With her injuries behind her and a good few weeks dedicated to speed-endurance, Charlie went into this race in fantastic shape, having hit a 5K PB of 20:00 earlier in the week during a rep training session. Continue reading CHARLIE BEDDOW- NORTH WALES 100KM 2022 – 1ST OVERALL

Well this weekend Charlie went and did it again!! She took on GB Ultras’ Chester ultra 50 and smashed it out of the park.
Amongst the appalling weather and bogs of doom, she battled through to take the first spot amongst the ladies and continued on to show the men how it’s done too!
The course was cut short by 6 miles and I’m sure that if it wasn’t shortened then Charlie would have continued taking the scalps of the men in front and would have finished around 6th,7th,or 8th. Alas, who can’t be delighted with a result like the one she earned!!
Yet again Charlie has excelled in her training and showed her quality, this time on an ultra marathon over laps.
The challenge was to run as many laps of a 3.3 mile course as possible in 6 hours. Continue reading CHARLIE BEDDOW – 1ST OVERALL BIG BEAR BIRCH CHALLENGE 2020
After a long and arduous 8 week training cycle, Lesley took on the challenge of the Hardmoors 62 mile ultra marathon, from Guisborough to Filey.
13 miles in she was about 40th position.
Mission complete by Andy with a finish time of 19 hours 18 minutes over the tough Lakeland terrain.
As the starter counted down from 10 to 1, the rain started to fall and got heavier & heavier, and in true Lake District manner, it barely relented all day long. Continue reading LAKELAND 50 2019 ANDY GILSENAN
It’s mission complete for Fran at the Thunder run 24 hr race. His goal was to complete 100 miles in 24 hrs and that is exactly what he did!
Not only that, he managed to bag himself a 6th place finish out of nearly 100 runners over the weekend. It is testimony to his training and work ethic, and also shows his future potential!
Here is Fran about to complete his last lap!
This event takes place on the first Sunday in May all around the world. Over 120,00 people took part in the event this year which starts at exactly the same time wherever you are. People in Sydney are running in the dark, some are running as the light fades, some see the sunrise and in Kidsgrove, it’s a bit dull but high noon. I was taking part in the App Run – I wore my free event t-shirt and a proper number and an app on my phone, all I had to do was press the button and start running. Then, after half an hour a virtual car would start , the car speed increases every half an hour and when the car catches you that’s it, the phone beeps and your “race” is over.

Another race and another well deserved PB for Lesley, knocking 15 minutes and 3 seconds off her previous marathon PB giving her a finish time of 3 hours 22 minutes.
After getting a ‘Good For Age’ (GFA) marathon result at the London marathon 2 years ago, she guaranteed herself an automatic entry into the London marathon and so after a break of a year, used her place for the 2019 London Marathon. Continue reading LONDON MARATHON 2019 – LESLEY MURPHY
