Cheddlton Pud run and the Christmas Cracker over the roaches.<br />
<br />
The first festival run in the Christmas Calendar was the Cheddleton Pud run. Which is 3 laps around the back lanes in Cheddleton. I had no intention of the doing the race the morning I woke up. As my leg felt a bit tight. So I opted to go to Cave training instead. I went and after I felt great. I then got a text from craig and martin saying they were running. I thought, well I may as well. And thats is what you can not do, do not change your plan, but thats what I did. I should of stayed at home. My legs felt like they had 30 christmas puds in each of them. I felt horrible warming up. This did not bow well. My only hope was that after a mile or so they would come alive.<br />

<br />
This was not the case. After a pretty fast start, my legs felt rubbish, and I was tired from the morning session in the gym. Craig, soon went past, as did a number of runners. after the first mile, I knew I was here for a long day. I slowed down, in the first lap to save my energy. This is unusual as I like to go off fast. My head was a bit of a blur and my legs ached. The only thing that kept me going was the thought that I have never not completed a race. So I just stayed with it. The second lap felt a bit better and I thought I made some time up. Then it went wrong on the third lap, I thought I was going to collapse, lucky I didn't. I was closely followed Mandy Vernon from Trentham running club. She was giving me a right battle, and I had to push and give all my effort to keep her behind. I eventually made it to the finish line just before her and only to find out that the results put her a head. O well.<br />
<br />
I completed the race in 13th in 37minutes and 52 seconds. Craig in 10th in 36:55, martin in 30th in 40:15.<br />

The other Christmas race was the cracker over the roaches.<br />
<br />
I wore a dress to race in, it was light and I think it worked well. We won the team prizes. Craig beat in the race once again and thats that. Martin brought me a pint for wearing the dress.<br />

<br />
Cop Hill Fell race is located in Meltham and organised by Meltham Athletics Club. It's a 7 mile race that consists of two laps.<br />
<br />
The first part of the course is made up of one climb to the reservoir, and then another short climb just before the trig and then a descent back near to the start line along a farm track, the course then repeats until you hit the farm track and head back towards the sport complex where the finish is.<br />
<br />
I travelled up with Gareth Briggs, who had recommended the course and his partner Joanna Hackett.<br />
<br />
For the first time in a while before a race, I felt okay, not that badly injured and not that nervous...Something was a miss I thought.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
I had a quick warm up and few stops to the toilet, there we go everything is back to normal!<br />
<br />
After good luck wishes and banter with Jo and Gaz we were off. Before the race I had a quick look at the start of the course, something that I have only just started to do, in order to be familiar with the start and finish.<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted to go for a quick start as there were a few stiles and also the track was muddy and you could easily turn your ankle. So I went for it. And to my surprise I was leading the race down to the track and till the second stile. Then I let off and two runners went past with easy on the start of the climb. There was no was I was keeping up with them. I started to climb a little harder and faster. I wanted to make the most of the climb and my strength. This worked well and I think I held my position in 3rd until the reservoir. I was pleased with the progress I made as it was about 2miles into the course. Then Gaz went past with another runner, I tried to follow and stick with him. I did until the second climb on the first lap, then his descending got the better of me. I also had another 3 runners around me fighting for sixth/seventh position at the point. I stayed here for while before losing a place on the descent. I really need to improve this area in my running. At the end of the descent and the 1st lap I think I was about 10th. Yep I had lost a lot of places from 1st. O well, that's how I race. Am hoping that the speed and strength will keep building with every race and I hope to keep improving but we will see. We hit the climb that I did on the first lap, I was exhausted, but knew I had to push on, at least I knew the course now. I did, and I dug deep and pushed on. Over taking a couple of runners on the climb. I tried to push harder to build a gap, I did. I hit the reservoir and saw Gaz fighting for third and fourth. I had to concentrate as someone was on my back pressing, eventually I lost out on the descent again. I made my time up on the technical part of the descent and overtook one other runner, that was my position until the finish. I had to work hard on the pacing and sprinting to the finish though, as I was in danger of been over taken.<br />
<br />
I gave my congratulations to the other runners like I usual do, and found out that Gaz had finished 3rd. A cracking race by him. Well done Gaz.<br />
<br />
I thought I had my best race of the season at this race, so I was pleased with my result. Maybe it was the escape from London that made me so determined to run in the countryside and perform so well.<br />
<br />
Gaz finish 3rd in 40:54 and I finished 8th in 42:05.<br />
<br />
Jo enjoyed her race and just missed out on a prize by a minute and finished in 60:16<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed the race and Its one I hope to do again.<br />

