More information is in the "About Us" section in the menu on the left.

lorraine writes "Peter Burns has been off on his travels again - to the Galway Marathon, this time accompanied by Penny C. Here's Peter's report (photos should be on the gallery soon):
Penny Clarke and I went over to Ireland over the Bank Holiday weekend to run the Galway Marathon on Sunday. The course must have been more difficult than it looked as I failed to break 5 hours for the first time in a few outings. The run (twice round a loop) took in Galway city, the seaside resort of Salthill and its view over Galway Bay and the Claddagh (stony beach).
We were both stressed out wondering whether we were ever going to get across the Irish Sea with the baggage handlers' dispute that threatened to close the airports. Thankfully, that was all resolved and we didn't have to fall back on Plan B to take the train to Holyhead and sail over to Dublin.
There was chip timing but there was a 7 second difference between that and my watch time. I have never known there to be more than a second difference before so I'm sticking with my watch time of 5:03:14 (official result (5:03:21) Penny lost a few minutes taking in the scenery and taking pics with her I-Phone. I think she completed in 5:17 but her official time is shown as 5:18:13. |

Mersea 5 & 10 Mile Results
|
|
lorraine writes "The Sunday before the August Bank Holiday Monday is always the date for the Mersea Island 5 and 10 mile races and this year we had entrants in both races. Chris Feasey and Tracey Denby tackled the single lap 5 mile race - Chris finished in 6th place in 31:49 and Tracey (in probably her first 5 mile road race) crossed the finish line in 50:12.
We had 6 runners in the 2 lap 10 mile race. Ross Silverton was the only Witham man in the race and he led the club home in 1:20:46. Next over the line for Witham was Tracie Bromboszcz in 1:33:02, closely followed by Debbie Lewis in 1:33:07. Mersea was Lynne Williams second 10 mile race (she made her debut at Gt Baddow) and Gemma Baker was making her 10 mile debut - Lynne finished in 1:46:17, with Gemma finishing soon after in 1:47:12. Naomi Emerick is in serious training for her next marathon so the 10 miles round Mersea were quite a short run for her and she finished in 1:56:11. Well done everybody. |

What Group should I run in on a Monday Night?
|
|
martynb writes "Having been asked by a couple of new members over the past couple of weeks and again at the Track last night I thought I would give the matter some thought based on the current Club Standard and 5k times.
We have 5 Groups at present with the majority of runners in the 3/4 bracket. We also have enough sub 20 runners to form a Group 1 every week. If not then ' The time to move Ups' should be encouraged to do so.
These are my thoughts with what Group I would expect members to run in.
It does mean that under this model Group 5 could potentially have a spread of runners who are 6 minutes apart over 5 k (29-35 minutes) which begs the question should there be a Group 6?
5K Time Achieved Time to move up
Group 1 - Sub 20 Sub 21
Group 2 - Sub 23 Sub 24
Group 3 - Sub 25 Sub 26
Group 4 - Sub 28 Sub 29
Group 5 - 29+
There will of course be times when members want an easier run and if this is the case then the 'informal arrangement' whereby they drop down but do not run at the front of that Group should be adopted!
Simple all sorted!!

5K TRACK CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP - RACE 5
|
|
martynb writes "A record turnout for a Track 5k with 30 members toeing the line on a near perfect evening for running.
On the stats front we had 5PBs and a Club Record set even if it was by a second!
The Men's race produced the closest ever finish with James having led for 11.5 laps being overtaken by Tom on the bottom corner with Alan gradually catching both in his comeback from injury run. Both first and second were rewarded with PBs.
Mark Williams PBs with every race and moves closer to the 20 minute mark. Other bests were achieved by Juniors Jonathan Hocken (who beat his Dad!) and Michael McKeown (who gets closer to his!).
For the Ladies no PBs but a Club Record for Brigid by a second. Apologies to Shirley Morris who I deprived of her last lap on her first outing so I have adjusted her time. Congratulations to Jemma Baker on her first 5k and in running a sub 30 having run the first 10.5 laps with Lyn and Jane.
Thanks to Ian for his support and to Mr Waring who ensured Alex ran the full 12.5!
