Jun 12, 2023
Team Blizard race report!
With the weather reaching scorching levels then this was matched with the performances in racing over the last week.
It is this time of the year when mid week races take place and there were some notable performances in the Kimmy Kanter and Loxley 5k to mention a couple with a great return to form in the later from coached athlete Becky Friar who smashed her 5k personal best.
Friday night saw the 41st running of the ever popular Newcastle city center rac that is the Blaydon Races.
Prolific racer Vivienne Fraser once again ran well as did Portugal training partner to many of you in Scarboro’s Andy Hopper who made the journey to the North East.
Moving into Sunday and increasing the temperature saw the running of the Hull 10k and half marathon where so many of the team raced and there were just too many of you all to mention.
Staying with the 10k theme it was great to see the return of the Woodhall Spa 10k put on by Curly’s athletes who once again staged a great event on what is a fast course.
However, this weeks “Run of the Week” goes to training partner to many of you Robbo Roberts who took the long trip down to Wales to compete in the Slateman Duathlon.
Not only did Robbo race well he only went and won the event and helped to take the just reward of run of the week.
Massive well done to everyone who raced in the last 7 days and long may these great results continue.
Until next week…..keep training!
