  • Weekly Round Up – 22nd January 2018

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runners Mens & Womens Cross Country teams were in action at Anslow for race #3 of the Derby Runners XC Winter League on January 14th, 2018.

    Conditions were very difficult on what turned out to be a VERY tough course but still there were some tremendous performances from both teams on the day.

    For the Womens race there were two elite ‘guest’ runners (twins who both run internationally for England) who blitzed the course and finished almost 4 ½ minutes ahead of the rest of the field. Those 2 runners aside, Peel Road Runners own ‘elite’ runner Emma Pick finished in 4th place overall with a superb run and finishing time of 35:38mins. Rachael Rickards was struck by an injury in the latter stages of the race but still ran an incredible end to the race to finish in 13th place with a time of 43:00min. Her heroic efforts led her to end up on crutches the following day with some bad swelling to her ankle. Sophie Galloway ran a very smart race too finishing as the third Peeler woman with an excellent time of 47:07mins ahead of team captain Sandra Ingram who crossed the line in 26th position with 49:18mins. A trio of Peelers finished together in 30th, 31st & 32nd places, Val Lawson (50:19mins), Helen Manton (50:37mins) and Annie Wilson (50:50mins) respectively. Caroline Evans completed the team performance in 40th position with her time of 58:02mins.
    This team effort placed the Peel Road Runner Womens XC team in =3rd position on the day sharing the points with Mickleover, however, they now sit top of the division in League 1, after three races, 2pts ahead of 2nd place Lichfield as they move towards race #4 in February.

    For the Peel Road Runner Mens XC team it was Robbie Baden who was once again the first team member to cross the finish line. Robbie finished in 4th place overall and a time of 30:48mins was just 3 secs off the 3rd place finisher on the day. Martin Hollamby finished in 11th place with his time of 32:35mins just ahead of Lee Rickards with his time of 33:18mins (14th position overall). Next to finish was Michael Shelton in 21st position with a time of 35:20mins just ahead of team mate Simon Smith who finished in 22nd position with his time of 36:05mins. Darren O’Leary crossed the line in 28th place with 37:20mins followed by Trevor Thompson (37th place) with his time of 38:56mins, Darren Truman (47th place) with 43:02mins and Phil Neale (53rd place) with 44:20mins completed the mens team performance.
    The mens team finished in 3rd place overall on the day and remain in 3rd place in the division after their 3 races so far, just 1 point behind South Derbyshire in 2nd place.

    As a combined team, the Peel Road Runners finished the day in 3rd place overall and lie in 2nd place in the division after 3 races. This is just 4 points behind Lichfield with 4 races of the season still to go.

    Peel Road Runners very own ‘Marathon Man’ Robert Donovan notched up yet another 26.2mile run on the 20th January running at the Holme Pierrepont 6-hour Challenge over in Nottingham. Bob finished his run in a time of 5:24:02hrs and in 95th position in what he described as “very cold and wet” conditions.

    Saturday 20th January was also the day for Parkrun event #231 over at Kingsbury Water Park and which saw a total field of 388 runners descend upon the local venue for the weekly 5k run.
    It was Simon Smith who was the first Peeler back through the finish tunnel with his time of 21:31mins and in 23rd position overall, just 4 places ahead of Darren O’Leary with his time of 22:05mins and 27th position overall. Phil Neale was next to finish with his time of 24:34mins in front of Dave Fern (25:20mins), Tim Mudd (25:26mins), Michael Shelton (25:42mins) & Allan Williams (25:55mins).
    Carolyne Browne was the first Peeler women to enter the finishing tunnel with her time of 26:06mins ahead of Annie Wilson who finished with a time of 37:29mins.

  • Weekly Round up – 15th January 2018

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runners would like to congratulate Ashley Baldwin who posted a new club record in his age category for the 10-mile distance race at the weekend. Ashely was running in the Sneyd Pudding Run, a local race which was originally set for December but was postponed due to the weather conditions on the day, and Ashley certainly reaped the benefits from the extra preparation time.

    Ashley finished in 3rd place overall around the two-lap 10 mile course with a blistering time of 57:48mins, breaking Carl Bakers previous record which had stood since 2001 and earning himself the much-deserved plaudits from his fellow club members both past and present.

    Also running at Sneyd was Garth Cox who showed he is also well on the way back from his recent injury setbacks finishing with a time of 1:26:46hrs.

    Bob Donovan travelled down to Gloucester last weekend to tick off yet another marathon and edge closer to his goal of completing 100 Marathons. Bob finished his latest 26.2 mile run in 238th position with a time of 5:14:14hrs.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”787″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runners were hoping to continue their recent excellent Cross Country form at race #3 in the Derby Runners XC Winter league last weekend. Early indications are there were some tremendous individual performances once again however final race results will be posted next week.

    Running solo for the Peelers at the Conkers Parkrun was Ashley Perks who’s well on the way back to his form of 2017 with a time of 24:31mins.