British Fell Relays 19/10/14</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
That time of year has come around once again. The biggest social event in the Fell running calendar. This is the British Fell Relays, this year it was held in the Lakes at Middleton Fells on the 19th October. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I helped Gareth Briggs organise the Fell Relay teams this year. We decided to opted for three teams, maybe in retrospect we should of stuck to two. However we wanted to encourage the growth of fell running in the club. And to an extent that did work. We opted for one vets team, and two open teams. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We all decided to travel up on the day, which was fine apart from Alison got a puncture on the way up in her car. Which delayed there arrival a little. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After setting up the tent, getting numbers and tags etc we went for a warm up. It's hard to do this, as it's relays, some people would be running off straight away others would have to wait until the afternoon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was in the third team and running with James Oddy in the pairs leg. We were second in the relay. Tracy was the first in a solo leg (5 miles), us second (10-12miles), then Alison in the Navigation leg with Dave Edge (10 miles) and George Lamplough on the last solo leg about (5 miles). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I not sure what happened with the other legs, as I only saw people come in. So I just describe ours. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We set off chasing the other teams and the first 300metres in the first field was already muddy from the first leg which made the early running tough. I tried to stay with James as much as possible but he was determined to make up some places, which we were doing. We hit the first climb, which was tough, as it dragged on and it was runnable so we had no chance of catching our breath. we then hit the ridge which had more rolling hills, again all runnable, again we tried to catch our breath. After a quick regroup at the checkpoint we headed down a descent through some heather and lose stones, then ran along the edge of a cliff, this can only be describe as running along a knifes edge. We then went down the steepest part of the descent, I took this nice and steady, as I wanted to save my legs and because am not as confident as James on the descents he was flying. After a long and leg aching descent we had to climb back up the steepest part of the course. It was a killer. the wind was coming in from the side, trying its best to pull us to the bottom of the hill. A chance to eat jelly babies and chance to get our breath. James did the same, we climb and made places up. The Clag was coming in, and it was harder to see the course and the direction of the other runners. After the howling wind failed to stop our attempts to the top of the hill we reached the next checkpoint with zero visibility. I had to get the map out to start to figure out the route to next checkpoint was. This is something am not very skilled at, so I took my time, before settling on the route. We stayed running on the edge of hill and followed the contours parallel with stream. We then went down hill to the next checkpoint. That route came at a price and James had hurt his ankle and I had hurt my hand falling in the stream to the check point. James determined to carry on, wanted to get moving, we did after I looked at the map and settle on the best way back. We did this and stuck to route, though both of our feet were worse for ware. We lost some places as we had to slow down, a run into the finish and we were done. That was hard work, but we managed to do it as a team. James did extremely well as he came in to cover someone who dropped out due to an injury and he was only just getting back to fittness after an injury himself. </div>

<br />
This is the second time I ve done this race, the first time I did it with Gareth Briggs. This year he decided to do another race, so I arrived with the Craig and Martin.<br />
<br />
After registration in the old scout hut and a half mile warm up to the start we were on the start line. I saw Roger Taylor and his friend who was doing her first fell race. I can't think of a better fell race to do as your first. Good choice Roger. Roger is a good friend and he runs for Mercia and lives in Stone. Mark Platt who also runs for Staffordshire Moorlands also made his way up to the race. Hes nice bloke and has been running for a while.<br />

<br />
After the usual race destructions we were under way. I decided not to go off to quick this time, as knew how hard the first climb is from the previous year. However I found myself in second. I didn't plan this, and I didn't think the start was as fast as the previous year. I managed to hold onto second for more than 400 metres which again is unusual. And this changed my race plan. I decided to slow down on the first climb, and let a few past me, and for the fact I didn't feel that great. We climbed and climbed up past the aircraft wreckage to the first checkpoint (James's Thorn?). At this point I felt tired and not that fresh. I feared the worst but pushed on. Craig went flying past, I chased for a while only to lose his super quick steps. My head lost itself again and I lost some more places. The peat was taking my energy and I could keep my pace. Once I reached the highest point of the race at Lower shelf Stones the long descent was upon me, and that was were I lost sight on craig. I pushed on through the peat and the bogs crossed the stream at Dowstone Clough and tried to put my cadence in practice. I got to to Lightside, my favourite part of the race, the steepest descent and throw down there and made a place back and ran in on the farm track towards the finish, and almost got cramp again.<br />

