NYE Flitch Way Marathon - Tuesday 31st December 2019

Paul: Great way to end the running year, Flitch Way Trail Marathon.
Wheels fell off the last 7km but great fun in the mud and trails, good to
not care about time and km splits etc. Thanks to the coach Rafal Medak for
all his hard work. Looking forward to 2020 and Two Oceans.



Description: The Flitch Way Marathon is an out and back marathon mostly
along an old disused railway line. Starts and finishes in Great Notley
in Essex.

Plain Crazy 2019 (12.5m ish) - Sunday 29th December 2019

Caroline reports: The last race of 2019 called for something a little different, and Plain Crazy certainly fitted the bill. Part of the Wiltshire Athletics Association off road league, Plain Crazy is a 12.5 ish mile run and has been described as hilly, cold, scenic, desolate, windy and can even be snowy.
With over 1000 ft of elevation gain this race definitely gives Orion 15 a run for its money.
The race starts and finishes in the garrison town of Warminster on the edge of Salisbury Plain and is a fund raiser for the Royal British Legion.
It was a race with three firsts for me - the first time I have been advised in a race briefing to stay on the track to avoid coming into contact with unexploded military debris, the first time I have run through a tank graveyard, and the first time I have ever WALKED up a hill in a race!
The race is mainly run on tank tracks and closed roads on Salisbury Plain. There are only 2 days a year that the road we ran on is open to the public, the rest of the time that part of the Plain is for military use only.
The first 2 miles were solidly up hill onto the Plain, a fair bit of mud and lots of clay underfoot, followed by a steep downhill section where you really had to watch your step - lots of loose gravel and slippery surfaces. This was followed by the hill from hell - a very steep grass slope that everyone walked up, including me. So not only was I walking during a race, I was walking in the first 20 minutes of a race!
After this we were up on the Plain proper and it was mostly rolling until 9 miles, on tank tracks that were full of enormous pot holes and giant puddles. Lots of loose gravel meant I was always watching my step, but I felt pretty good once I realised there weren't going to be anymore hills as steep as the one I walked up.
The last uphill bit was a fairly gentle incline from about 9 miles, but it stretched on and on into the distance as far as the eye could see, which when combined with a cold headwind meant it felt like it went on forever.
Thankfully at 10.5 miles we crested a hill by some lookout towers and I could see Warminster again down in the distance. The last 2 miles were mostly downhill which made for a fast finish, and I came in at 1.40.19 in 92nd place (15th female) out of a field of 500 which I was pleased with. My aim was sub 8 min miling and my pace averaged 7.50 which I was very happy with given the whole walking episode (can you tell how much that grates me?!)
I feel like I've ended 2019 on good form - bring on 2020.

Torrington Christmas Caper - Saturday 21st December 2019

Sarah's report: The Torrington Christmas Caper has now become a bit of a Christmas Tradition. A visit to Dad's is easily combined with a 9.79 mile run through mud, floods and Devon hills. Plus the clotted cream and Christmas pudding awarded to finishers, in leui of a meda, saves on the Christmas food bill. This year Paula joined me. We huddled together on the start for warmth and as soon as the signal was given we were off, well she was off. After a brief but sharp decent and a run through a forested area tracking the river we soon encountered the dreaded lane. A 200m flooded lane with freezing cold water up to the waist (Paul's thighs). Walking was the only option but slow progress in the cold water made for numb feet and legs. Next challenge was a steady 2 mile up hill slog where you could see the runners on the opposite side of the river. I looked out for Paula but could see her. Paula looked out for me and spotting me shouted my name (apparently I was too busy talking). Some muddy ups and downs came next on the flinty forest tracks. There were a lot of branches strewn across the route so carefully footing was required. At about mile 7 we rejoined the Tarka trail heading back to Torrington. I was getting really hungry and starting to dread the horror of the last mile. Paula on the other hand ceased the opportunity to get her head down and crack on, taking advantage of the relative flat of the trail. With a mile and a half to go the toughest section was to come. As I heard the sound of Christmas songs floating across the Devon hills I knew I was approaching the "death drop". A almost vertical mud slides of a decent in to a water filled ditch. Unbeknownst to me not 5 mins early Paula had chosen the path of least resistance and arse-sledged down the decent. I on the other hand just managed to stay upright narrowly avoiding face planting in the ditch. The last mile is a brutal up hill slog across sodden fields back to the rugby club. Hitting the tarmac run in to the finish Paula unleashed her sprint and was relieved to find the kids waiting at the finish #runningorphans. Mildly concerned for my nephew's but mainly motivated by the promise of warm mince pies and sugary tea I got my gurn on and stumbled over the finish line. We collected our puds and clotted cream and reflected on the fact that it would have been easier to go to Waitrose. But that wouldn't have been half as much fun. Merry Christmas everyone.

