Week Starting 20th July


Another great week of training, and we're all getting used to the heat!


Races this week


Olly led the TRX Wolves back at the Ironbridge 4. It's a tough race and one that has historically been won by some extremely prolific athletes over the years. Our second-claim athletes also ran outstanding races, with Jonny Morris taking the win and James Neilson not far behind in 3rd place.

Well done to Jon Hart and birthday boy James Neilson, who also smashed it with outstanding runs at the Huxley 5 Miler. Jon came home first, and both finished in under 25 minutes.


News




The committee has got the Tettenhall 5K up and ready for entries! The race takes place on 16th September at 7:00pm, and we're going to need around 30 marshals, lead bikes, tail runners and volunteers to help keep runners safe with traffic management.


We'd love you to race, but if you can volunteer instead, we'd really appreciate it. The relays are on the Saturday, so consider helping out and saving your legs!


You can enter now via our website. Please help us by sharing the event and forwarding the details to as many people as possible. Thank you!


And in other news, our TRX Wolves Summer Handicap takes place on 8th August. It's open to runners from all clubs as well as non-club runners. It's just £3 to enter and is all about having a bit of fun... although we will be double-checking the times you submit for your handicap! 😄


Entries open on Wednesday via our website, so spread the word!

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...

Race round ups: Vic Musgrove Alex Kelly led the TRX Wolves home in a great time of 16:37. He is recovering well from the MCR Marathon and is now back on his 5k programme. An outstanding run by Oliver Jones saw him smash through to the 16-minute 5k group. Joseph Marples also ran a storming race, lowering his 5k PB considerably with a new best of 17:14. Brilliant runs by all our TRX Wolves members throughout the field. Rob Cartwright, Richard Breakwell, Rob Tavenor, Stuart Whitehouse, Danni Braine, Hannah Corns and Ellie Kelly all ran very strong races. It was also great to see some of our second claim members doing so well. James Neilson ran a superb 15:32 to finish 3rd, Dylan ran a straight 17:00 for 23rd, and Beth Tabor finished 4th in a brilliant time of 18:08. Anna Moore ran a very strong race, picking people off throughout to finish in 22:36. It was also great to see Simon Calrow, Paul Dean and Russ Blair, our wonderful second claim members, putting in excellent performances. Want ...