<br />
Myself, Craig, and Martin decided to carry on racing.<br />
<br />
We enjoy running, we enjoy the banter, we enjoy the sport and we enjoy the land. So the next chapter in the adventure took us towards Sheffield and close to the burbage edge.<br />
<br />
Here is the link to the website:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.longshawsheepdog.co.uk/fell_race">http://www.longshawsheepdog.co.uk/fell_race</a><br />
<br />
We arrived to a muddy field in a cold and wet miserable day. O the joys of running in the rain. None of us knew what to expect and how difficult the race was. We had just turned up to take part in the race. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
After a brief warm up, a close look at the competition. we were ready to go. I have no idea who the best runners are or who am competing against until the race starts. Craig on the other hand has some sort of memory log of every runners profile and could probably tell you their shoe size. Martin is humble and doesn't get drawn into battles until the race starts. So in that sense he is like me. However am sure he and craig are making a database on who's who in fell running. Martin loves his research.<br />
<br />
After a very excitable commentary to the race instructions from the guy who commentates on the dog trails and the start of the race is under way.<br />
<br />
Nervous hold me until the first few steps. And then they just turn into energy. I some ways I hope this goes and in other ways I hope it stays.<br />
<br />
So, a dash and a sprint to the exist of the fete. Into to some woods and several road crossings we hit burbage edge. I went off quick, so I was in a good position. Running over the burbage edge was like a fell runners dream to me. As I love running from rock to rock and path to path. It suits my style of running if runners have a style. I switch off and just become apart of the landscape. Its easy running. Once we got to the waterfalls and bridge we came back on ourselves towards the Higger Tor. More enjoyable running, though it was boggy and the paths were narrow, so it made it hard to over take. One the way to Higger, I followed another runner and went the wrong way slightly. So I lost places. Craig made it in front of me. I shot over the river that I should not of crossed and climbed Higger Tor with grit to make my places back. I did, apart from two. Craig offered me encouragement, which really helped as he doesn't say anything during races, so it meant alot. I pushed on, hit the down hill and decided I should go for it. After Winyard Nick I felt good and started to fly downhill, this didn't last long as I hit a hidden stone in the heather and went flying, lucky the runners behind didn't fall over me. Two had passed. I thought I broke my big toe again. I decide to run steady for a while and then I though Its two miles to the finish the quicker I get back to quicker I can see a first aider. So I decided to run with pace on the balls of my feet. This hurt...I carried on and caught the two that overtook me. I stayed with them until the last field in the finish as I didn't want to get lost. lucky the finish was uphill. I managed to pass both them towards the finish. I went straight to the first aid tent.<br />
<br />
After lots of ice and some reassurance that my toe wasn't broken I calmed down. Martin and Craig found me and offered help in the form of a pub and pint. I accepted and off we went.<br />
<br />
I finished 9th 45minutes and 40 sec, Craig 12th in 46minutes and 15 seconds, Martin 26th in 49minutes and 30 seconds.<br />

