Thursday 14 March training sessions

Training

Morning Striders! There’s no formal sessions tonight as it’s our Comic Relief fundraiser. ?? It’s a fun, all inclusive, team based event. Don’t worry about finding a team - we’ll be sorting these. In addition to the usual £1 subs (which will be donated to Comic Relief) please bring an extra £1.25 for your very own red nose - which it’s mandatory to wear throughout the session. ?? Please also wear red! We’ll be having a blind card (so you might want to bring some extra money) and short quiz after the running bit so please join us for this, plus free tea and coffee, afterwards. If any budding bakers would like to knock up some cakes these would be very greatly received. ?? Big thanks to Lucy for organising…

Parkrun – 9 March 2019

Run reports

The sleet and cold didn't put off Aaron Atkinson, Kris Allen and Andrew Hall on Saturday - with all three recording new pb's at the barrage. Lucy Owens did likewise, taking an impressive 36 seconds off her previous best time. David M, Viv, Sue and Adam all volunteered. Dave Fender...well, you've probably guessed... Elsewhere there were pb's for Rachel Boddy at Sedgefield, Debbie Edwards at Stewart Park and Ben Pettit at Flatts Lane. Lisa Molus was third female finisher at Hull. Fiona Shaw attended what looked like a very crowded parkrun at Bushy - whilst Joseph and Michelle Staton crossed the Irish sea to do the Ormeau event in Belfast. There was a notable milestone at the barrage where Lisa and Jason Pattison completed their 100th parkrun. A celebratory breakfast…

Parkrun 2 March 2019

Run reports

We'll begin at the barrage, where I must first apologise to Michelle Hart. Michelle was 3rd female finisher last week - something I completely missed. Did that mean it was the first ever Striders 1,2,3 for the ladies at the barrage? I don't think the men have ever achieved that at the barrage. Occasionally I will miss a placing, pb or landmark, so please let me know if I do, and it'll go in the following report. I don't know what the Corvesor's ate for breakfast, but it obviously gave them a boost, as John and Fran both got new pb's. Sarah Winter was 3rd female finisher and I notched 2nd for the men. Gareth, Jason and Julia volunteered. Dave Fender failed his fitness test and didn't run. The only…

parkrun 23 February 2019 by Paul J

Run reports

There's a lot to report this week, so without further ado, we'll begin at a chilly Hackworth. 20 Striders made the trip west for what was designated a club league event. Suzanne Brodie and Andy Laverick patiently explained the course to various people before the start. It included an odd route through a children's play area. From above it must have looked like a giant game of human 'pac-man' with people doubling back and forth. The lure of valuable points spurred Gavin Morley, Tony Gallilee, Katie Abel, Andy and Suzanne to new pb's. Katie and Liz Simpson imagined they were being chased by ghosts to pac-man their way to 2nd and 3rd female finisher. Me and Tom Day likewise for the men. It was an enjoyable morning and it's always…