Mark Moir: Yesterday, my final race of 2019 took place in Stevenage. The muddy conditions made it difficult in parts but I was really pleased with my time of 33:56 for just shy of miles. A day after running my final London parkrun of 2019 too. It has been a terrific year of running for east London runners as a club and it has been a privilege to run with such an amazing bunch of people and help to represent them up and down the country this year! Let’s see where 2020 takes me on this running journey.

Run Through Victoria Park Half Marathon - Sunday 15th December 2019

Adam Stanley: My last race of 2019 - Victoria Park half marathon.
2.01.11. Didn't quite get under 2hr but pretty pleased as not managed to
get in so much training of late. Looking forward to 2020 after my first
year of doing any races - pleased to have finished 5 1/2's and a 10 miler
so onwards and upwards. Been a real help joining up to ELR this year and
has not only helped with my times but given me a new love for running again.

Sikhs in the City Dawn to Dusk, Ultra - Sunday 15th December 2019

Jacob: I enjoyed my first SITC race - well organised and fun.
I never would have considered entering such a race before joining ELR!
I also adjusted my expectations, deciding to stop at 50k rather than
do the full D2D, as my hip was playing up. If I do another ultra I'll
probably go for something more scenic, but may well do the half next
year.
Thanks for the support from you and the rest of the ELR gang!

Sikhs in the City Dawn to Dusk, Marathon - Sunday 15th December 2019

Pictures available in Photo Gallery

Maud Hodson: When my alarm clock went at 6.15 this morning I very seriously considered turning it off and going back to sleep. Although I'd decided a few weeks ago to switch from the ultra to the marathon due to a total lack of training, 26.2 miles is not to be taken lightly.
Anyway I'm glad I turfed myself out of bed. There's something about this race that keeps me going back year after year - a real sense of community. I ran at various times with other ELRs and friends from other clubs, and felt so well supported by everyone. And having thought that 4.30 would be realistic I was very happy to come home in just under 4.15. I guess I'll probably be back next year...

Fiona Day: I can't remember running more than 8 miles in the past 6 months! I guess I could try and drag up excuses, but after considering stopping at the half realised I have felt worse when I was running a marathon and still finished even when the training had gone well. So today my marathon was a training run.

Mick Wilson: This was my first Sikhs in the City, Dawn to Dusk race. I had wanted to run it the previous two years, but it clashed with the Cross Country League. I had considered deferring my entry as I did not feel up to running a marathon and then the day before, I picked up another cold. I felt a little rough and shivery on the day and in the end was relieved to complete 11 Laps for the 22km. There was a board at the end where you couId look at your name and check the number of laps completed. I found it difficult particularly turning left into Woodford Bridge Road and my hip felt sore on the camber and running up and down the curbs on the pavement. I have admiration for those who ran the Marathon and Ultra distances, on a very tough course. I personally found the Hog Hill Half/Marathon/Ultra run easier because it was run on smooth tarmac. The disappointment of my run was more than compensated for by the day itself. The SITC team put on an amazing event. The organisation and Marshalling were first class and everyone were so friendly and helpful. It felt like a real community occasion. There was food everywhere, a nice shirt and a big medal at the end. I would have liked to have seen the Year put onto the medal as there was plenty of room, or else on the ribbon. Well done to all the ELR's, especially those with top three placings. Everyone were winners today!