<br />
A rare trip up to the lakes to race, this was my first lakes fell race. You start to fear the worst when you see the mountain grow as your driving on the motorway. And for those that know me, my nervous started to step it up a notch, so there were a couple of stops on the motorway!<br />
<br />
I travelled up with a Craig Jeffery, Gareth Briggs, and Martin Dearden all from Staffs Moorlands running club. This made for an enjoyable journey because of the banter. Laughing definitely helps settle nervous.<br />
<br />
We arrived at the Wasdale and it was no surprise that the race was attached to a village fete. A gently warm up and a quick look at the map and a technical tongue wag with Gaz about the the route as he has done it before. And I was set for me race plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
This was the first time race registration also took place in a horse carriage. The race is organised by Howgill Harriers.<br />
<br />
After some more banter about Craig news shoes and my toilet stops, we were lining up at the start line. After the open speech we were off:<br />
<br />
A quick step description of my race.<br />
<br />
Run downhill, stay in touch with Craig and Gaz. Gaz pushes on. Over road then cross small foot bridge into field that can only be described as a Trolls toilet, a horrible stinky bog. Out of the peat into first climb, push on, try to stay with Gaz. Fail. Push. Heart bursting through lungs. Must push on Climb. Reach the top. Windy, Cold. Rain 10 miles to the right of me. Bad stomach for the first time during a race. Press on the rolling hills, the loop of course is revealed on the ridge. A horrid thought, it was better in the shadows. Keep pushing. No idea of millage. No idea of place. Hit downhill, catch breath. Craig is catching me. push on the climb. Reach checkpoint at the trig with Craig and Macclessfield runner. Downhill push and push to stay with craig downhill speed, fail. Catch on climb to trig. Me and Craig overtake Macclessfield runner. Hit the trig, downhill to trolls bog and finish. Craig pushes on and left me for dead. My head goes south. Exhausted. Fall over, roll and roll, pick myself up. lost sight of runners on unmarked course. Follow my nose. take a wrong line. Meet Walker who directs me. Thank you. Back on track, through small wood and stream. Wet feet. through the peat bog, gain on runners in front. Pass one. The other kicks to hard. uphill finish. Reach the man with watch collapse on the ground. Exhausted. The most effort I've ever put in a race. I felt good, before race, not during. Felt great to finish. Good to see Gaz and Craig before me. Martin's soon after.<br />
<br />
Gareth Briggs finished 3rd overall in 01:00:44<br />
Craig Jeffery finished 8th in 01:04:21<br />
I finished 10th in 01:06:05<br />
Martin finished finished 30th in 01:12:56<br />
<br />
This was a great race and an enjoyable one, well organised, great tea and cake. Great company.<br />
<br />
We also managed to win the team prize for Staffordshire Moorlands.<br />

<br />
This year I opted to do the half tour of Bradwell, rather then the full tour that usually cripples me. The half is 15/16 miles long and takes the first part of the route from the full tour until you get to the Hollin's Cross and then it goes across the ridge until you join the route on the full tour. Then the Half goes back to start/finish line on its own route once you hit the car park checkpoint near Lady-bower reservoir. And this is the bit I didn't know, as I didn't do a recce.<br />
<br />
I arrived just in time to get myself sorted and also meet up with Janson Heath who was running the full tour along with Frank Murphy. Lisa, Janson's wife was also there. Myself and Janson were running for Team Raidlight, though in separate races.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
Janson started before me, so I never saw what happened in his race, he is a quality runner and has improved dramatically over the last year, he is winning races, and getting on the podium more often than not. He has a really good training plan and sticks to it. He also completed the Bob Graham round recently. Here is a link to his running exploits.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://jansultra.wordpress.com/">http://jansultra.wordpress.com/</a><br />
<br />
As for my race I started off really slow as I didn't want to burn out, and I hoped that I would have enough energy to be able to make it to the last part of the race with a bit in my legs. Well that was the plan. However once I hit the top of Cave Dale, just outside of Castleton I decided to pick up the pace, purely because I love the route. The climb out of the village and up to Hollins cross took its toll and my legs, as they became a bit heavier. At this point I was running somewhere around 12th with a group of 5. Myself and another runner let them press one, as they were pushing hard. after the down hill section through the woods before the reservoir, I felt tired and feared the worst for the cramp in my legs. I decided to ease off a little and I then got caught by another runner.<br />
<br />
I got to the car park, had a little break and studied the map a little, and carried one and managed to catch the runner that had just passed. We than got to a folk in a path and we were both unsure of the route due to an extra footpath in our location... He went one way I went the other. Lucky I went the right way, and then carried one. Just before the finish I came across the three that had made a break half way through the race and decided I had to push my legs. They had made an error in their map reading, I hadn't. We also got caught up by Dark Peak Runner. Still not taking any chances I carried on looking at my map, and decided to keep an eye on the dark peak runner, as he would hopefully have locally knowledge. He did, and then it become a fight to finish line between 6-7 of us. I tried to push but got cramp, and had to slow down. Lucky the three that got lost somehow managed to take the wrong turn into the finishing straight so I managed to finish in front of them.<br />
<br />
I finished in 7th for Team Raidlight in 2:21:22<br />
<br />
Janson Heath finished the full tour in 15th for Team Raidlight in 6:06:14<br />

