A second relay event inside eight days brought out another army of HRC runners as ten teams enjoyed a successful outing at the well-organised Belper Harriers-hosted Derwent River Relays. Despite not being part of the 2014 Club Championship, positive past experience of the event ensured a strong yellow and blue turnout just a week on […]
Lizzie Poole and Phil Baynes reached the Shipley Park Visitor Centre finish line first at the third HRC time trial of the summer. Twenty-one turned out for the anti-clockwise running of the 3 mile route and Lizzie’s time of 21:57 was the fastest female clocking of the evening. Tim Holling returned to clock 16:24 for […]
A fantastic turnout of eleven teams for the Hairy Helmet Relays last Friday night ensured the perfect summer conditions were matched with bright performances from those in yellow and blue as the men’s and women’s “A” teams made it a double-victory at Darley Park, Derby. The quartet of newly-crowned British Masters 5k champion Lisa Palmer […]

After doing something unpleasant to my right calf at the Ilkeston BDL, it was with more than the usual pre-race trepidation that I waited, along with Jo Potter and Ed Godber, for the starter’s horn. Happiest running on days that fall between 7 and 10 degrees C, the expected temperatures reaching the early 20s was […]
