to name just a few of the runners that took part but well done to all of you as if we listed everyone who ran it would be like reading a telephone directory!
However, each week we award an athlete the title of “Run of the Week”.
This is for what we consider an outstanding performance and this week it goes to Clowne Road Runner Peter ( Twiggy ) Twigg.
Twiggy came for his first lactate test way back in 2015 and has been an integral member of the training group ever since.
On Wednesday night’s speed session he spoke to Coach Tune about how he should approach the race and between them a race plan was formulated.
Needless to say Twiggy nailed it to record his fastest 10 mile race since 2016 and earn this week's award for his continual commitment to his running and the training group as he always the first one to help others in a session and help take control of a group pacing.
As always thanks to everyone who sent in their results and long may this great form continue.
Until next week…….keep training!

Massive well done to all those who have “spun” the treadmill this week ( sorry to those who I missed ).

Some new clients, some more established and then some longer term tests like Sarah who has been using heart rate training since 2013 and yet we still find ways to keep moving forward and improving.

Great to work with motivated individuals who want to be the very best version of themselves....onto next week!

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again as we suffer another week of terrible weather it is a good job that the results from the Team Blizard community have contributed to a bit of sunshine!
Kicking the week off he head over to Northern Ireland to the Armagh International road races which are held just outside Belfast and always attract a super fast field to race round the town square.
This year was no acceptation and we saw a great run from coached athlete Alice Fearn who ran in the ladies 3k race.
Moving up very slightly in distance several of you raced the ever popular York 5k series on the cycle track on the Friday evening and a couple of the eye catching results to mention came from Rotherham Harriers athlete Rob Watkinson and coached athlete Sarah Hunter who both ran very well in poor conditions.
Changing surfaces to cross country and there was another fine display from Worksop Harrier Tom Shaw as he took the overall win in the latest round of the local cross country league and sets him up well for the National cross country championships this coming Saturday.
There were several athletes running abroad this week with races in both Barcelona ( half marathon ) and the full distance in Seville where we were treated to a photo finish in the Men’s international race!
More locally many of you use the Stamford 30k as a training run/race in the build up to spring marathons but as the point of press no results are available.
Nearer to home we saw the Wombwell 5 mile road race that incorporated the go kart track as well as a big hill!
Well done to all that raced it and a special mention to both Toby Bellis and Lydia Race who had impressive runs to name just two.
Team Blizard representation spread far and wide and long time training partner to many of you Jacob Clark made the long trip down to London to run in the Battersea Park 10k and gave an excellent account of himself before rushing back to do a long run with the Team on Sunday morning!
However, each week we like to pick what we feel is the standout performance and dub it “Run of the Week” and this time around it goes to a London based coached athlete in Alex Makula who raced the London based Valentine’s 10k event.
After serious illness Alex has batted back to full fitness and it is great to see him run his 2nd faster 10k ever this Sunday.
As always many thanks to all of you who emailed in your results and a massive well done to everyone who raced and until next week…….keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again we have another week to celebrate the achievements of the community as they have raced over a variety of distances and surfaces over the last 7 days.
Saturday kicked off the action down at Loughboro with the BUCS cross country championships.
This year it was held in the grounds of Charnwood college that provided an excellent venue albeit very muddy in places.
In the Ladies Long race we had London marathon bound Romany Tune put in a fine performance in her last ever championships while recent lactate test Jess Dover ran well representing her university of York.
Staying offf road Saturday also provided over in Hull the Ultra Backyard event where coached athlete John Podgornyi was part of the winning team and also posted the fastest lap of the day.
Sunday’s local cross country league at Clowne saw Worksop Harrier Tom Shaw take the overall win and well done to all those who ran in it as there are too many to mention!
A little further away in Warwick saw another coached athlete in Mark Trolley from North Derbyshire club pb in the half marathon…well done that man.
The final race to report from is the ever popular Dewsbury 10k road race.
This event has been a favourite in many people’s diary for many years due to the fast nature of the out and back course and this year once again the event delivered.
There really were too many from the community running to mention everyone because the list of runners would be as long as a giraffe neck!
We will however attempt to mention one or two of the eye catchers from the race:
The simple one to start with is the “North Derbyshire massive” where Shaun,Abi,Bev,Ann,Wayne,Matt to name a few all smashed it and ran pbs!
More coached athletes in Jamie,Aaron,Nick,Maks,Rich,Joe and Paul again were on the pb list to add their names to the roll of honour.
A special mention goes out to Trish Jackman and her coach Bill who support the clinic via testing as Trish ran a superb race to take the overall ladies win.
However, each week we like to name a “Run of the Week” where an individual posts a performance that we think is special for a variety of reasons.
This week that title goes to Richard Burke of Ackworth Road Runners who smashed his 10k pb and went under that magical 40mins barrier for the first time.
A massive well done to everyone who raced and thank you to everyone who sent in their results as it really helps us pull everything together.
Until next week………keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
The weather might have been a bit rubbish recently but the performances that the Team Blizard community are nothing short of “red hot”!
With many of the guys taking part in our 1st Blizard Marathon we only have a select few races this weekend but what we lack in numbers was more than made up with quality.
The first race to mention was the Midland Cross Country championships held at Mallory Park in heavy conditions.
A big mention to Bill Taylor who is a great supporter of the clinic with his athletes who come in for testing.
The Newark Men’s team retained their Midland title taking the 1st team prize and there was an excellent 4th position overall in the Ladies race from Trish Jackman….well done Bill great work.
In the very same event Portugal bound Coach Marti showed her fitness is coming along well as she powered through the mud in a very tough course!
A little nearer to home held on the undulating loop from Skidby Mill near Hull was the old established Ferriby 10 mile road race.
This race was first run in 1957 and some past winners of the race have been Brendan Foster and our very own Coach Tune ( albeit on the old course ) and Jenny who was only recently dethroned as course record holder by 1 second!
Once again it was a sell out event and the undulations in the first half were met by a strong head wind in the second half to contend with!
That said we still saw some excellent performances from a man in form Danny James who took 2nd place overall, while a massive new personal bests from coached athletes Tom Whitley, Olly Sizer, Dean Thomas and Tamara Hazlehurst to name just a few of the many of you who ran in this excellent event.
The final race to report from was at the seaside in the Curly’s Athletes Skegness 10k.
Friday night class regular attendee David Bulter showed all that strength work is paying off as he took 2nd place overall in the V70 age group as we prepare for a spring marathon.
However, this weeks “Run of the Week” goes to a lady in form in Anna Thompson who followed up her fine run in the Folkswoth 15 recently with the V60 ladies win and take the title this week!
Massive well done to everyone who raced and sent in their results as it really helps.
We have another massive weekend coming up with the Dewsbury 10k next Sunday but until then…..keep training!