<br />
The summer series is a great social event for anyone living in staffordshire and beyond. There are nine races in total and they happen every thursday evening from the the end of May, I think. The races are organised by Staffordshire Moorlands Athletics Club. <br />
<br />
Its a great chance to do a short sharp run in the middle of the week and to catch up with follow runners. <br />
<br />
As well as competing in the series for a second time, I also organised a race. In order to be included in the league standings at the end of the series you have to complete 7 out of the 9 races. This is harder than you think. As its demanding to race every week. So my advice is to plan which seven or eight races to do, as I always feel you need a rest in the middle somewhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
Its a great opportunity for me to continue my banter with other runners from the likes as Craig Jeffery, Jason Burgess, Dean Windsor, Dale Colclough and Frank Murphy as well as many others.<br />
<br />
My favourite races in the series are Shutlingsloe, Wetton and the Roaches. Shutlingsloe is my strongest race in the series as it's a simply climb and back down again. I love the roaches as this where I do a lot of my training, and Wetton is just a fantastic course in a beautiful landscape, and the climb up past Wetton Mill is a challenge but offers the best view.<br />
<br />
I also designed the t-shirts for this years series. It was in the form of an Ibex Mountain Goat. One of my favourite animals.<br />
<br />
The series was a tough start as I was injury and missed the first races, and I wasn't race fit. The first race I did was Wetton, the toughest out of the series. Lots of rolling hills, I finished 9th in the end. The next race was Oakamoor, a good race in the first few sections but the run in to end is a drag on long the railway line. It does make for flat out sprint finish should you find yourself among other runners. Buxton was the third race, I enjoyed this one, two loops around the forest that surrounds Solomans Temple. A landmark in the land and overlooks people coming to the town. The next race was the roaches, I managed to finish ninth in this race. The next races was Shutlingsloe and I managed to finish 5th for Team Raidlight, who I represented in the series. I also managed to beat Craig Jeffery for the first time this year. He is top runner and a top guy. Again I have a lot of respect for him, as he knows his stuff and clearly shows it when he races. The last race I did was Rudyard, which is a race around the lake. And its a tough one as its a sprint all the way around. I finished 12th in this one.<br />
<br />
Overall I managed to finish 8th, beaten by craig who finished in 6th, Martin Dearden finished in 18th overall.<br />

<br />
This is a local race, located in Langley near Macclessfield, it's a short 3mile race which is attached to a village fete. Village Fetes are a common sight among fell races, and there a welcome sight at the end of the race with plenty people watching to do, and tea and cakes are in abundance. Every fell runners little dream.<br />
<br />

<br />
I arrived with James Oddy, another Staffs Moorlands runner. We had a quick warm up and lined up. I decided to go off fast and try to make the most of the climb. I had no idea how long the climb was, but I was told it was 0.5 miles. I thought I could run this, and set off strong and in the lead. After 0.5miles I could not see the top of the hill, but carried on. After 1mile I could not see the top, my legs were dead, I had no power to keep the lead and lost places. Once I did reach the top I think I was about 7th.<br />
<br />
Lesson learnt, do not trust anyone, know the route, do a recce. <br />
<br />
On the way down hill, I made a few places but could not catch follow team Oddy to the finish line.<br />
<br />
After a few pints and some people watching we departed.<br />
<br />
I finished 5th and Oddy finished 4th I think.<br />

<span style="background-color: #fafafa; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">This is organised by a Staffs Moorlands runner Ian Ankers, a super nice chap. </span><br />
<br />
This is my first navigation race, and I wanted to do it to force myself to learn how to read a map and use a compass. Dale Colclough showed me how to do it before the race. Now time like the present.<br />
<br />
After a quick plan and chat with John Whilock on what route to take to the marked checkpoints we were standing on the starting line.<br />
<br />
I decided that I wanted to go my own route and not follow anyone, as I wanted to learn the hard way. I certainly did, I was last at the first checkpoint. I had a lot of work to do to finish in a respectable position. Lucky the other checkpoints were areas that I kind of knew. So I hoped that my local knowledge would come in useful.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
It did, I decide to run free, off paths, off tacks and take direct lines through woods and fields. And where possible to take an easy line.<br />
<br />
I had no idea what position I was in, but I knew I was moving up the field and moving up the fields themselves. With the navigation and the map reading I felt okay during race, as I had a chance to catch breathe within this 15mile race.<br />
<br />
Towards the end of race I caught up with Dale, as he took a wrong turn somewhere. We stayed together and pushed on to the finish. It was nice to run together as Dale gave me lots of advice when I first started running, I have a lot of respect for him as he has a lot of knowledge of the land and sport.<br />
<br />
I finished 10th in 02:28:47 and Dale finished 11th in 02:29:01. Whilst John won the race in a time of 01:58.<br />

