Well done to Teresa and Becky (honorary RntS for the day!) who completed the
Cancer Research UK London Winter Run today.

Teresa beat her time from last year and for Becky it was her first 10k run.

Official Times:
Teresa – 1:19:16

Well done to Abbi and Amberley who both took part in the Norfolk Schools Cross Country Championships.

Good luck to both of them taking part in the finals this weekend.

Abbi will be representing North Norfolk, Amberley Mid Norfolk.

Official Results:
Abbi finished 11th in her age group in 12:05
Amberley finished 14th in her age group in 18:07

Awesome!

I think that word should describe perfectly the fantastic running by Lucy Mc and Glyn yesterday on the 48mile (!) Peddars Way Trail Ultra Marathon.

Both runners looked great at the various checkpoints and finished with a smile (just beating the wind and rain).

Well done to you both, we’re in awe of you!

Official Times:
Glyn – 10:10:16
Lucy Mc – 10:15:36

Wells done to Hayley M who came away with a new 10k PB from the Snetterton Race Track 10k today.

Brilliant Running Hayley.

Official Time:
Hayley M – 45:48

Well done to the hardy RntS who turned out at Reepham this morning to take part in their Cross Country run (approx 8.5k over two laps).

With the early morning frost (and the temperature hovering around 1 deg C) the scenery was magical, but then again, if you’re actually running it, going through the mud pit, crossing the streams and climbing the hay bale wall, I guess you probably didn’t notice!

Well done all. That change of clothes was certainly needed at the end!

Official Times:
Glyn – 48:18.4
Cam – 52:52.7
Allison – 1:06:11.2
Chris P – 1:12:22.7
Kirsty – 1:13:51.4
Charlotte – 1:13:52.0
Hayley J – 1:16:57.7
Vikki – 1:23:37.8

Kudos to Ceri who completed the first lap but retired at that point. Also a mention to Milo Powles who decided not to contest his crown for the muddiest male and stayed clean!

Well done to the RntS who took part in Race 1 of this winter’s Thetford Trails series.

Looks like the weather was nice.  We look forward to seeing the pictures.

Official Times:
Allison – 57:51.2
Adam – 1:01:13.2
Ceri – 1:03:31.8
Chris P – 1:04:28.8
Gail – 1:26:20.3

Much better weather this year for the RntS who donned their fancy dress outfits for the Buxton Fun Run.

Every penny raised goes to Autism Anglia.

A winner in the fancy dress (well done Lucy Mc, fantasticwork and a PB in a box!  Excellent running), lots of great home cooked cakes to refuel and a raffle to win a few bottles on (I’m sure we had some winners!).

Well done everyone.  Next year, maybe we can all dress up as a group?

Congratulation to Glyn for completing the Tween Valley Ultra today.

65km of hilly terrain (1574mtrs of elevation gain!).

Well done Glyn.  A fantastic time considering the terrain.  We look forward to hearing about it.

Official Time:
Glyn – 8:40:33

Much (much!) warmer than last year, with a slight breeze (which got stronger as the race went on) but otherwise a perfect day for a run around Snetterton Race Track (3 times).

This year, was the first year of the Marathon (6 laps) at the track, so the runners for this started early and then the HM runners started about 30 minutes later.  The downside of this, for the Marathon runners, was the fact that the faster of them came upon the masses of the HM runners at the end of their first lap.

Once again, there was live music around the track and we’re pleased to see that a new Strava segment has been created called the Bridge Of Doom Switchback (for anyone who has run the course, you’ll know that the description for this is spot on!).  It doesn’t seem so bad the first time…..

Even with the ‘Bridge Of Doom Switchback’ we all managed PBs.  The training must be working!

Official Times:
Mat – 1:34:18 – PB
Paula – 1:49:24 – PB
Mark – 2:07:46 – PB
Hayley W – 2:08:32 – PB

The first event partaken by members of RntS on a busy Sunday.

This one was also first in a couple of ways, first 10k for Angie and first race event ever for Tasha!

Brilliant running by both who thoroughly deserve their medals and t-shirts.

Official Times:
Tasha – 1:02:56
Angie – 1:15:33
