Week starting 23rd Sept

  A huge thank you to Dave and Sab for all the hard work in organising teams for the relays. It was a fantastic day! It was great to see newcomers like Lee Pearson make their debut in style. I want to emphasise that our group is all about putting on the Wolves vest and representing the club at all league events and relays. We're not here to chase tinpots, and I make no apologies for saying that. Parkruns and other races have their place in our build-up, but this group’s priority is to get out there and rep the club above all else. I was particularly disappointed to be in a team that ended up short of runners on Saturday - Mark literally stepped off a plane and ran a leg. Unless you are actually dead race! And even then give it a go. Also if you're injured or resting, come down to the club and lend a hand. If you're lacking motivation, it’s a great way to rediscover it.

Week starting 9th September

  Huge efforts over the last couple of weeks from so many of you. A few performances really stand out to me:  Paul Clarke's mile in the DCM was an impressively mature and controlled win. Although, he can now piss off for the picture he posted today of me looking like a soggy mess at Wolves' shite half! Jon Hart’s 5k at Mid Cheshire was also very impressive – 15 minutes dead is a bit cruel, but to be fair, he’s only been taking this stuff seriously for a short time, so there's a lot more to come. Dylan Illidge’s half marathon at the Great North, recognised as a tough course, was exceptional. 78 minutes, all down to his hard work and long runs with pace! Tony Cheema's excellent 80-minute half is fantastic to see, entirely due to him upping his mileage and the effort he puts in. This, despite the elapsed times on his runs and scrounging drinks from various shops and cafés along the way! Alex Kelly’s win today was wonderful to witness firsthand as he came up the ring road. ...
