Continuing the theme of recent weeks Wilford Hill fartlek; its seems to be doing some good even if it may not be fuly appreciated on the night. One or two of us took part in the North Mids league XC at Berry Hill Park yesterday. The field was so vast that, at the time of writing (7pm Sunday or 29 hours 5 mins after the start), the results are still not on their website. I will add our runners results here as and when.

Another fartlek 10 ish miles; maybe more on the WIlford route again to build on last week. Reformed Tuesday knitting club members welcome.

Training: Tuesday 24 Nov - Sunday 29 Nov 2009 Tuesday 24 Nov - 6:30pm Wilford Route for a 10 miler incorporating efforts. Sunday 29 November - 9am Papplewick. Meet at the Griffins Head PH Car Park for a 13.75M or 18M run around the forests of North Nottinghamshire. Worth checking who is around.

Is the literal translation into english of "Tai Chi" - "Knitting Club"? 10 miles fartlek this week - getting a little meaner. Last week it was Wilford Hill route; minded to do it again.

A few people are injured at the moment, we have had a surprisingly long period of injury free training so far. In the next couple of weeks we should be back to full strength (apart from those that will be going to the Tuesday Night knitting class at Lee Roseys Tea Shop).

Race Results Birmingham 1/2M - Sunday 11th October, 2009 14th - Matt Clapp - 1:15:05 (chip) - 1:15:06 (gun) I can't tell which Richard is RV-H in the results as the organisers have seen fit to only list first names in the results!!!!!!!!!! Apparently he ran ~1:35 - well done lad. World 1/2M Champs This is what a 66min 1/2M looks like. They were going well quick! Ritz was flying - finished 3rd in 60min flat, but Tadesse had just dropped these guys and was absolutely flying. 59 min pace looks absurdly fast. Full elite results .

Fantastic weather for the weekend and Great accommodation at the Old Dungeon Ghyll promised that this weekend would be a good one! Choosing trail shoes for a slimy wet course was a mistake. The start from the hotel saw 400 runners jostling like sheep in a trailer for the first mile until the sharp climb to Pavey Arc. Elbows were everywhere on the ascent. Soon after Pavey Arc runners could be seen dancing across the bog on the top of the hill. When I got there my first step ended with me in a hole up to my armpits - just a head sticking out. I was more embarrassed than concerned. No-one helped me out choosing to laugh instead. Sliding around on greasy rock and wading through bogs for the next 7 miles brought me to Crinkle Crags and I followed all the crinkles on the ridge route. It was then, I saw emerging from the mist below me a snake of sleek runners zooming off into the distance ahead of me. Another descent and ascent to Pike of Blisco and a greasy slide down the rocks in my sleek t...

The usual 9 ish miles fartlek. Probably all on road now.