Sikhs in the City Dawn to Dusk, Half Marathon - Sunday 15th December 2019

Alexandra: Mini race report at the SITC D2D today!
After my second place at the Ultra last year, there was some pressure to perform well this year...
However, having been a looser the last 6 months in pretty much all the races I had done, I would have had to hope for a miracle.
So, I decided to be a least a wise looser and instead of running an Ultra badly and take weeks to recover from it, I stopped today after a ( still bad) half-marathon which will allow me to perform better at the Sunday league next week!
2020 is starting soon and it can only be better than 2019...
In the meantime, our runners made me very proud today, just mentioning a few amazing results from
Patrick Brown (1st Male marathon distance)
Lee Johnson (1st Male 10k)
James Nichols (3rd male 10k)
Fiona Critchley (2nd female 10k)
Karan Gadhia with a marathon under 4 hours
Jacob Stevens finishing his first ultra
Some of them are still out there : Peter Hatley, Jag, Rich Kimmens! Go, guys,

Caroline Moore: My first time, I did the half, the 11 laps worked out longer,
14 miles, as you warned! And tough, that little hill starts to hurt after 8 laps.
Great atmosphere and support, especially from Alice Barrett's wonderful mum, who
was on the corner just before race HQ.

Mike Wilson: This was my first Sikhs in the City, Dawn to Dusk race. I had wanted to run it the previous two years, but it clashed with the Cross Country League. I had considered deferring my entry as I did not feel up to running a marathon and then the day before, I picked up another cold.

Sikhs in the City Dawn to Dusk, 10km - Sunday 15th December 2019

Stuart: Just the 10k for me this year at SITC, I have done the
half the last two years but not run 10k since Beachy head in October,
The weather could not have been better just a little wind and not too cold.
I met other ELR at the start line at about 10:00 and we cheered and shouted
as the runners came by,
SITC is a well-organized event and very local, and free food at the end,
I never got a PB but I guess with little training that was a lot to ask for,
Thanks again to everyone involved.

Michael Wilson: Thanks to all the East London Runners that came along to run or Marshall at the Olympic Park Velodrome last night. It is rare for us to cancel a Wednesday club run (ELVIS and a snowy/icy evening two years ago excepted). In the event, close to 50 runners turned out on a cold December evening close to Xmas. A big thanks to Adrian Frost, Bob Jousiffe and the Chingford League committee for arranging, also Eton Manor for their excellent hosting of the race.
Adrian advises that the Velodrome race was made possible by the support of the League sponsor, East London Brewing Co. Therefore yesterday was a first, for our club and the League. However, Adrian advises it is also a return to a venerable tradition. Up to three races a year were held on the same site (the old Eastway Cycle Track), until about 14 years ago. This was quite a few years before ELR joined the League!
Finally, please advise any feedback or issues you have concerning the race. This will be of assistance to the CL. in the discussions/planning for next year's event.
Keep on supporting the Chingford League, Sunday League and ELR.
Thanks,
Mike, Jacob and Alexandra.

XXIV Media Maraton, Jerez (Half Marathon) - Sunday 1st December 2019

So pleased with the Jerez Half Marathon (1:54- thanks Don!); furthest I've ran
in a year with a few slow 10ks and a cheeky 10miler as my limited training due
to baby duties. My dream was to get sub 2 hours 5 months after Aari was born,
but I think I smashed that despite the course being slightly long and having
many cobbled parts! Can't wait to keep training and prioritise making time get
back to full fitness. So grateful to Thomas who happily helped me find time to
do some runs. It felt amazing seeing him and Aari along the route cheering me on.
Also amazing to find out that my friend Antonio won... legend! Babygrow
courtesy of the amazing Ponytails... What do we think about the trousers being
part of the new running kit?! Sheetal

Well done to everyone that ran on a bitterly cold morning at Trent Park. Very muddy in places but not as bad as the course last week, on the opposite side of the path. Some lovely forest trails, with a muddy uphill run to the finish. The sun came out and it warmed up towards the end. Thanks to everyone that brought along cakes today. Hope you are feeling better Stuart Stupot Barton. This was a very enjoyable race with excellent marshalling from the host club, Trent Park RC.

