Club Records

This is the latest list of club records.  If you know of any updates which can be made to this list please provide them to Ian Ashcroft, or Tony Hulme.

THURSDAY RUN - TEGGS NOSE

Stop Press - Thursday 30th June there will be a run from Teggs Nose (top car park) at 7:00pm.  There will also be a group running from the club as normal.  To get to Teggs Nose go to Macclesfield and at the 'Arighi Bianchi' junction take the A537 (Buxton Road).  After about half a mile fork right and Teggs Nose is a further mile on the right.

LYMM 5K SATURDAY 26th JUNE

With the club having used two (Dunham and Bowdon)  of the five North Cheshire GP races for our own Summer series , I had decided to enter the overall series . The other races were Hollins Green (separate posting ) and a second Dunham race . Four of five races to count .

No other WRC runners at Lymm , and the separate fun run allowed two junior Bishop's to compete in a 2.5k race finishing 5th and 6th ( 60 runners ) . Family harmony was kept intact as Bishop Senior (13) beat his younger brother ( 10) in a sprint finish , having trailled until the final 50 metres . Oliver ( 10) blames it on having run a 2.52 800 metre race for the school days earlier . Twin brother Luke found the ice cream van to be of more interest . No interest whatsoever from the leading lady of the house .

The 5k itself is run over an undulating route on in the main country lanes . Certainly the slowest course of the five races in the series . Paul Smith with 15.50 won and only six runners were under 17 minutes . In total 170 finishers .

I managed 9th overall and 1st V45 in 17.18. 

The prize giving was mildly disrupted as Julian Spencer ( Spectrum ) when presenting a prize of a box of chocolates , found to his embarasment that someone had half eaten them whilst the races were being run . No finger pointed our way ( refer separate note about junior Bishops and the fun run thus having a perfect alibi).

I became the proud owner of a Running Bear gilet by way of a prize as 1st V45( thanks Tony ) and a bottle of Lanson for 1st V45 over the series ( in the fridge ) .

Persnally I found the series to be great fun and more enjoyable than the Sale sizzlers due to the variety of races and the courses chosen .

Also worth noting that two races ( Hollins Green and Bowdon ) have chosen the local pub as race HQ . Race secretaries please note .

City Of Manchester 10k

26th June 2005, very hot but not as hot as Warrington

This race was organised by Manchester YMCA Harriers and apparently has its roots in the original Manchester 10k.  Anyway, history apart the new Regional Athletics stadium was a top venue providing a start and finish on the track where Kelly Holmes and other GB athletes will be competing next month.  Mike and I went along keen as ever and were pleased to see Stuart and Gareth - we had a team!

There was a rather chaotic start as the start time was first delayed by the police, then brought forward again then delayed as someone twigged that we were about to leave without the elite athletes.  As it happens we could have done with a few minutes start as Simon Arusei led a group of serious runners who literally sprinted away from the rest of us at the start and were round inside of 30 minutes. 

The field stretched out so quickly that I was left with only a couple of runners visible in front and behind which seemed amazing in a race of over 1000 runners.

The 3-lap course could have been chaotic but the laps reduced in length spiralling in on the stadium and meaning that only on the 3rd lap did we really get mixed up with the back of the field.  The spectators certainly got a good show as we passed the stadium on each lap.  The popular announcer from the Wilmslow Half was shouting the names and numbers as we passed by.  On the second lap he got a bit carried away and said that I was being tracked by “Paul Tergat” before correcting himself to Paul Targett a rather less well known runner from Clayton. 

I could also hear that just behind Stuart was involved in another close call with the ever green Alan Pover.  I’m pleased to report that even with his swollen Edale ankle Stuart was able to hold off the Pover challenge finishing strongly as ever on the track.  Alan’s Stockport team had the last laugh however narrowly pipping us to the Men’s Team 2nd prize and probably the Vets team prize as well.  Stuart and I narrowly missed out on MV40 prizes but I think that we earned £20 for a top 20 place giving a tidy £6 profit on the morning.  Mike and Gareth also finished well up a large field.

It should have been a very fast course and we all finished thinking that we had scorched the track to run PBs.  But the clock said otherwise and we were left with the feeling that the course might have been a minute long.  I happened to bump into the winner later on who agreed saying that he usually ran more like 28 minutes!

