A friendly running club, based in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk.
Great running by Ceri and Chris P who went to their ancestral home to take part today in the Newport Marathon (that will be 2 in 8 days!) and 10K, respectively. It’s a good job that they’ve been doing hill training (even if it was just to get to the start line!)
Official Times:
Ceri – 5:32:57
Chris P – 56:13
Well done to David who continued his brilliant preparations for this year’s Comrades by taking on the 6 lap Longhorn Ultra Marathon.
62k of training in the bag!

I don’t think there’s anything more to be said than Kevin said this morning:
” Ceridwen Howell making history for our Club today. First RntS to run the London Marathon on an EA Club ticket. All the very best to you Ceri. Enjoy, have fun and we are all thinking of you. No pressure! And I do mean that, there is no pressure, just enjoy the experience. “
Well done Ceri. You’ve made us all extremely proud.

A quad of RntS travelled to Linconshire today to take part in the Boston events. A duo on runners in each one.
Apparently, the thing that people remember about these events is the smedll of the cabbages (well, so I was told yesterday)! I wonder if it’s true? Is that how Hayley M, Hayley J and Glyn all managed new PBs, running away from it? (I will also add that it’s advertised as the flattest marathon course in the country!)
Well done guys.

Well done to Cat who traveled down to Brighton to run the BM10k today with her sister Jo.
Looks like the organisers have a busy day ahead (over 4400 runners in the 10k and 16600 in the marathon!)
Nice one Cat.

For those of the RntS who wanted more than just rain, there was Only The Brave this weekend, held at Elveden Estate near Thetford. Two difference routes were available a 6 mile and a 10 mile.
As well as the rain, there was mud. And by the looks of the pictures, lots of it!
The event was held to raise money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance and it looks like it was very successful at doing so.
Well done guys, a well earned bath was needed after that!
Official Times:
Angie (6 mile) – 1:57:55
Marie (10 mile) – 2:50:38
‘Do the Norwich Half’ they said! ‘The weather will be mild and clear’ they said!
Well, they fibbed! After a foggy drive to Norwich, that’s where the weather similarities to the 2018 Norwich HM ended. All was OK, not great, but OK until just after 10:15 (the allotted ‘get into your finish time start positions’ time). That’s when it started, just a few drops, and then it rained. Not heavy rain, but that annoying rain which just soaks you. This didn’t stop until about 12:00 which was enough time to make sure everyone was wet through and there wasn’t enough time to dry off before the end.
Even though the weather wasn’t great, the route was, as usual, scenic (when we could see it) and the hills still come as a surprise (I’m sure the ones at about 13km have grown since last year!).
A good turnout by the RntS with a couple of super PBs (Hayley W and Chris P). Well done guys.
Official Times:
Hayley W – 2:03:26
Mark – 2:12:22
Chris P – 2:27:09
Ceri – 2:27:57
Michelle – 2:39:25
Well done to the night owls Jack and Sophie who took part in the 7k Blickling Night Run this weekend.
Special congratulations to Jack for being the first Junior home.
Great running guys.
Well done to the quartet of RntS who decided they wanted to get down and dirty and take part in the Mud and Mayhem Duathlon today at Thetford.
A 5k run followed by a 12k cycle and then another 5k run.
Official Times:
Ant – 1:26:35
Paul & Mat (Relay) – 1:32:55
Hayley W – 2:04:59
