I think this is a record for the number of articles in the club Newsletter. THANK YOU to each one of the contributors. I’m certain you will all agree with me – these are excellent articles! Michael Percival is not only a fantastic runner, he also writes some pretty entertaining race reviews. Run with him a bit further on in this edition. Nick Carter and Stef Neale keep us local with the Great South Run. Lee Westwood takes us on a Road trip to Birmingham whilst Ben Jarvis expertly paces us through the Birmingham Marathon. This month’s cover photo is all about determination, with a bit of spookiness added. Maybe I’m thinking a bit deep, but to me the “ghost print” is the image of everything you do from the point after you’ve entered a race from pre-race training plans, nutrition, dedication, discipline, perhaps frustration or injury, tiredness all the way through to our individual race experience, and the race result – whether that is what we expected or not (or whether your wife made you run harder than what you really wanted to!) ☺If you’ve prepared well, you’ll have a very clear ghost print.