Jacob Stevens: A good turnout - 18 runners (compared to 14 last year) -
enough for full A, B and vet men's teams, and full A and vet women's teams.
Well done everyone!

Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon X - Saturday 30th November 2019

Pictures available in Photo Gallery

Arthur Diaz :Race report on a very long marathon finish: Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon X, West Cork, Ireland
Date: Saturday, 30th November 2019
Start time: 9am
Official time: 6:45:56
This is the marathon that I was aiming to get a pb of under 4:30 (after not racing Lochness) but I guess not everything in life just ever goes to plan, innit? Did my training in wet, cold, hilly conditions with the consistent long runs on Sundays. However, the wheels fell off during tapering time where my leg cramps just did not recover fast enough a week before race day.
I flew in to Cork airport Thursday night and by Friday morning, I was very disappointed with myself that I have not fully recovered and will more likely pull out from the race (just like what I did at Beachy Head Marathon 2018). I texted Alexandra Rutishauser-Perera asking for her opinion, if it is shameful to walk a marathon while wearing the ELR club shirt. Well, you can guess from the photos what her answer was then!
And so, I was excited again to do my fourth marathon in 2019, walking it while taking lots and lots of photos.
I arrived in Clonakilty that afternoon, after stopping by at Kinsale, and went straight to Clonakilty Park Hotel to register, collect my bib and extra small free race vest (didn't fit me, of course). Did some panic buying of a long massage stick, hydration belt, magnesium tablets and nurofen which I carried with me on my marathon "trek".
Saturday morning (race day), I got to share breakfast with some chatty fellow runners from all over Ireland. One of them who's walked a marathon before, tooked her 8 hours to finish, and the best advice I heard was when you think you are lost because everyone else has finished and there's nobody around to guide you through, then you just "follow the rubbish", i.e. thrown water bottles and used gels.
Never thought that became so useful since that is pretty much all the company I had on my lone walk/shuffle marathon out in the wild countryside and in blistery Atlantic coast.
The hills never really bothered me nor the absence of cheering crowds, but not running (actually, I am not running) with anybody else felt a bit out place like I was being punished for not sticking to my tapering and recovery training, that I have to drag my non-running legs for 42 kms and make sure I finish before dark.
There's less than 3,000 runners on this event including the ones doing the full, half, and 10K. The race was dedicated to a living legend, Catherina McKiernan which coincides with her 50th birthday on the same day.
The race starts and finishes at Clonakilty Park Hotel where you get to use the Leisure centre facilities afterwards for free plus a food voucher.
Organisation and marshalling was good. The views of the rolling Irish countryside, farming areas and Atlantic coastline is really amazing. Totally recommend this one if you like hilly races or training for something like Marathon des Sables! In fact I met one who overtook me towards mile 20 and he's done a marathon a day before, 10K the next morning and the same marathon again (i.e. this one) while carrying a large ruchsack!
The locals in Clonakilty are also very friendly even offering me a lift at some point (they probably thought I was lost or something) and chatty too. Although it might take a while to work out what they are actually saying, especially when they were giving me directions on one of the turning point of the course. Cork accent is just lovely.
And so after over 6 hours of navel gazing, singing 'fields of gold' over and over again, I'm finally on the home stretch with only 2 miles left to go. But lo and behold, they've opened the road to traffic, and there were no marathon signs left nor any runner's rubbish that I could follow, no cheering crowd and no marshals left to guide me back to the finish. With less than an hour before it gets dark, I reached out for google map.
Eventually, I made it back to Clonakilty Park Hotel, imagining all the cheering crowd there for being the last one to finish and yet I got to the finish line without the finish line sign, no photographer to take my arms in the air pose, nobody announcing the name on my shirt and no tears of joy that I thought I was going to have from doing my longest marathon time ever.
But all that didn't matter once the lady at the end took something out from a box that was already sitting inside a van. It was the finisher medal, which she then put around my neck and said congratulations! They then asked me what time I think I finished and I said, it doesn't matter, I got the medal. Please do take my photo now.
And it was all smiles in the end.

