You’re not alone! ☺☺ PAGE 02 Monthly Newsletter Hello! May 2020 PAGE 03 Monthly Newsletter A note from the Editor May 2020 The merry month of May with her glorious Spring weather has passed and we are already blowing into June quite steadily. I think we’ve all been making the most of the UK’s sunniest month on record, as the GRR social media pages are stocked with photos of tanned, smiling club members. Just beautiful! As soon as we were getting almost used to living with the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, some of these measures have recently been relaxed and we are able to meet up in small groups for a social distance run or chat. Happy days are nearly here again! Our club committee members have kept us motivated during May with several Challenges. I’ve included coverage of a lockdown challenges in this newsletter, so let’s jump in straight away. Personally, I have always found an intelligent challenge is a winner. We therefore kick off with Dave Kitching’s Acrostic Challenge which offered a time for reflection and brain training. His challenge was straight forward: create an Acrostic on what running means to you. There are excellent examples on running, the club and even life thoughts. See for yourself. Thank you Dave, for this quick-witted contribution. I particularly enjoyed following the COVID-19 challenge which was set by our charismatic chairman. Most of you were very innovative and dedicated with this challenge. I thought Tom Reader’s attempt was the easiest to convert to an article and you can read the“ diary style” article– doodles included – which I put together, a bit further in. You will also be able to follow a snapshot of a couple of the other attempts at this challenge. There were too many to include them all, and obviously the video attempts cannot be included – some of those were excellent! Do however revisit the Facebook page – Ben’s “big 19” energetic effort is well worth a watch. A few you went Disc Hunting. This colourful, competitive challenge was set by our chairman and it was all about the Hunt! If you missed the challenge, here’s a quick outline of it: 26 yellow and blue discs (club approved shades) were hidden throughout the local area, during challenge week. Not-so-straightforward clues were provided in order for you to locate the discs. More straightforward was that discs were lettered A to X along with two “special” GRR Discs. This challenge fired off on 25/05/2020 and the final hunt took place on 31/05/2020. The feedback on the Facebook page was overwhelmingly positive and it gave most of the participants an opportunity to introduce more cycling and walking to their days. May was Motivation month. Karen Harding enjoyed a phenomenally motivational May and she shares her journey with us. Well done on smashing all the goals you set for yourself Karen! We are again very fortunate to be introduced to an elite athlete. I don’t think many other people have the opportunity to learn about the “everyday life” side of this athlete in the way we have, through Ben’s exclusive interview. Thank you, Ben! Can you remember what the club newsletter looked like in May 1999? Dave Croft kindly sent me a copy , and you can view it a little further on . Knowing how much we all miss the results section, I have also included the time trial results from May 2010, just for fun (or as a comparison to see how 10 years may have affected your athleticism, if your name features in those results). PAGE 04 Monthly Newsletter A note from the Editor May 2020 May for Miranda was a “close but no banana” month. I didn’t achieve all the running goals I set for myself and this was a huge disappointment. With the benefit of hindsight, being unrealistic about the time I would have available for running when setting my target, whilst work was at a peak, was really not a clever move! Moving on. The most important thing I’m taking from May is that running remains to be a privilege which is accessible to all. As such, here is my attempt at an acrostic poem, which is also the mantra which kept me going when I felt I can’t : Invigorating as I’d like it to be, Coincidentally, as a cloak in Averting feelings of Negativity. Running regularly becomes an Utilitarian Necessity. I really miss Mr Kirby’s regular column, don’t you? A very speedy and successful recovery, Dave! May the new month be exceptionally good to all of you.

  • Read 334 Inspiring Stories
    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.

    Archive Race Reports 2008 6th January ~ Ropsley Raid nr Grantham, Lincolnshire, Multi-Terrain. Host Club ~ Ropsley Road Runners. This popular local race is a multi-terrain affair, run over fields, track and roads in and around the small village near Grantham. A slight frost was present as daylight broke, however clear blue skies and a brisk chilling wind added to the New Year feel. Both races were underway at the same 10 o'clock start time, with a good field of runners that would contest the narrow tracks early on before the race settled down. Prior to the race, Race Officials informed competitors that the race distance for the 6 mile race, was now approximately 8 miles, however satellite navigation watches would measure to course at 8.9 miles! Undaunted by the new distance Club members set off facing the challenge. New to our Club Tracie Hough entered the race with little recent off road experience, however produced a strong run finishing in 1hr 25mins, Candy Louth was pleased to finish in 1.32. Next to finish Catherine Simpson 1.38, Pat Riches approximately 15 mins adrift of Catherine in 1.52 with Stephen Betts 1.54. Julie Stapleton accompanied Carolyn Crocker who had not run above 6 miles before today and was delighted to finish this extended race in together in 2.04. In the 13 mile race measured at 13.6 miles Dave Tilley in a purple patch of form stormed home in first place some 5 minutes in front of the 2nd place runner, winning this event for the first time.

  • Commonwealth Field Assembled for Simplyhealth Great Birmingham 10K
    COMMONWEALTH FIELD ASSEMBLED FOR SIMPLYHEALTH GREAT BIRMINGHAM 10K THE SIMPLYHEALTH Great Birmingham 10k will feature a stellar elite line-up to mark the city’s bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The 10k, now in its third year, takes place on Sunday, 30 April, and will be televised on Channel 5 for the first time. Event organisers The Great Run Company have assembled a top-quality field with runners recruited from Commonwealth nations ahead of the event which takes place in the city centre. Olympians Timothy Toroitich and Lee Merrien, of Uganda and Guernsey respectively, will battle it out with English Commonwealth games athlete John Beattie and New Zealander Dan Wallis, who was victorious in last weekend’s Simplyhealth Great Edinburgh Run 10-mile race. In the women’s race, England’s Gemma Steel will face stiff opposition from the Kenyan duo of Violah Jepchumba and Lucy Cheruiyot in a mainly domestic-based field. While the Simplyhealth Great Birmingham 10k is an established event, with 8,000 runners taking part this year, it will be uncharted territory on a new course, which starts on Jennens Road and finishes at the new location of Millennium Point on Curzon Street. A course record will therefore be up for grabs in front of the television cameras, and Toroitich will be the man to beat in the men’s race. The Ugandan 26-year-old represented his country at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, making the final of the 10,000m, and boasts a 10,000m PB of 27.31.