Invited by follow team mates from Staffs Moorlands to do this iconic race in the white peak. I was hoping for a better result than Edale Skyline...<br />
<br />
I rested for this race and got excited, as I always do. After a brief warm up in the chilling wind. We were lined up and good to go. The first climb was the toughest in the race but a most enjoyable one, as you came see all/most of the runners at this point. Gareth Briggs, James Wood, Craig Jeffery and Jason Burgess all ahead of me. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
I tried to put a bit of effort towards the end of the climb, before been surprised by another climb straight after. After this we were running along the barren and exposed grounds of the peaks. running along paths, tracks, and jumping from stone to stone before going down a steep descent and then back up another long climb the last of the race. This hurt my legs but I carried one to hold my place that I had worked hard to keep. I couls feel the breath of another runner behind and the last descent I knew I would be caught. I was right and was down a place. Lucky there was a climb to the finish, where I managed to gain my place back.<br />
<br />
Its easy to see why this is one of best races in the year, plenty of like minded runners and a great route in beautiful countryside.<br />
<br />
<br />
I finished 34th.<br />
<br />
Gareth Briggs in 11th, Jason Burgess in 14th, Craig Jeffery in 20th, James wood in 26th, Robin Hope in 50th.<br />

<br />
<br />
Having completed the route on a recce day with Janson Heath earlier in the year. I realised two things, one that Edale Skyline is a beautiful race, in terms of the landscape and location. Two, that my love of the landscape would get me through the race, that I had pre entered. As this is one tough cookie... During my snowy recce with Janson, I nearly cried towards the end of the route. The pain that came to my concrete legs was heavy felt.<br />
<br />
I went to the race with Gareth Briggs, a follow Staffs Moorlands runner. Excitement gripped my hands and turned my stomach at least four times... A brief chat and the thought of this marmite race was underway. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
I set off to fast, so much so I was leading for all of the 50metres. And as soon as I hit the climb I pulled myself back in. As it was another 4 hours before I hit the finished line. I enjoyed the start off the race, the new route burnt and ate my legs away, due to the sheer steepness. A sledge would of been perfect for that descent. On the way up to Hollins Cross I saw Janson, who came to support. It was nice to see him. At this point, I felt sick and tired and I was only half way around the course. I managed to pull myself together to pick up my pace, until I hit the last stretch towards Ringing Roger. It was at this point I got cramp and could not shift it. I had to crawl all the way back to the finish line and sometimes I had to sit down. This was torture and one of the most difficult races I have done.<br />
<br />
My finish time was 4hrs:4m:49 in 115th. Cramp killed my race result.<br />
<br />
Gareth Briggs finished 6th in 3hrs 14minutes.<br />

