Autumn Relays 08/10/08

-
That time of the year again and the Blyth Running clubs annual Autumn Relays at the Kitty Brewster industrial estate.3 on a team of different ability.Our team was in effect out of it after leg1 but i really gave 100% and managed 12.19 for the 2.35 mile course which worked out at 5.14 ave per mile.This really was quite encouraging and gives me hope for the spell of winter speed training i intend to do after the Marathon.It was the 2nd quickest on the night and although some of the older members of the club always go on about the past glorys i believe Paul Whalley,Ash Henderson or my self will beat the relay fastest leg time of 11.42 by Andy Brown.

Great North Run

-
At yesterdays Great north run i enjoyed the day but my time was disapointing 1.17.44 which although its the quickest ive done in 2008 it was a pb i was after.The course itself is in my opinion not a pb course with all them inclines.It was great however that me and Paul Whalley from Blyth RC both finished in the top 100 and Dave Kirkland finally done his sub 2.30 target at the Loch Ness Marathon.

Guisborough moors

Today i ran the guisborough moors fell race in near still cold conditions.This was my first 10+ miler for a while and a good distance test before next saturdays Anniversary Waltz.I finished 7th in 1.33.25 which was up from 13th but only 30 seconds quicker than 2007.Howeverthe ground was a lot boggier and i was reasonably pleased with my climbing today.Also made the decision to Run Amsterdam Marathon 2008 as i feel i can do sub 2.40.Really gutted to see the London Marathon having had to withdraw but feeling a lot more positive.

Noon Stone 01/03/08

Today i done the Noon Stone fell rce near Todmorden in Lancashire.This race is 2300ft and 9 miles of tough often trackless terrain and a 2 time English Championship Course.I managed to finish 14th of 213 runners and was really pleased with my climbing and also the way i tacckled the really boggy moor stretch between the unmarked route between the checkpoints.Havent found out my road clubs results in the North East Harrier League where a bad result could see them relegated but on a very good note my good friend from Blyth Running club Dave Kitching is out of hospital.