5+5=A TOUCH MORE THAN 10

Following Rob's detail relating to time comparisons , the detail below relates to sports science analysis predicting likely 10k times taking account of achieved 5k times.

Assumptions may include slightly adjusted training but for us , I dont think too important .

For a male running 18.56 for 5k , a time of 39.22 is predicted for 10k .

For a female running 21.00 for 5k , a time of 43.40 is predicted for 10k .

The male drop off is 4.72% compared to the female drop off of 3.95% .

I am sure that factually , the female anatomy does allow for increased performance as the distance increases , but Tony can I am sure qualify this . This point reinforces the growing number of headline articles " Will women run faster over the marathon than men in 100 years time "?

Here's to us all having great grand daughters ,  ' great ' in the literal sense !!

Nicky did tell me after Bowdon that she improves as the distance increases .

I ran the final North Cheshire GP 5K on Saturday at Lymm . Results not yet on the web , thus a report will follow .

Nick .

5 + 5 = 10 or does it?

Following on from Nick's fascinating comparison of 5k times I thought that I would indulge in some more harmless statistics.  In the table below I've explored the difference in our 5k and 10k pace by comparing times from the Dunham Massey 5k and the Warrington RR 10k.  Both races were run on hot evenings with similar terrain parkland paths under foot.  So how does 10k compare with 2 x 5k?

Column 1 is your Warrington RR actual 10k time.
Column 2 is your Dunham Massey 5k time.
Column 3 is 2 x your Dunham Massey 5k time
Column 4 is percentage drop off of your actual 10k

Mike Halman 32.54  16.01  32.02  2.63%
Rob Downs 34.59  16.56  33.52  3.19%
Jim Pendrill 35.50  17.10  34.20  4.19%
Tony Hulme 38.28  19.07  38.14  0.61%
Richard Parris 38.56  18.55  37.50  2.83%
Peter Carne 39.09  18.41  37.22  4.56%
Ian Smallwood 39.25  18.48  37.36  4.61%
Kate Ayres 40.06  19.40  39.20  1.91%
Mike Cooper 40.18  19.36  39.12  2.73%
Jane Clarke 40.25  19.40  39.20  2.68%
Steve Russell 41.30  19.46  39.32  4.74%
Paul Ayres 43.11  20.51  41.42  3.43%
Nicky Mowat 43.29  21.45  43.30  -0.04%
Penny Hinke 49.12  23.49  47.38  3.18%

Not surprisingly most of us can run a 5k at a faster pace than a 10k.  The time lost at the start of the 5k is more than compensated for by getting knackered in the second 5k or slowing down overall because we expect to get knackered...

Looking at the lower drop off results I’m sure that Tony would point to his superior fitness and fell running stamina.  But where does that leave Nicky?  She actually managed to speed up with distance ... well I guess if she challenges you to a 50 mile race, just say no. 

And for those of us idling in the 3-4% range I suppose Tony can prescribe suitable pyramid reps...

Warrington Road Runners 10K

Summer Series Race

23 June 2005, blistering heat.

Driving over to Warrington the temperature was in the late 20s and it still seemed every bit as hot as another massive Wilmslow team lined up at Woolston Park.  It was set to be another evening where Summer Series points would be hard earned.

Mike H was positively jumpy at the start looking around for the “whippets” that he was convinced must be lurking somewhere in the park ready to pop out from behind a tree and sprint a 30 minute 10k.  Fortunately there were none and Mike and I left the park trailing only the “pace bike” with Jim tucked in behind.  By the first mile marker Mike had started to pull away as usual.  By the start of the second lap he was practically out of sight finishing 1st in an impressive 32.54 – a minute and a half ahead of 2nd place … which was more hotly contested.

Until about 4 miles I was sharing 2nd place way behind Mike but feeling comfortable.  Then out of nowhere 2 more guys caught up with us and the race was on.  Over the last mile the heat and distance began to tell and I was unable to pick up the pace eventually finishing 5th at the back of the pack.

