  • Weekly Round Up – 25th June 2018

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runners played host to the annual Gate Gallop Charity Event last weekend helping to raise funds for St Giles Hospice. The event, which is also part of the BDSL Summer league, has the main 10k Trail race plus mini races and lots of other activities and this year was blessed with some glorious weather which was not given the thumbs up by all the runners.

    Many of the club members were on volunteering duties on the day ranging from on course marshalling to selling tea & cakes but there were still a few that managed to get a run out in the main event and it was Ashley Baldwin who was the first Peel Road Runner back to Anker Valley playing fields as he crossed the finish line in 4th place overall and 1st in his age category with his excellent time of 37:36mins. Simon O’Reilly & Michael Shelton were the next two male finishers with their times of 44:38mins (a new PB for Simon) & 45:17mins respectively. Other male finishers included Richard Finnigan (53:29mins), Simon Gordon (53:47mins), Chris Taylor (1:00:48hrs), Pete Seedhouse – who managed to run it this year as an entrant as opposed to organiser (1:10:21hrs) & Darren Keenan (1:13:01hrs).

    For the Peel Road Runner female runners, it was Emma Pick who just about scrambled around the course in a time of 44:18mins to finish as the first club female finisher and the 2nd placed female runner on the day. Behind Emma was Lisa Jones-Bignell with her time of 48:25mins and 3rd best female in her age category. Other female finishers on the day were Sophie Galloway (58:44mins), Caroline Evans (1:11:53hrs), Moira Twiggs (1:15:11hrs), Chris Keenan (1:15:17hrs), Alison Dolphin (1:20:28hrs) and Christine Norris (1:25:20hrs).

    With most of the club focus on setting up for the Gate Gallop the following day, it was a quieter than usual Saturday morning Parkrun schedule for the club runners, however, some still managed to get in their weekly free 5k timed run. Andrew Pickard was running at the Concord Parkrun in Sheffield and he finished with a time of 21:16mins.

    Other runners were at Kingsbury Water Park for their 5k, including Robert Hirst with his time of 22:51mins – a new PB on his 99th Parkrun outing. Also Running Kingsbury were Stuart Hatton (25:02mins), Tim Mudd (25:07mins), Dave Fern (27:10mins), Ian Grigg (31:22mins) and Lisa Fletcher who was once again volunteering as the tail runner / walker.

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runner Robert ‘Bob’ Donovan closes in on his 100 Marathon goal after completing the Worcester Marathon on Sunday 20th May, making it now 87 marathons in total. In what were very hot conditions that are not ideal for long distance running, Bob clocked up a finishing time of 5:54:00hrs for his 26.2miles and now needs only 13 more to reach that 100 personal milestone target.

    For other Peel Road Runners, it was the usual Saturday morning Parkrun that got them lacing up the trainers for a little bit of (slightly) competitive running. Robert Hirst & Christine Norris travelled over to the Walsall Arboretum for their Parkrun and clocked up times of 25:08mins & 37:13mins respectively.

Carolyne Browne fished as the 23rd placed female overall with her time of 52:53mins (first placed female in her age category) with Val Lawson finishing as the 41st female finisher with her time of 58:12mins.

    Christie Rosser ran her first ever half marathon race distance at Market Bosworth at the weekend. In what were warm running conditions, Christie found the undulating course quite challenging at times and her keenness got the better of her and her starting pace proved to be quicker than she had anticipated. Grinding it out over the 13.1mile course, Christie managed a finishing time of 2:09:15hrs for her inaugural Half Marathon distance race.

    Running is the same event was Lisa Jones-Bignell who was less troubled by the elevations of the course and weather as she crossed through the finish line with a superb time of 1:51:57hrs for her 13.1miles.