No sign of women not be able to do it! It's been a long time since I've been to Trent

more psychedelic vibe than today XC! Was a great race plenty of mud and hills.

Jacob Stevens: Here are the updated ELR Winter League rankings, after Chingford League race #3 (Trent Park). This was a very competitive race, with a median time of 37:23 (Chingford League clubs only), so most people have a lower performance score on this race than the earlier ones. Still, the biggest factor is how many races you've run, so make sure you keep turning up to the league races to maintain your position!

Carrera Popular de Jerez, second overall at 3:13/km. Difficult to find a race
with this level in Cadiz, where most of the fastest runners have turned up.
Felt good during the race, increasing the pace gradually and finished with
some petrol left in the tank. Now time for a XC race and the Jerez HM before
starting the Seville marathon training. Nothing like running at home.
Thanks to everyone who cheered me up during the course and to my club.

Men's team 11th of 38 (4 to score)

Mike Wilson Reports.
My debut at this event. The 4 Lap course was advertised as 10k distance (6.2 Miles), but turned out to be 6.5 Miles. It was very muddy after a lot of rain and needless to say, very hilly! I finished 465th out of 494 runners in an official chip time of 1.00.02. (My unofficial Strava time said 1.00.00 and I was hoping to get under one hour!)
A tough high standard race and a very enjoyable day out with the club. Our men's team finished in an impressive 11th place out of 38 clubs in total with Thomas Grimes, Patrick Brown, Euan Brown and Mark Boulton, our scorers. Fine London Championship debuts from Paula Bedford, Veronica Carrasco, Mark Moir, Andrew Jackson, Jacob Stevens, David Hallybone and Arthur Diaz. Arthur also had enough energy left in his legs to run the Phoenix Riverside Half Marathon the next day!

Run In The Dark 10km, Battersea Park - Wednesday 13th November 2019

Fabrizio reports: I generally take a break after the year-end long race, and spend about a month with little training, and indulging in activities that a serious athlete wouldn't condone increasing the opportunities to sample Shiraz and Barbera, getting a monthly pass at McD, and avoiding fruit and veg like they were poison. I didn't realise that at work I had put my name down for Run in the Dark, which the company decided to enter to support the Mark Pollock Trust. Mark Pollock is an endurance athlete who became blind and subsequently wheelchair-bound after a fall from a second-storey window, and now aims to inspire people to build resilience and collaborate with others so that they achieve more than they thought possible.
It is one of those events when I thought multiple times: why am I doing this? It's cold, it's wet and rainy, it's windy, it's dark: my idea of hell really. And I wasn't fit for running, or so I thought, with nearly three weeks of hibernation and only 5 miles of running on my legs during this period. Similarly, I had to force myself to remember what to pack, what I'd need pre-, during, and post-race, so I shoved a few bits and pieces in a backpack without any conviction that this would be a race to remember from a performance perspective. Although the race was entirely on tarmac, with a foot injury still lingering I opted for super-cushioned trainers specific for trail running that I have used in the last month or so: Hoka One One Speedgoat, which I am more and more in love with.
Until I passed over the start line nothing (almost) went the ideal way. A long commute to the place (Battersea Park), including a mile walk from the station to the extremely crowded marquees where race packs were available and bags were dropped; then a (too) quick warm-up without stretching or strides, a last-minute vest changeover (so I could tell everyone that ELR was there); then trying to squeeze in the crowd to get as close as possible to the start line, and still not being able to get closer than about 50 metres. By then I had forgotten in my bag three things, clearly not essential: my new head torch, a gel, and gloves.
It took a good two minutes to be able to run in a straight line without having to slalom between other runners. As at the half I ran three weeks ago, I kept looking at the watch at every kilometre, more and more surprised that I could run another one at that pace despite (in this case) the lack of training, and wondering when I'd hit the wall. Indeed, I kept lapping other runners, and only towards the end was I able to run just about on my own. I did hit the wall about a mile to the end, but I kept going, realising that I was going to get a good time.
At the end I did get a VB (Veteran Best; in nearly all distances my PBs are out of reach): 37:43, 5th overall and first vet. After finishing I attempted a cool down (couldn't get any cooler than that, I'm afraid). I stayed for a few more minutes, waiting for my colleagues to put an end to their agony, then politely declined to stay for a drink as at that moment a hot bath was all I needed, and it was about 90 minutes from there.
The race lives up to its name: it's in the dark, although there is sufficient lighting to see puddles, runners and other obstacles. Those familiar with Battersea Park will know that the course is as flat as you can get, and the trees provide good shelter against the wind; on the sad side, the start avenue is far too narrow and dealing with the other 700 runners was a challenge. It is definitely a race I would run again, and would recommend running here to all those who look for a PB course or a good place for tempo runs or fast long intervals.
Now let the hibernation continue for a few more weeks: ZZZZZZZZZ.

