Paul’s parkrun report
20 Striders took a trip to the Hamsterley Forest parkrun on Saturday. It was chosen as one of the club league events for 2023. Suzanne Brodie and Martin Greensitt are the experts for the parkrun - and were on hand to provide us with advice and a course description. It's ranked as one of the toughest parkruns in the UK and with good reason. The first half is a seemingly never-ending climb to the highest point - before a descent back to the finish. There were warnings of rocks and tree roots to fill us with even more trepidation - and then we were off. The first few hundred metres are about the only flat section of the course and I was hoping to enjoy this brief respite from the…
Tonight’s pub run

Summer pub run – 27 July
Tomorrow’s summer pub run is open for booking. It’s approximately 5km all inclusive with drink stops and the option to cut shorter if desired. Meet at the club usual time and pray for summer weather. We’re going to pubs that we can sit inside if the weather doesn’t play nicely. Book on GymCatch.

Paul’s parkrun report
It was gloomy conditions and a wet course for the 10 Striders at Wynyard on Saturday. However, this didn't affect Emma Fleming as she achieved a 70%+ age-grading, got a new pb, and was first lady to finish. Aaron Atkinson also pb'd. Elsewhere, Keran Hodgson got an all-course parkrun pb at Herrington Country. Nice one Keran. Paul Drake got another all-course pb at Hartlepool where Steve Cotton recorded a 70%+ a-g. Glenn Cooper got a 70%+ a-g at Albert. John Wilson pb'd at Sedgefield. Angela Cox did the inaugural parkrun at Ashington Community Woodland. Striders too at Mile End (London), Stewart, Crichton (Dumfries), Leazes and Denton Dene. I was looking at recent results on the North East Races website and saw that there were a few Striders who have been…