The course had some tricky turns and switch backs but this did mean that you got a good view of the action in different sections of the race.  As we doubled back on the second lap I could see Jim close behind then a line of Wilmslow runners in close competition.  At the finish this translated into some exciting tussles for Summer Series points as 11 Wilmslow runners finished within a 3 minute window led in by Tony (38.28) but with some other great times notably Peter (39.09), Kate (40.06 PB) and Jane (40.25).

Here are some provisional Wilmslow results.  Some may be missing as the club name wasn't always recorded in the results and it seemed like there were more of us.

The full results are at http://www.warringtonroadrunners.co.uk/WARRINGTON%20ROAD%20RUNNERS%2010K%202005.htm

If you find your result there then can you email me (or Comment this) so that I don't deprive you of extremely hard earned Summer Series points.

June Newsletter - contributions and nominations

Link: .

I'm looking to pull it together on Wed 29th. so if you could have everything to me by Tuesday 28th. I would be grateful.

I've got vet category winners for Bowdon but, Mick apart, not Dunham or Tittesworth - Rod uses the newsletter to compile his report to both the Rugby Club and Running Club AGMs so it is good to have a complete record.

There have been races outside the Summer Series so if you could let me have the results, and any comments, I'll include them

I found something from Stuart on the web site that I'd missed in compiling an earlier newsletter - if anyone else has done the same could you please let me have a copy and I'll include it.

Finally, nominations for Runner of the Month.

DUNHAM 5K Friday 17th June

Having run three of the  first four North Cheshire Grand Prix races ( Dunham / Hollins Green / Bowdon ) , I was interested to check the results from the second Dunham race this being the fourth race in the series . To qualify overall , runners need to run four of the five races , with the final race being this Saturday at Cherry Tree Primary School on Hardy Lane , Lymm  ( just off the B5158/Cherry Lane & 2 miles from M6 junction 20 , grid ref 674867). Start time is 4.30pm with a fun run at 5.00pm . Entries on the day at the school . I feel a thirst coming on at that time .

The sole WRC runner  on Friday was Damian Nicholls who finished a highly impressive 3rd in 15.39 and 5 seconds quicker than the first Dunham race .Winning time was 15.21 with 188 runners .

I am sure that both Damian and Sally Gilliver like me just need Saturday as our fourth race . Sally has been first LV40 in all of her three races .

See you all Saturday !! 

Summer Series after Bowden

This table shows the standing after the Bowden 5k.  Graham has also prepared a Ladies Only table, which shows some interesting differences.

These tables both show Race 9 as the Sale Sizzler 5k, however this race has now been swapped with the Gun Run, on Tuesday July 12th.  See earlier post for details.

Message from Peter and Sue

From the June edition of “Jogging International”

which roughly translated means:

Shoe Drying Fan

For your comfort and good hygiene this simple appliance dries your shoes when you return from training if they are wet from sweat, rain or even after a wash.  No risk of putting your damp shoes back on for your next session to come and in fact you reduce the risk of overheating (?) and of mycosis!  Simply made with a turbine with a turbine box, the machine airs and dries your shoes with air at room temperature without heating so as not to increase bacteria – silent and without using much energy.  Easy to install on the wall, cupboard or fix on a shelf, it can dry 4 shoes at the same time. 

I hope the Bear will be stocking this “must have “item, and will there be any installed in the changing rooms?

Summer Challenge (6)

Bowdon. A real macho performance. This is the way the world used to be. Sean, Ian and Paul took the one, two three. Tracy was next but then Rod (some say literally) pushed Nicky down to sixth. Don edged out Sally and Roy, Peter and Bill took care of Julie. Penny had her best run of the season getting ahead of Kate. Trevor continues to struggle but at the end of the season his points contribution could be vital. The result means that the gap between the Ladies and the Men has shrunk from 100 points before Tittesworth to 29. Anymore races like this and the ladies will be following the men’s lead and asking for a change of rules.

But none of the men won their category prize so in the end the evening was Nicky’s.

Christleton or Bowdon 5k ??!!

Some debate in the club last night was on the relative merits surrounding the speed of Bowdon and Christleton 5k courses . Our editor Mr A. suggested some analysis !!