English Championship<br />
05/04/14<br />
<br />
This was my first race in the English Championship, excited is a one word, nervous is another.
It was a chance to put myself up against the best in the Country and see how I compared.<br />
<br />
I travelled up with Lisa Heath who was supporting Janson Heath, her partner, both run for Trentham running club, though Janson runs for Ambleside on the Fells. Both are good friends of mine and are really good ultra runners. I have learnt a lot from both in the last year I have known them. Many Thanks. The Journey to and from the race was no different. A chance to exchange ideas and thoughts about running.<br />
<br />
I was running for Staffordshire Moorlands AC once again. I hoped the heart of the roaches and the hill reps from Hen Cloud would carry me forth...<br />
<br />
Pendle is known for its witches, so I was hoping that some witch and her magic would cast a spell for me to fly up the hill and back down. Sadly I was mistaken. The course is pretty much an up and down race. With one big long climb, a little drop and a really breath taking, heart in mouth, blood to the head, pain to legs, steep climb to the trig and back to the start. A pacey race for sure.<br />
<br />
I meet up with Janson and follow staffs moorlands runner Martin Dearden also from Leek, after good warm up, we will ready for the start. We were ready as we would ever be.
I also meet a follow runner from Leek called Will Neill, an extremely talented runner. An exchange of hellos and wishing each other luck we were all ready to go. Along with the other 400 runners in the Village of Barley.<br />
<br />
Lucky for both you and me Will's Dad and Sister who had just completed her Ladies race for Staffs Moorlands were filming. So I don't have to bore you with all the details.
Will's sister Becky finished 43rd in the time of 47minutes and was third in her Category.<br />
<br />
Heres my quick description of the race:<br />
<br />
Breath, Wish good luck, avoid car and all the other runners, one foot in front then the other at wide spaces, as fast you can. Admire the Reservoir. Tactic...Maybe...No. Avoid that women with the camera and that puddle. Go as fast as possible. Wow that hurts, reach climb, dying on my feet. Chest forward, climb, breath. Walk, run, walk run, repeat. Seriously how long does this climb go on for!?! Finally, release legs on the down hill. breath avoid the rocks and stones. Receive the applause for acting like child or a crazy man. Yes I feel like a caveman, hit the big stupidly stupid big steep climb, pull and rip the grass, pull on the rocks. Am rubbish at climbing at pace. Repeat and wonder why am here. Get overtaken by a huge amount of runners that appear to be rest of the field behind. Reach the top of the trig, go round it and back down on big downhill. Watch footing, try to make up places. Can't. Stick with the runners.
Reach the pavement, make my move. Increase pace on the road and on the last little bit of ascent overtake approximately 20 runners. Boom! I have found my inner cat self. Continue to push, and catch the last two runners in front of me before the line. Must of finish with 5 minute miles...<br />
<br />
Will had a great run and all his training pays off in the races. Janson, is currently training for the Bob graham round, so he is doing more longer training session, so I imagine this was a bit of shock, he had a great race, as did Martin who has just started competing with the races with me. Good effort everyone.<br />
<br />
Will Neill finished 16th in 35mins and 33 seconds<br />
I finished in 99th at the time, now 101 in 41minutes.<br />
Janson finished in 44minutes and 43<br />
Martin finished in 47minutes and 05 seconds<br />
<br />
Pleased to have made the top 100, disappointed to be now out of it. By ONE place. O well next year.

National Cross Country Nottingham 2014
Here is a video taken from William Neill. This is far better than me explaining what happened.
Amazing start to the race to a three lap course. Total distance was 7 miles I think.
I finished 684 in 47minutes and 13 seconds and something out of about 1700 runners.
Which I was pleased about so the club celebrations later on in the night went on till 3am...

<span lang="EN-US">It’s a Feb 2014 and am back in Shropshire
to race at the Long Mynd Fell Race. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Its been a while since I did the Long Mynd
Hike, around 18months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Long
Mynd was one of the reason why I started to get into running in the first
place. A broken promise never fore filled, add in regret and you have the
reason why I started. Its not to say I didn’t enjoy running in the first place.
I just never really thought about running for running’s sake before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I suppose you don’t until you hit with
the reality of completing a 50 mile hill race… Probably something I should of
took a bit more seriously. I drastically over estimated it. I also
underestimated how much I would become to love the sport of trail, fell and
ultra running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its that reason why
am back at the Long Mynd, this time with more knowledge and more friends.
Though that doesn’t help you complete a challenging course, it does help a
little. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I traveled down with Gareth Briggs, Tracy
Dean and Ian Ankers. We also meet up with Dale Colclough and Will Neill. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The route is class as AL, meaning that is a
long route generally 10miles plus and also it tough, bloody tough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was my first AL fell race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lets hope I last the race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d finished other fell races, with the
Roaches been the next toughest I’d done before which is a BL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Given plenty of advice from Dale, Gaz,
Tracy, and Ian we will set to start the race where the visitor centre is. Which
is a National Trust one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
started in a middle of valley and lead up towards the Long Mynd vallery across
the top to Pole Bank. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This was the only part of the course that I
knew the rest was blind to me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The whistle went for the start and we were
off over the first hill with the sun on our backs. I started steady, and took
it easy for the first two miles or so. At least what I thought was steady, I
was still tired. I knew I was going to be in for hard race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the start was the gently part of the
course compared to other half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We climbed up the first bank, legs and arms
pumping to move the body forward. Words of encouragment came from Dale “look at
young Bethell climb the hill, just like his brother (Forest Bethell).” That
motivated so I moved up through packed reached the first climb and ran like kid
to a candy shop all the way back down the hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The climb towards Pole bank was tricky and
I was trying to keep up with Tracy Dean. I stayed with her just before check
point two and she was and off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
holded myself back at this point as I didn’t want to start to go a little
harder just yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We moved through heather and did some zig
and zag down the side of a steep hill, the approach was much like a skier.
Though a lot slower and I was the slowest descender compared to my follow fell
runners. I always loose places going down hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still work to be done it that department. After that descent
it’s a bit of blur where the course went, it was through streams, climbing
sheep trods, cracks in the valley and more heather descents until we reached
checkpoint 5. </span></div>

