Week Starting 23rd March

What a weekend for our new club. Our first- and second-claim members were out in full force.


The Stafford Half, renowned for being a really challenging course, was TRX Wolves AC’s first ever outing. Great runs from Steve Newman (PB), Tom Pryor (PB), Alex Kelly (PB), Jonny Morris, Lucy Calrow, Rob Tavernor, Mark Illidge, Mark Judge and Anna Moore.

Darren Owen Jones was taken out after tripping badly near mile 2. Hope you mend well, sir.

Huge support all the way around, especially from Lynette Illidge, Fiona Wright, Hanna Morris and Lynsey Guy [Wone the best worst team photo competition].

At the Pulford 10K, three second-claim athletes ran fantastically. Dylan Illidge and Jon Hart both pulled off outstanding PBs, while James Neilson ran a great race.

What a awesome start to this club. 

Now onto the relays!

With that in mind, and with the vast majority of people having raced this weekend, here’s the week ahead :


Tuesday – Cranmere Avenue, ready to go at 6.50pm

6–8 x 800m off 90 seconds

Marathoners: 8 reps, first and last slightly quicker than tempo - the rest quick - followed by 10 minutes steady tempo. This, your miles and the relays will be more than enough after today.

Everyone else: 6 x 800m off 90 seconds at 5K pace, followed by 6 x 45 seconds

Saturday – THE RELAYS!

Here are some photos. It was hard to capture everyone at the same time! I have looked everywhere for the one on the park with Rob Tavernor... I'll keep looking.

Well done all for another great week of training. Some tough sessions in the bag — and our first cross-country training session successfully completed too. A big shout-out to everyone who took part in the Wolves Coleman Mile this week as well. A fantastic debut from Joe Marples, and it was superb to see Lucy Calrow back on the track with the club. Young James Neilson ran an excellent race, holding off the likes of our own Alex Blair, who is getting quicker by the day. James won the overall men’s event in a brilliant time of 4:36.3, which isn’t far off the record. Other regular members of our group who put in great mile performances were Jay Patel, Paul Rogers, and the very speedy Paul Dean, who finished 3rd overall. And a personal shout-out to my favourite child — [only joking!] Serge — who took the win in his race. Also in that race was Megan White, who won the overall ladies’ category. A big shout-out to Jon Hart too, who finished 2nd in his age group and 10th overall in the England ...

Give us a follow on Instagram:  trx_renagade_running Hello everyone, Well done again on another great weekend of training – the improvements are really showing. It’s time to start thinking about upcoming races like Mid Cheshire, Ellerdine, and the relays. Even though I’ve left Wolves, I’d still encourage you to support your clubs and run a relay leg if you can. Before long, the Cross Country season will kick off at Wolves Stadium with the Midland Cross Country Relays. Think ahead now about which races you want to do in late summer and early winter. And of course, for the men – you’ve earned your right to go and smash the First Division in the Birmingham League. Get out there and show them what you can do! For those talking about marathon training – start increasing your weekly volume gradually, especially Wednesdays and Sundays. Don’t jump into high mileage too fast. And remember: not every session needs to be an all-out effort. For a marathon, focus on building a strong engine and...

 So this week a lot of you will be testing out your training. It’s the Phoenix Flyer 5K this Wednesday, where new member Hannah Corns makes her debut for TRX Wolves. Then it’s the Mid Cheshire 5K on Friday, which is usually streamed online, so keep an eye out for links. Good luck to everyone racing. This week’s racing news: Ian Mansell continues to race himself fit with a strong run at Knowle 10K, finishing 4th in 35:19. Tom Pryor paced his mate around the Chester Half. Jack Burns ran the Market Harborough Half. Danni Braine represented her second claim club across multiple events after completing the track session yesterday morning. During the week she also competed in the Midlands Masters Track and Field League in the 800m and 200m, set a PB in the javelin, and competed in the long jump – brilliant effort. Last week we missed Rob Cartwright off the results who also ran a very strong 38 mins at Market Drayton.  Our second claim athletes were also out competing for their clubs...