Of the 16 that ran both , 5 were faster at Bowdon , Andy Penney ran the same time and 10 were slower at Bowdon . Of the improvers at Bowdon the average improvement was 10.6 seconds with the most significant gains coming from Ian Ashcroft ( 16 seconds ) , Tony Hulme ( 12 seconds ) but star prize goes to Tracy Alderson ( 20 seconds ).

Seven runners ran times of within 5 seconds difference( faster or slower )at either race .

The average drop off at Bowdon of the ten who were slower was 12.8 seconds .

There is no real science as other factors influence individual performance , and a couple of significant time differences from runners can skew the analysis . I guess that it does confirirm that Christleton is a touch quicker and if you work on the mean difference between faster and slower times based on the sixteen runners , it would suggest that Christleton is 5 seconds quicker based on the average time.

SUMMER SERIES

The Gun Run on Tuesday July 12th will be in the Summer Series.   Start and finish at Swythamley and Heaton community centre, Swythamley, Map ref SJ 965 632

Start time 7.15pm 9k approx

Will replace the Sale Sizzler July 14th as the 9th race in our series.  Reasons:- It’s more interesting, more of a challenge, and we have already done 3 5k races.

LOCATION from Wincle go through Danebridge across the river towards Meerbrook then take the first right and it is approx 1 mile

ROUTE I’ve been round the course and it will definitely give you a good work out. There is approx 2 miles road, 2.5 miles paths, 1.25 miles grass.

It is also quite undulating with some pleasant views.  It will be the toughest race in our series.  Shoes: Road shoes should be OK unless it is very wet.

SUMMER SERIES

Well done everyone, a record turnout at Bowdon. It is a pity about the finish funnel causing problems, I did mention it to the organisers and they said they would sort it out for next time ! some of our members seemed to take it to heart, Nicky Mowatt throwing herself to the ground, and Paul Ayres missing the finish funnel completely.

The Warrington 10K is next and having had it re-measured was found to be 200 m over distance, some of you may be a bit quicker this year. Don’t miss the Gun Run as I’m sure it will provide talking points for months to come.

Hollins Green 5K

The second of the North Cheshire 5K GP Series was on Saturday 4th June . This was not a Club Summer series race ( unlike Dunham 5K and Bowdon 5k which were also the first and third of the 5K series ) . 

The fourth of the series is a repeat at Dunham this Friday ( 17th ) with the final race at Lymm ( Saturday 25th ). Best four races qualify .

Hollins Green is a leafy village to the east of Warrinton near Glazebrook . The course was all road although after leaving the village it was similar to Chrisleton , corn fields and country lanes . A good 5k loop .The usual discussion afterwards suggested that the course is quicker than Dunham but that Bowdon is the quickest in the series . A couple of undulations but nothing more .

Warming up before I bumped into Sally who like me had decided to enter the five race series . A good result as Sally was 1st L40 and won  a pair of shorts while myelf as 1st M45 won three bottles of red wine . In my absence at the prize giving I have Sally and her husband Ian to thank for collecting my prize . Good call Sally , short's dont pour into a goblet that well !!

162 runners . Winning time 15.07 .

17th Nick Bishop . 17.06

68th Sally Gilliver . 19.34

158th Ian Gilliver . 29.03 .

Cheers .

Summer Challenge (5)

Scores following Tittesworth Reservoir

The fifth race in the Summer Series saw the Men closing the gap on the Ladies. The Lead Lady, Julie, was absent (this resulted in her ceding the position to Sally) but this was balanced by the Men lacking 2004 Champion Roy. The Men took 1st. and 3rd positions through Ian and Paul with the Ladies 2nd., 4th. and 5th. – Nicky, Tracy and Sally. More important, at this stage of the season, was that, for the first time, there were more Men (Rod, Bill, Peter and Trevor) than Ladies (Kate and Penny).

Summer Challenge

Summer Challenge

A competition within a competition for Group 4 and 5 runners. Ladies versus Men.

Conceived after Dunham the challenge came out of the ‘age before beauty’ comment in the last newsletter. A challenge by the Grumpy Old Men to the young ladies who are threatening their status in the club – both Tracy and Sally beat Roy (champion Grumpy in 2004) at Christleton. Tracy was absent, but Roy gained revenge over Sally at Dunham. Like much of the GOM’s bluster this challenge died a death following a quick look at Graham’s Summer Series score-sheet – the ladies would win by a country mile.