    Over at Kingsbury Water Parkrun it was Shaun Coyle who cross the finish as the first Peeler and rekindling his pre-Christmas form with a time of 22:34mins ahead of Stuart Hatton who ran a 24:08mins for his 5k back on the one lap winter route.

    Dave Fern was next to finish with 24:55mins followed by Allan Williams 25:19mins, George Hope (who had a close encounter with a gaggle of geese crossing the wooden footbridge 1.5km from the finish!) 26:37mins, Darren Cotton with 26:54mins and Michael Stevenson with 29:07mins.

    The Conkers Parkrun saw Ashley Baldwin finish in a magnificent 2nd place overall with a blistering time of 17:14mins, also a new PB to start off the New Year. Mike Shelton & Shaun Coyle kicked off their first of two 5k’s for the day with times of 21:24mins & 23:48mins respectively with Marie Llewellyn finishing just behind in 24:11mins.

  • Weekly round up – 2nd January 2018

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

    Derby/Staffs XC League

    Peel Road Runners Women’s Cross-Country team continued to enjoy success in their new winter league taking 1st, 2nd & 4th places in race number 2 held prior to Christmas.

    The race was held at Foremark Reservoir, the same venue as race number 1, but with the conditions under foot being very different due to the inclement weather at the time.

    Once again it was Emma Pick who was on excellent form on the day and crushed the rest of the field finishing in a time of 41:55mins, almost 2 minutes ahead of second place finisher Emma Birtles and the rest of the runners. Emma also improved her positioning from race 1 and crossed the line with a time of 43:43mins. Rachael Rickards put in a tremendous performance and was the third Peel member to cross the finish line in 4th place overall with a time of 46:12mins.

    The remaining team members all played their part in keeping the Peel Road Runners Women’s at the top of their division – Sophie Galloway (18th place) 55:06mins, Sandra Ingram (24th place) 58:45mins, Val Lawson (25th place) 58:59mins. The team tops the division by 3pts ahead of Lichfield, Washlands & Mickleover who all have 18pts.

    The Peel men were missing some key runners for race 2 but those that did run put in some terrific performances. Martin Hollamby was the first male Peeler across the finish line in 3rd place overall with a superb time of 36:31mins. Lee Rickards wasn’t too far behind with a time of 38:44mins and 11th place overall.

The men hadn’t managed to field the required number of individual entrants for the race and were penalised on the day under the rules.

    After two races, the men’s team tie on 19 points with South Derbyshire but lie in 3rd place overall on finishing position count.

    As a Club, the Peel Road Runners lie in 2nd place in the league just two points behind the leaders Lichfield.

    Marathon

    Peel Road Runner Bob Donovan had an eventful few days marathon running in Liverpool over the New Year period at the Liverbird Marathon event. Marathon number one was on the 31st Dec and Bob found the going physically tougher then he’s experienced to date and completed the 26.2miles in a time of 5:55:20hrs. Then on the following day – New Year’s Day – marathon number 2 of the event took place and the previous days troubles were just a sign of the problems to come for Bob. Sickness and an injury to his back saw Bob complete only one of the 6 mile laps before he had to sadly withdraw from the event.

    Parkrun

    The weather has also had an impact on the weekly Parkrun events held across the country with many events being cancelled. However, on the 23rd December many Peel Road Runners did manage to find somewhere to run. Michael Stevenson was running down in Basingstoke and managed a time of 29:06mins for his 5k. Allan Williams was up in the north west at Warrington with his running shoes and he managed a time of 27:21mins.

    Closer to home Helen Manton was at Conkers and managed a time of 28:57mins and the popular Kingsbury Water Parkrun drew in the most Peelers for that weekend.

    Ashley Baldwin finished as the 4th male and in 6th place overall with his quick time of 17:33mins. Lee Rickards wasn’t far behind with his time of 19:07mins and 12th place overall.

    The next Peeler to finish was Martin Hollamby with a time of 19:37mins ahead of Darren O’Leary 21:47mins, Stuart Hatton 24:56mins, Dave Fern 25:11mins, Sophie Galloway 25:48mins – a new PB, Ian Summerill 28:53mins, Marcus Fairburn 31:52mins and Ray Rogers 35:11mins.

    Peel Road Runners were also well represented at KWP’s New Year’s Day Parkrun. Mike Shelton was the first Peeler home at 20:25, closely followed by Simon Smith with a time of 21:03. Stuart Hatton and Darren O’Leary completed the race in 24:59 followed by Shaun Coyle in 25:37, George Hope in 25:46 and Robert Hirst in 26:45.

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peel Road Runner Robert Donovan reached a major milestone in his personal running career last the weekend.

    Whilst many events around the midlands were being cancelled due to the incoming inclement weather, Bob travelled down to Caldecotte Lakes, Milton Keynes to participate in the Enigma Christmas Marathon. Running in what he considers ‘not his favourite running conditions’ Bob completed the 26.2mile course in a time of 5:26:20hrs and in 40th place overall.
