Telford 10k, 24th January 2010

Monday, January 25th, 2010

David Priddy ventured north to the Telford 10k and entered the elite race for sub-40 runners, hoping he wouldn’t finish last. He at least justified the elite race entry with a 39:52 clocking and thankfully didn’t quite finish last. When the times for the elite and mass start races were combined the time was good enough for 80th overall.

After Adoption Hyde Park 10k – 15 November ‘09

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Bella Shah reports:

Just a note to say that I entered a 10k race in Hyde Park last Sunday 15th November. The charity was After Adoption and they had their first annual event with around 500 runners.

We were blessed with perfect weather and the run was very flat for most of the race and very scenic. It was nice to do a run with not huge numbers of runners.

I really enjoyed the run and it is only my second ever 10k race. The last one I did was in July 2008 - the BUPA CAPITAL run also in Hyde park which was my first race so it was nice to go back there just over a year on. My time last year was 1 hour and 15 seconds so I was pleased with my time of 57 minutes and 43 seconds - a PB.

Will definitely do this one again.

The Herbert Hole 10k(ish) – 15 November 2009

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Tom Durance reports:

For those of us not willing / able / man enough to do The Hell runner, The Herbert Hole 10k (and a bit) was a suitable substitute.

Held in The Chilterns, The ‘Herbert Hole’ is a picturesque valley in Chesham.  The distance was 10k and a bit and the relaxed attitude to the distance was reflected in the race - perfect for those of us coming back from injury.

The weather was horrific for 2 days leading up to the event but glorious on the day itself.

The route was hilly and very, very muddy ensuring by the end of it you were head to toe in mud.  Lovely!  Times were irrelevant, it was not a measured distance and half the time was spent on hands and knees crawling up hills or stuck in mud.  But recommended all the same…. 

DD runners were; Tom Durance, Elaine Culverwell and Julie Humphries.

Cros Popular de Sants 10k

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Simon Black reports from Barcelona:

7 euros… for a race, chip start and finish timing, a wicking t-shirt, hot chocolate, piece of cake, and closed road… The Cros Popular de Sants is an undulating 2 lap race around Barcelona which was in its 31st running with 1400 entrants and a lot of fit looking people around

Kathryn sped to a magnificent PB by over 1 ½ minutes and a first ever sub 50 10k. It just goes to show what the hill and mountains of Barcelona can do given zero speedwork and long runs over the past 4 months due to the heat. A particularly good run given it was very windy and a negative split by over 45 seconds.

Seems like the younger members of the Dashers are also getting quicker :-)

Yateley 10k series – 3 June 2009

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

This is the first race of the popular Yateley Road Race Series, ("Best Mid-Week Series" according to Runners World - I would plump for the Swansea Bay 5k series for the sea views but concede it’s a bit far!) consisting of three 10k road races, held on the first Wednesday of June, July and August.

Divided Dash 2009 - results

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

A huge thank you to everyone who dashed around Home Park tonight; 2.5k is a really difficult distance to get right, but there was some excellent racing and some very close finishes.

Our overall winners were team 4, consisting of Claude Autrey, Tsumi Smith, and Bella Shah who ran twice. Their handicapped time of 1:03:22 put them a scant 18s ahead of team 12.

The first team across the line in 41:00 was team 15, who were Sharon Helsby, Jo Logie, Charlotte Glazzard and Kanwal Madra.

The cheeriest cheerers were team 8; I could hear Paul Turnbull, Tom Durance, Saffron Sabine, and Melanie Golding from the cricket club bar!

Finally, the fastest runner once their handicap was taken into account was Rob Lane whose 15:29 placed him only 4s ahead of Bella Shah.

The average difference from my predicted time was 18s. Mel Elliot ran her exact predicted time, while only 8 people were more than 30s faster or slower than predicted.