Chase The Moon 5km, QEOP - Wednesday 13th November 2019

Chase The Moon 10km, QEOP - Wednesday 13th November 2019

Chase the moon. 10k Olympic park. 1st position. 33:46 and 3:10 min PB!
I wanted to do a 10k before the end of the year to complete a great year of PBs. After find out I will not be able to run the XC race this weekend due to work I decided to book something local and have it done.
Weather was great for running on the cold side. Race started fast as some runners were doing a 5k. I felt fast and comfortable and adopted a 3-4 position. After 2 laps(5k) I was tempted to do a Sprint and get 1st position for the 5k but I quickly discharged the idea as I was going for a 10k PB and position wasn't as important. A group of 3 separated from the rest and did good at controlling the pace and don't get too carried away. On the last lap I started increasing the pace and chasing them and at the last 500 m I was confident I had enough energy for a long sprint and that should give me the victory
Chuffed with my time and the 1st position and knowing there's still room for improvement.

Joanna: A very boisterous 5km swim today with a few bruises picked up along the way.
Chuffed that I managed a sub 2 finishing 3mins faster than last year in 1.57.19
but you need to be made of stern stuff against some of the swimmers in there.
I doubt I'll do it again as there's little enjoyment factor but at least I'll be going out on a high.
More training over the next couple of weeks before my big day so feeling positive at the mo.
Thanks as always to my best support team; Marc, Stuart, my mum and Sandra and it was great to see Kat & Jason swim beforehand.
A great water-based day for ELR.

