17 MARCH 2019

All welcome, it is not an official event just a training run so it is run at peoples own risk. We do have younger people taking part who may do 1, 2 or 3 laps. It is up to parents to decide if children should take part. We try to marshal the route on the corners but there are straight sections which are not marshaled.

Couple of changes this year. The start and finish has been moved to the Doncaster Town Fields Sports Club – https://goo.gl/maps/uBwJyor2a9ZSWCrv6 Thanks to Martyn Walter for sorting this for us. We have car parking, toilets and a bar for after.

Dates planned are :

15 October, 19 November, 17 December, 28 January, 18 February, 17 March

Mark Webster got a team of 8 together to do the Cotswolds 24 hour relay. About 3 days before we were due to take part the event organisers cancelled. The team had been planning for weeks and we were gutted not to be taking part.

After a couple of weeks Mark found the Equinox 24 hour relay and 5 or the original team were available and this was booked.

The venue was located at the Belvoir Castle Estate near Grantham and we decided to travel down in 2 VW vans and set up a camp area with tents, gazebo and club flags.

The team consisted of Mark, Andrew, Adam, Derick and Martin. Mark’s son James also came along and helped us with tea making etc..

We had a good camping spot on a corner.

When everything was set up we headed over to the event center and got some takeaway food and used the beer bus. We all decided we were not going to the beer mile and headed back to camp. We then decided to watch the beer mile and as Andrew and Mark had a beer in their hands, and were kind of dressed for running they made the correct choice and jumped into the start area. The start whistle went and about 100 runners downed a pint, then ran a mile as fast as they could. Our 2 runners were amazing and Andrew finished 3rd overall getting on the podium.

We spotted Doncaster Tri Club who had 3 teams at the event and said hi. The 2 clubs supported each other over the race.

Back to camp and an early night. I slept well but some of the other team members were cold.

Got up around 7:30 on race day and Mark made bacon sandwiches which were amazing (sausage sandwiches on Sunday and lots of cups of tea over the weekend). We came up with a running order and headed up to the start. The order was set as Mark, Andrew, Martin, Adam, Derick. Repeat as long as possible.

Very warm day, tough to run in between 12 noon and 6pm. One issue we had was the lack of drinking water on the site, water had to be boiled. So when Janet phoned to say she was popping over with Luke and asked what we needed we were grateful for the water they fetched is. It was great to see Stuart and Karen who popped over to see how we were getting on.

Mid afternoon we checked the team standings and we were 7th for the small team category. We checked again late afternoon and we were in 5th. We also noticed that we were 8th overall out of 909 categories. At around midnight we moved up to 3rd which was a massive shock, we hovered around this position until sunrise and found ourselves in 4th which was our finishing position for small teams (7th out of 909 teams). A brilliant team effort.

Sunday morning the weather changed and at times heavy rain occurred but overall the weather was very good. Thanks to Martyn Walter for the loan of his gazebo.

We had the opportunity to get another lap in but we could not catch 3rd and we were sure the team below us could not catch us so we decided to end out race 23 hours and 52 minutes in to the race.

Mark and Derick both covered 5 laps of 10km so 31 miles each and Andrew, Adam and Martin did 6 laps of 10km so covered 36.2 miles each. All 5 of us covered Ultra Distance (which was the aim before we started) Our average 10km lap time was 51 minutes.

First up, why do I do parkrun? My former coach Paul Brown believed in doing 2 hard runs a week, and the rest of the runs easy. These tactics which cost me nothing (along with some generic marathon training plans from runners world and a couple of books), got me to 2:44 for Marathon, 1:16 for half marathon and 35 for 10k, times I am immensely proud of. I have never run over 2000 miles in a year, I am usually well below this (I simply can not do the miles other runners do without my body breaking down, I would like to).

The 2 hard sessions are track work on Tuesdays (I have run around the Doncaster AC several thousand times doing interval training) and a weekend race, if I have no race then I do a parkrun. This is a tempo / threshold run (the name is not important, just run hard). Sometimes I incorporate it into a long run, or I might do a run before or after doing hills or whatever.

Parkrun is a great event and people can treat it how ever the want, I usually race it but it is great to see people enjoying the event be it running or walking. I have volunteered more times than I have run it although I am catching up with 109 runs now. The other excellent thing about parkruns is the amazing variety of courses, if I want to smash out a fast time then Scunthorpe, tough hill session then Gainsborough. Doncaster is a tough course (and that is good).

Penistone parkrun 31 August 2019, we went with a car full from Donny on a dry and slightly windy morning. Plenty of car parking, toilets in a Tesco near the start. Did not warm up (that is what the first mile is for lol), the other Donny runners did warm up and did some drills, good for them. I wanted to save my energy.

The start is on a grass field, small climb and a lap of the cross country field we use, then out and back on the Trans Pennine Trail. I have a lot of memories of running on the TPT from just over 2 years ago when we went coast to coast with the GB Ultras team. The finish is on the same field as the start but at the opposite corner.

I was not feeling great so started steady, when I got on to the TPT about half a mile in passed a few and kept it going. The out bit was a steady climb. Mile splits were 6:51, 6:12 and 6:02 which got me a time of 19:41 and 4th place. On a different day I would hope to be a bit quicker, fairly fast course. Nice to see some friends from other clubs including Rob, Claire and Craig.

An amazing cafe on site, had a massive sausage sandwich and coffee and ran back to Doncaster, exactly 19 miles from the parkrun to Pastures Lodge.

Beverley parkrun 7 September 2019, me and Rose arrived on a pasture full of cows, visited the pub which is where the toilets and post parkrun refreshments are to be found. Did 0.5 mile warm up and again, not looking to kill myself today.

I liked the look of this course as soon as I arrived, cross country running and undulating. 100% off road. I will run a fast time on this course on the right day.

Started steady (got a bit boxed in but I don’t mind this, suits my tactics 🙂 ) but soon picked up the pace, after 400m in about 8th place and after 800m in 4th place. Loved the gentle undulations, would make a great cross country course. Had to steady it down a bit to avoid a cow. This was a 2 lap course, I used road shoes which were fine on the dry grass.

Finished in 4th place, splits were 6:20, 6:02 and 6:08 with time of 18:55.

Nice bacon sandwich after in the pub.

I have competed in 43 events so far this year (not including 2 duathlons). Racing is not just about training your body, training the mind plays a bigger part thank many people realise, and doing a lot of races means I am completely at ease and free of stress on the start line because I am use to it. It is however a different story at London Marathon, that will never be stress free lol.
