Team Blizard Race Report
We have a great set of results to bring you from the last week of racing as the team has been on fire!
We have a collection of distances to report this week from all over as we celebrate some fantastic runs.
Mid week saw the first of the South Yorkshire road league events take place and well done to all those who raced over the very hilly route!
Next stop was the Bath Track Club 5km road race where brother and sister duo of Alice and Freddie Fearn both raced.
Freddie celebrated finishing his university studies with a brand new personal best stopping the clock in an impressive 14.39mins and that is some improvement in the last 12 months and well done that man!
Moving up in distance to 10 we have two races to cover. The first was the Derby 10k where recent lactate test client Sophie Eadsforth not only ran a new personal best time but also took the V50 1st place.
The ever popular Lincoln 10k took place on Sunday with some many of the team racing there and we had a new personal best and making in 3 personal bests in 3 races from Worksop athlete Tom Shaw, while there were eye catching runs from marathon bound athletes in Callum Ely and Rebecca Friar.
The Portugal duo of Richard Burke and Gill Coulson both had great races and Gill ran that hard she ended up in hospital and we wish her a speedy recovery!
The beautiful Florence half marathon saw Nottingham athlete Anthony Corcoran run a great race and record his best time for many years.
The final race to cover is the Vienna marathon held on part of the famous sub2hrs course and it was great to see Clowne Road Runner Nick Roberts smash his personal best by over 14 minutes to go under 3.00hrs for the first time and any other week this performance would have taken “Run of the Week” but he has been out done by coached athlete John Podgornyi who managed to also go under 3.00hrs for the first time and improve his previous marathon best by a staggering 19 minutes and win this week’s ROTW!
Massive well done to everyone who raced and let’s keep this momentum going team!