Behobia-San Sebastian 20K - Sunday 10th November 2019

Alexandra: Race Report Behobia-San Sebastian 20k
So much to say about that weekend ! A few months ago, I heard Maud talking about the trip, as I love Spain and running weekends, I asked if she needed some company and she managed to get the organisers to offer me a free entry as well. Since, I only had to buy a (cheap) flight, the decision was taken quickly…
Maud will probably explain better than me how both the organisers of the race and the University of San Sebastian took amazing care of us, from arranging our transfers to offering us lunch and the VIP treatment after the race. During the whole weekend, we only met with my favourite type of people : the warm and welcoming ones! I also had the opportunity to practice my Spanish which was a big plus and believe me, explaining the story of 'the clap' to the Dean of the University in Spanish was quite a memorable moment.
The race, then! We knew we would have to wrap well before the start, a 30 mins trip on a crowded train from San Sebastian to Behobia then a stressful 2 kms walk to drop our bags on time more than 1 hour before our race hoping it wouldn't rain too heavily, we had fun crossing the border for a short warm-up in France , a bit of standing in front of the big screen looking at the start line then it was time for Maud to go, That's when it suddenly started to pour again and I was cold, fortunately, I managed to find shelter for 20 mins just near the very interesting new urinal for women. I almost felt sorry I didn't want to pee anymore cause I would have loved to try them! (more info here: https://www.lapee.dk/ ).
Luckily, the rain stopped and I could go to my pen, The silver lining of running so badly this year is that I don't feel any pressure before running a race, I know in advance that it will be slower that what I should be able to run anyway, But, then, that mentality probably doesn't help, vicious circle and all.
Anyway, off we go and as expected, I was struggling at even a 10:30 min/mile pace at the start, oh well, after Beachy Head 2 weeks ago, any race will feel easy anyway, just hang on there, Fortunately, it got a bit easier. I had a laugh at myself passing the city of Irun (pronounce it Eeroun) finally realising that the name I kept seeing since we got our numbers the day before had nothing to do with running and being a runner (yep, I really thought there was a place, probably a type of leisure center city called ' I run' in North of Spain) Always good to have a giggle while running The race was certainly undulating with some longer hills at 3 points of the race but again, after the last few hills I encountered in my running, they didn't seem that high, High enough, though, to remind me that since the last 6 months, each time my heart rate goes above 160, I am finding it difficult to breath then feel dizzy, so there you go, I had to walk to get the heart rate down and feel ok again. One day, I will stop going around the world and get it checked, promise ! The enthusiasm of the crowd and the volunteers was amazing, I absolutely loved that old man in his underwear on the terrace of his apartment playing on his drum for us, It was pouring rain at times but they were there with their umbrellas, screaming and shouting 'Venga, Venga, Venga! Animo!!! (which I had to translate to some French runners seriously, guys, what did you think it was dah!) The most memorable moment was obviously the hailstorm I faced mid-race! Unbelievable Really painful on my face so I was running with my hands on my head, but the crowd was still there encouraging us while we were facing it This race is extremely popular in the area. It started 100 years ago and this year was the 55thedition so there are a lot of traditions attached to it. Then, the weather calmed down, I passed the first 5k in 29 mins, then 10k in 1h00, I was trying to remain within that zone and finish in around 2h00-2h05mins for the 20k, Less than 3k to go, I was more on less on track, and that's when we arrived in San Sebastian with a change of weather again and a heavy rain and wind to finish that race in a badass way. I managed to sprint a little in the last km, it was nice to see the City Hall from a distance despite the rain and by that time, the crowd was on fire, Seriously, Londoners, you have competition for the London marathon.
I finished in 2.02.02 , not that great but not so catastrophic, pretty much the reflection of my last 6 months of running, Completely disorientated after the race, I was trying to find the VIP tent where Maud was waiting for me but ended up in tears (a bit of a pattern this year too,sighs.) in the middle of the street till someone picked me up and decided to escort me to where I needed to be, I was then pampered as I have never been after a race !
Around 25% of women participated to the race this year, the organisers are aiming at getting a 50% female participation by 2025 which is why they invited Maud to hear about the #RunEqual campaign, I will certainly come back in 2025 (if not before) and I am hoping to take a few more ELRs with me too ( feminist men welcome too :-P, there are many of you at the club) If this race report doesn't convince you, wait till you see Maud and I's t-shirts on Wednesday night, They are absolutely gorgeous ! (and of course, participants had the choice between a male and a female t-shirt)