    Another first was achieved at Market Drayton road race as Lisa Fletcher finally managed to get her hands on the Gingerbread Medal she’s been craving for as she finished the 10k course in a time of 59:51mins.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runner Darren Cotton was rubbing shoulders with Parkrun ‘royalty’ founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt OBE down in Richmond, Surrey at the London 10mile event. As Parkrun were co-hosting the event, Paul was invited down to sound the klaxon for the start of each of the race waves and even found time to run the event himself. On another undulating but very picturesque park course, Darren completed the 10miles in a time of 1:35:18hrs.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”913″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Alas poor Robert Donovan was back out clocking up more marathon miles last weekend as he participated in the Shakespeare Marathon in Stratford on Avon.

    Back to Parkrun and Peel Road Runners gathered at Kingsbury and Bedworth for their weekly free 5k run. Robert Hirst was running as the solo Peeler at Bedworth and ran 25:57min for his 93rd Parkrun outing.

    As usual it was Kingsbury where the Peelers gathered in numbers and Darren O’Leary lead the way home with his time of 21:26mins that gave him a 32nd place finisher spot on the day and clocked up his 150th Parkrun. Behind Darren was Phil Neale who ran a 22:43mins race for his Parkrun number 25. Richard Finnegan finished on 23:00mins to knock 30secs off his previous best 5k Parkrun time.

  • Weekly Round Up – 9th May 2018

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runners made the most of the glorious sunny weather on the weekend of the 5th / 6th May with members running in events at both Uttoxeter & Birmingham City Centre.

    It was the Uttoxeter Half Marathon on Sunday 6th May with a handful of Peelers making the start line. Hot conditions mixed with a rather hilly course made it a tough day for running outside and it was Trevor Thompson who was the first Peel Road Runner to cross the finish line with his time of 1:50:27hrs and in 103rd place overall. Behind Trevor was Malcolm Bembridge with his time of 1:50:36hrs with the third team member Darren Truman finishing with a time of 2:02:34hrs. For the Peel Road Runners women’s team, it was Sandra Ingram first back across the finish line with her time of 2:16:42hrs with Emma Livingstone a little further back with her finish time of 2:28:43hrs. Unfortunately, neither team fielded enough runners on the day to count in the team results.

    On the same day it was the Great Birmingham 10k run around the City Centre streets. A duo of Peelers entered and enjoyed each other’s company around the course and crossed the finish line together but it was Lisa Fletcher who clocked up the quicker time finishing 1 second ahead of Stella Martin with times of 1:33:55hrs & 1:33:56hrs respectively.

    It was business as usual for the Parkrunners with Peel Road Runners attending Kingsbury / Conkers / Northallerton for their morning 5k run.

    Robert Hirst was the sole member at Conkers and ran a 25:31min for his 5k with another sole entrant at Northallerton, Michael Stevenson notching up a time of 29:07mins for his 5k.

    As usual it was a much better turn out at Kingsbury Water Park with 7 team members turning out, including some PB runs!

    Martin Hollamby lead the team home with his time of 21:09mins ahead of Stuart Hatton who finished with his time of 26:19mins. George Hope wasn’t far behind Stuart with his time of 26:46mins, followed by Adam Chyla 27:17mins (a new PB by 8 secs), Sophie Galloway 27:57mins, Lisa Fletcher 29:25mins and Mick Cooper with his new PB time of 29:45mins.

The results leave the womens team also in 4th place overall.

    Last weekend was also the date for the re-arranged Stafford Half Marathon which saw Peelers breaking ducks and setting new Personal Best times. The previous cancellation due to the weather conditions allowed a little extra preparation time for the participants. Running her first (and last?) ever H/M was Emma Pick who made best use of the extra time to break her 13.2mile duck and finish with a time of 1:39:42hrs. Carolyne Browne also ran at Stafford and was the first Peeler to set a new PB on the day with her time of 1:56:40hrs.

He completed the 26.2 miles in a time of 5:04:14hrs.

    With other events / races taking place over the weekend it was a smaller than usual turnout for the Peel Road Runners at Kingsbury Water Park for the Saturday morning 5k Parkrun.
