Team Blizard Race Report
Once again it is that time of the week for the Team Blizard race report.
We have a variety of distances, surfaces to report from where the running community who have raced over the last 7 days.
Kicking things off, we start with the West Yorkshire Cross-Country League at Thornes Park in Wakefield, where long-term supporter of the clinic Susie Hinchcliffe continued on her return to form with a fine run.
Same surface, but different league, the tough Pen*ston Cross-Country was the next round of the South Yorkshire Cross-Country League, similar to the West Yorkshire, where again, so many of you were racing. Great runs to note were from Adele Marsden and the Davies duo of Lee and young wolf Lucas, both running well on the undulating course.
Another off-road race to consider is the Heanor Trail Race, where North Derbyshire coached athlete Matt Taylor gave a good account of himself as his good form continues.
A long way further south on the South Coast saw the Brighton 10k take place, which also doubled up as an age-group qualifying match. There were both good runs from North Derbyshire athlete Beth Warwick and Madeleine Stansfield from Leeds, as both had an excellent race.
The final race to report from was a little nearer home was the Derby 10 mile road race, where the trio from Workshop Harriers of Tom Shaw, Lucy Binch and Tamara Hazlehurst all ran exceptionally well, with Tamara and Lucy running new personal bests.
Each week we have a “Run of the Week" accolade, and this week within that Derby 10 mile road race, it goes to Clowne roadrunner Malcolm Stapleton, who ran his fastest 10 mile race since 2014. Yes, you heard it correctly, and Malc took a podium position in the V60 age category
A massive well done to everybody who raced, and thank you to those who sent their results in, it really does allow us to compile this race report. Until next week…………keep training.

Team Blizard Race Report

Welcome to another action-packed race report from the Team Blizard community where results up and down the country on a variety of distances and surfaces have one common theme and that is excellence running through it.
Kicking off the week, on Saturday we had the ever popular No Walk in the Park 5k at Chesterfield where coached athletes Mark Trolley and Bev Warwick both ran excellent races with Bev's a preparation for the Brighton 10k this weekend.
Staying with the Saturday theme, it was the next round of the Cross Country League for the North Midlands where Worksop harrier Tom Shaw once again gave a sterling performance.
On a cake theme, over in Lincolnshire, it was the Mallard Cake Dash where Anna Thompson, a regular on our Friday night class, had her last race in 55-59 category before moving up and came an excellent 2nd place.
Working into 10k races now, the ever popular Dalby Dash was used as a GP race for Ackworth AC and three athletes who are in our community all ran well with Maksim Palciks heading the field, followed by Richard Ward close behind and an excellent run by Richard Burke. Also, Andy Hopper from Scarborough made the short journey across to run well in the event.
Closer to home, we saw the Gainsborough 10k and half marathon. In the 10k, first home from the community was Shane Grace who is lining up the Valencia marathon in a couple of weeks. He was chased home by Cleethorpes athlete in fine form Spencer Higgins as well as Mike Skelton, Mark Chapman and Portugal attendee Rob Milner running a personal best.
In the same race, there was also the half marathon and once again that training partner to many of you Matt Wroe produced another personal best. This was backed up by Peter Twigg of Clowne, Reuben Brooks running a massive PB and great runs from both Angela Lally and the Pinkbird Dawn.
Each week we have a “Run of the Week” and this week it goes to Jonathan Barnett who took the V60 half marathon title but also ran a personal best within the race.
Congratulations to everybody who raced and sorry if we missed any of you and a massive thank you to all those who sent their results in as it really helps us pull it all together.
The results just keep rolling in and until next week………… keep training.

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again, we have an action-packed race report for you from a variety of distances and surfaces up and down the country and further afield for you to celebrate some excellent performances.
We kick off the report with two off-road races that took place over the weekend, the first being on Saturday the National Cross-Country Relays at Mansfield, where so many of you were representing your club in this annual fixture that has been going for many years. There were far too many to individualise each person, so a massive well done to everybody who ran, and a special mention to Bill Taylor's training group from Newark AC, whose men's team ran a very impressive 5th place overall.
The next off-road race is the next round of the KMRC Canal Race near Rotherham, where again, many of the local athletes took part in this popular event.
Another trail race, this time that took place on Sunday, was the Guy Fawkes 10-mile trail race, where coached athletes Madeleine Stansfield and Richard Burke utilised the race as part of their training, and a big shout out to regular training partner over many years for many of you in Jacob Clark, who ran an excellent 6th place in the men's field overall, sporting a very smart Team Blizard vest.
Staying on the road, there was a couple of 10k road races for us to report from, where the undulating Deepdale Dash over in Barton-upon-Humber took place, where many of you ran in, and a special shout out to Scott Burrell, who finished 5th in the Southwall 10k, which ended up almost being like a cross-country race because of the rain!
The final race to report from is over the pond in the New York Marathon, where Anthony Corcoran ran an excellent 3 hours 20, while coached athletes Steve Geraghty and Sarah Sanderson both gave excellent performances, with Steve running a highly creditable 2.46hrs on the undulating course, and Sarah completing her 2nd American Marathon in 2 weeks, making the Chicago and New York Marathons back-to-back her goal for the year.
Each week we give a “Run of the Week” award to, and this week it goes to Jimmy Hanrahan, who ran a fantastic new personal best of 2 hours 41minutes to just sneak inside the top 500 places in this iconic race.
Jimmy does nearly all of his training on his own, and is fairly new to running, so to run such a fantastic time is really incredible.
Congratulations to everybody who raced this weekend, and sorry if we missed anybody out. Thank you for all those who sent their reports in, it really does help...until next week..... keep training!
