Janie in Washington
Well done to Janie for her 5km in Washington – completed in 28 minutes in 30 degree heat and 100% humidity (don’t think I would have fancied that!). Janie’s team (family and friends from over the world) raised over $7,000 for brain cancer research.
More info on the race can be found at http://www.principessaisabella.blogspot.com/.
(Runner blog post) Free yoghurt and fun in Shropshire
The Muller 10km in Market Drayton in Shropshire was my first race actually wearing my Clapham Runners shirt. I took both the long sleeved and the short sleeved ones to Shropshire because I was determined to wear our colours in a race and I didn’t know what the weather would be like. It was actually a short sleeved day. This was better news for wouldbe barbequers that it was for me. I haven’t done much training in the sun. Admittedly, since the weather has got a bit better, my training outside of the Thursday sessions has been somewhat patchy. Still, as the race was organised by Muller I’d probably get a free yoghurt at the end and so it wasn’t going to be all bad! Read more
(Runner blog post) Laura’s Race Report
Hello all. Thanks for coming out to support us today. It was fantastic seeing you all — twice!
I suppose I stuck to my race plan in that I tried to run with the 9 minute mile pacer for at least the first half and then see how it was going. This proved difficult as it was very crowded and I don’t think she actually hit the spilts for that pace until about mile 18. Struggled to dart in and out of people to keep her in sight more well. Having said that the pace felt faster than I expected — which was probably a combination of the heat and my not being that fit, having done my training runs very slowly. Read more