So we’ve changed the rules, opening it up to all the men in Group 4 except (sorry, Steve) those who run with Group 4 but are of Group 3 ability. This brings-in the younger men; the likes of Bill, Don, Gareth and Sean.

The scoring system will be that used for the Summer Series so (reading from Graham’s table following Dunham) the leading man, Paul, in 5th. place, scores 46 points whilst the leading lady, Julie, in 7th., scores 44 points.

So after 4 races the state of play is

Ladies

Julie 44
Nicky 28
Tracy 27
Kate 26
Susan 25
Penny 20
Angela 19
TOTAL 189

Men

Paul 46
Ian 34
Roy 33
Trevor 21
TOTAL 134

We don’t yet have the Tittesworth result but the men will be boosted by Rod, Bill and Peter’s performances. The men have more to come. To qualify for a mug in the main event you need to run in at least six races. In the Challenge just running in one race would at this stage, guarantee a minimum score of 18 points and the men have Simon, Stephen, Ron, Ken and possibly Rob and Neil in reserve. As there are potentially more men than ladies we will have to balance up the numbers to ensure the final result looks fair.

Club records

My e-mail of the 16th May somehow got misconstrued on its way tot he May
newsletter.

The 5 miles V60 record of 34.48 was set by Peter Watson not me - I was some
seconds behind him. From memory it was Rocket Ron who held it before.

Wincle Trout Run 4th June 2005

Fish of the Day

After the big turnout at Tittesworth even the offer of a fresh trout in the goody bag wasn’t enough to tempt many Wilmslow runners over the hills to Wincle. 

The course had been changed this year to start from the new show ground and take in an extra loop round a muddy field to string us out before the stiles and river crossing.  The mud was thick cross country stuff which made the slippery paths down to the river crossing even more treacherous.  At one point I couldn’t stop for a bridge and narrowly missed a tree. 

There must have been many other close shaves but Ray had the only visible injuries – apparently managing to fall up the hill.  And Ray had said that there were “no hills of note”.  I hope that he noticed the steep one through the woods that resembled the Alderley Edge hill rep.

The woods gave way to a sweep of open moorland and the views opened up over Staffordshire.  Paths cut deep into the peat and heather led us to the top of the hill.  We descended steeply past Hanging Rock; it didn’t seem quite as slippery now or perhaps I was getting used to it but I opted for the steps rather than attempting a fell racing bound down the hill.

Navigation got tricky at this point as the leaders were well out of sight and the odd scrap of red and white tape provided the only clues.  Remarkably quickly we raced back down through the woods crossed the river by the bridge this time and finished down towards the trout farm.

I counted myself lucky to scrape in a few yards in front of Stuart – he seemed to be faster on both the uphill and downhill and there wasn’t too much flat in between.  There was another close run in between Mike Cooper and Katie.  Mike finding 9K in the hills insufficient challenge these days had elected to run in his new racing flats which must have livened up the descents. 

This wasn’t an occasion where Wilmslow picked up all the prizes.  The exception was Lulu (the Parrot family Spaniel) who took 3rd in the hotly contested “Dog The Judge Would Most Like To Take Home” category.  This was the highlight of the muddy village fete.

And the trout … grilled up very nicely and I ate it for Sunday tea.

Summer Series after Dunham

Here are the eagerly awaited results of the summer series after 4 races (and details of future events - next one is Thursday 2nd June at Tittesworth).

A record turnout for 2005 with 25 club runners.  There were some very close results. I understand Kate and Jane believe they came in together and certainly have the same time recorded. I have however awarded the points as the official recorded race positions for now. Tony will need to decide if any final adjustment is made, perhaps at the end of the year, as it could affect more than just the Kate and Jane! Perhaps it would be easier if one of you ran a bit faster next time?

Next race is on Thursday 2nd June, and a good one it is, the first of the Staffs Moorlands Summer Series, at Tittesworth!  For directions see the link in the results sheet (click on 'Here' on the first line of this article). Hot tip: "fast start required as there are long stretches with few passing places, particularly early on"