Maud: Since Alexandra has already posted about the race I will try not to duplicate too much. Sorry it ended up a bit long anyway...
Last year I wrote an article for the race magazine of the Behobia-San Sebastián. They had just launched their 50/50-25 initiative, which is a commitment to achieving equal numbers of men & women entering the race by 2025. They also invited me to run the race last year, but it was quite short notice and I wasn't able to.
This year they asked me again, and with plenty of time to plan I immediately accepted. It wasn't practical for Peter to come with me due to our parental responsibilities, but Alexandra nobly stepped into the breach.
I was then asked by the local university if I would give a talk the day after the race - I really wanted to say no, but I am trying to get better and less nervous about stuff like that, so I agreed.
I'd been simultaneously really looking forward to it and totally bricking myself about the talk, but at the last minute I nearly had to cancel. Peter's father is seriously ill, and he had to go to Scotland to be with him at short notice. And while our sons are now 17 & 18 we couldn't leave them alone for the weekend given G's fragile mental health, and the possibility that they might lose their granddad while we were both away. Thankfully my mother stepped into the breach and came to stay. I was still pretty uncomfortable about leaving them, but they were in safe hands.
I was very fretful on the plane heading out - not being able to contact my family. But once we arrived, and I knew the my mother had arrived at our house I was able to switch off and trust that they would be OK. We were met by a taxi and taken to the city hall in Sebastián, where due to our flight arriving late we had just missed the race presentation (and the most of the food), but we met some of our hosts, who were all so warm and welcoming that we felt at ease straight away.
On Saturday we went to the race expo at Irun - it's a big race with over 30,000 runners entered. We were met by Arantza from the organising club, picked up our bibs & T shirts (really nice women's fit ones), did some photos and then got the train back to San Sebastián for an amazing lunch - a pintxos bar crawl with Felix from the university.
We'd agreed with Arantza that rather than just take a taxi to the start we would go by train to get the full race-day experience. We were met at the station by Eñaut, had had interviewed me in Newcastle a few weeks ago, and he take some pics of us on the train.
The weather forecast for the whole weekend was pretty awful, and it was indeed a cold, wet and windy morning. The bag drop closed (officially) quite a long time before the start so it was a challenge to keep warm on reasonably dry. Most of the runners had disposable ponchos, but we weren't that well prepared.
I got a pretty good soaking as my wave was walked to the start line, but after that I was pretty lucky, and missed the hailstorm that Alexandra got caught in. I really enjoyed the race itself - I paced it sensibly so as to be able take it all in. In spite of the awful weather the local support was brilliant. Eñaut was there again at the finish line - we confused the marshal by me going back towards the line a couple of times so he could get some more pics.
Then I had to convince a security guard who spoke no English that I needed to go to the VIP tent - Patxi who was supposed to meet had been misled by my negative split. Sadly Haile Gebrselassie was no longer there (Patxi showed me his selfie...), but there was wine and snacks and somewhere dry to change - Arantza had arranged for our bags to be fetched from the truck and brought straight there. Afterwards we went to the post-race reception at a nearby hotel.
Then on Monday I did an interview with a local journalist followed by the talk at Deusto University, which was also streamed to their other campus in Bilbao. Wasn't at all happy with it, but I guess I never am. I was relieved to have Patxi & Arantza alongside me, and they shared the questions at the end. Mighty relieved when it was done.
What a weekend - you couldn't ask for a more friendly bunch of people. We have promised to go back - in 2025 if not before.

Essex Remembrance Half Marathon - 1:33:59
Really happy with another half marathon PB just 7 weeks after the Scottish Half!
Since then I've been training hard for the Dawn to Dusk marathon including going
to track the day after the half and doing 200 miles in October but buzzing that
the hard work is paying off with course PBs at the two Hog Hill races and
Cheshunt XC and a half marathon PB today.
Nice bonus to pick up the pace in those last few miles and sneak a sub 1:34 on
chip timing after my watch recorded 1:34:02.
Good luck to everyone else racing this weekend!

TCS New York City Marathon - Sunday 3rd November 2019

Pictures available in Photo Gallery

Nick Hoult : New York Marathon 2019.
The toughest course of the five marathons I have run but definitely the most enjoyable and memorable. It started on on Staten Island with New York, New York belting out on the loudspeaker and the cannon going off to signal the start of the race. The highlights never stopped.
Brooklyn was a ten mile long street party of gospel choirs, rock bands and I even heard bagpipers at one stage.
Queens was just the same but the mile long bridge to reach Manhattan was eerily silent with no spectators and a tough long climb before dropping down into Manhattan on First Avenue.
Plenty of anti-Trump placards (you are running better than the government, that kind of thing) but an absence of Fancy Dress proving that running a marathon dressed as a Rhino really is a British thing.
Residents in Harlem were dishing out salt in pots (Harlem salt the best in the world) and at this point I passed a man running the race backwards
Central Park was a series of rolling hills and the end was the top of another little climb. Finished in 3.41.57. Aimed for sub 3.40 but knew that was going to be tough for me on this course and was pleased to have run a steady pace without blowing up.
Nice big apple shaped medal that weighed the neck down a bit but three beers Later in a bar with Jonathan and Bernard it all felt so much easier again
