Reading Roadrunners Newsletter Oct 2017
READING ROADRUNNERS NEWSLETTER OCT 2017 The newsletter remembers 1987 as the year a friend’s dad got INSIDE THIS MONTH: a CD player (things moved slowly in Yateley). The one thing that • MEDOC MARATHON we had heard about CDs was that you could scratch them, smear them with jam etc. and they would still reproduce perfect sound. • THAMES VALLEY XC You can probably guess the rest of the story. • CHARITY NEWS Anyway, luckily over in Reading a band of pioneering running • FRIDAY TRACK & 5K enthusiasts were spending their time more productively forming • O2O 10K what we now know and love as Reading Roadrunners. This month saw the official celebrations as the club marked the anniversary in traditional style (roasting a pig, making cakes and getting tiddly on Brakspears...) Your race reports have been coming in thick and fast, from desert marathons to 10Ks around shopping centres. Many thanks to all this month’s contributors - we look forward to lots more as we head into Cross Country season! READING ROADRUNNERS OCT 17 1 Chairman Chat CARL WOFFINGTON I mentioned last month that autumn was approaching. The above mentioned party incorporated our 30th I now have leaves on my lawn, so I guess it’s here. The Birthday book launch. I hadn’t seen the book before XC season is with us. By the time you read this we Saturday and bought a copy. It really is very good will have run our first TVXC race of the series. and a bargain at £3. It is very clear that an enormous amount of work was put into producing the book. -
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. -
March/April 2010 Established 10/08/1984 Affiliated MCAA,LRRL, DRL,RWA
1 WinterRoadhoggs edition 2006 Leicester A.C. March/April 2010 Established 10/08/1984 Affiliated MCAA,LRRL, DRL,RWA. The Lighter Nights are Coming Summer training will commence on Wednesday 31st when we‟ll run from the Baker‟s Arms in Blaby. To make full use of the light, we‟ll run down the canal to St Andrews and return by road. Of course, the week before (24th) we‟ll be celebrating the end of winter training with one of our famous „hat nights‟. No doubt Keith will find a prize for the most amusing headgear and we‟ll be off to the Cow & Plough for some of their „doorstep‟ chip butties. Many of the usual favourites have made it into the summer programme, but there‟ll be a few changes to keep you on your toes and we‟ll have well-defined shorter routes (usually 4-4.5 miles) for those that want them. The routes (and maps) will be posted on the web in advance so you can print them off, if you get lost easily (not mentioning any names!). Snow Stops Play New Members Only a couple of LRRL races had ever been cancelled before A warm welcome to Steve who (because of foot and mouth restrictions) but we‟ve now lost joined us in January. two in 12 months. Add the Derby Runner round at Bagworth and it‟s enough to have the global warming deniers putting another patio heater in the back of the 4x4. It was a shame LRRL Winter League for Fleckney & Kibworth to lose their debut promotion but Gumley Hill would have been doing a fair imitation of the Mar 7th Asfordby Cresta run on Sunday morning. -

(Tribute to Graham Taylor) 16 Future Races 18 2 Editorial Welcome to the first Stragmag of 2017. This month all three of our cross-country teams have been in action again – read on for reports for ladies, men and juniors. The final fixture in the Surrey League is on February 11th and with our men’s, and in particular ladies’, teams pushing for promotion we need as many people available to run as possible. With Malcolm and Helen currently sunning themselves on the other side of the world (something about our men’s captain reaching the big 50), vice captains Simon Brazil and Katherine Curtis Tyler can take names in their absence. Away from the mud, this month we have a race report from a 10k in Battersea Park. With the winter races in full swing, Stragmag is always keen to receive your race reports, especially if it’s somewhere a little further from home. See Lewis Taylor’s report in this issue or Malcolm Davies’ write up on the Gosport Half in the December issue as an example of exactly what we’re looking for. -