Tracy Dean looking good, approaching check point five</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Now Checkpoint 5 – 6 was really enjoyable
running and one that I have enjoyed the most compared to other fell races that
I have completed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We followed a
stream all the way to checkpoint 6 on a route that is best describe as rocky
trail surface with odd twist and turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I must of enjoyed as I began to overtake people and once I reached
checkpoint 6 looked towards the next climb, I could see Tracy. I tried to catch
but she was to far ahead. At this point many people were taking different
lines. I didn’t have time to grab my map. Instead I just moved forward and
tried to remember the line from the map I looked at before the start of the
race. I decided to follow tracy and climb the steepest part of the hill instead
of going right and up like a few other people. The problem was I climbed the
painstaking hill, managed to overtake people but lost them when I reach the
summit. I blindly ran in the direction of the course on a trodden footpath.
After two minutes of running I realised I was by myself and everyone had taken
a different line. Then I looked a bit further a head and saw the rest of the
field. I decided to run straight to them. I did this but in my hurry I ran into
a blackthorn tree. Oops. That hurt and slowed me a little. I carried on
regardless and hit the bottom and saw checkpoint 7. I still haven’t decided if
I lost time or if I made time. It was close either way. I think I may of made
time. If just a fraction. As I didn’t recognize anyone else around me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did see Tracy again, so it would have
been a case of minutes. I then headed for checkpoint 8 another zig zag climb.
At this point I felt a bit of cramp in my leg. So I decided to slow down and
stretch a little. I took two minutes and lost a few places, but then started to
run again. I seemed okay after this. Well that and the magic of salt and
vinegar crisps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was now for the hardest climb of the
course to checkpoint 9 on yearlet summit. And boy did this hurt…It took a while
to get to tope of this. Probably ten to fifteen minutes. Maybe I took the wrong
route. Though I did manage to catch and over take people climbing up there. My
ascent is far better than my descent. That’s for sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Off to the finish then. Well this was
easy said than done. I could see a few runners in the distance so I headed
towards them. I passed a friendly face of Mark Davis who was watching the race
and the course. Thanks the encouragement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At this point I was leading group of runner that had just climbed to
CP9. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to follow my nose,
but wasn’t sure so I slowed and waited for runners to catch in hope that they
knew. They didn’t. Lesson always know the course or have map to hand. We then
headed towards a car park and saw some other runners and headed towards the
finish line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Out of breath, tired and worn out with a
blackthorn stuck in my ankle I was pleased to of made it back safe and sort of sound.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I did this race last year when it was a
slightly longer route, it was 18miles of fast fell running and it took me 3hrs
and 25minutes to complete it. I was in a lot of pain after 12 miles. I had
cramp in both legs and remember walking most of the return leg because I set
off too fast on the first leg. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was another marker race that allows me
to see if I have improved during the year. My first full year of running.
Though this time the course was 3miles shorter. It did still include a river
crossing and rollercoaster route of up and down and more of the same. So I
wanted to hit the 3hr mark. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I arrived at Meerbrooke with Tracy Dean
after she kindly agreed to give me a lift to the race. Thanks Tracy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Otherwise I would have been a bit
bored. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Another cold winters morning, but no rain
or cloud in sight. It was a lovely day and everyone was excited about the race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tracy, Jon, Dale, Janson, Mike, Will and
Geoff were all taking part in the race. All of which have given me advice over
the last few months. I would like to thank them for helping me improve my
running. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simon Bailey was lining
up again as was Will Neill and Simon Harding. That would be an exciting race to
watch at the front. Sadly I want get to see it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We set off and I tried to stick with Jon
and Janson, we hit the muddiest field in central England. I thought the passing
clouds race was a dirty affair well I was wrong, this was. This was proven when
Jon lost his shoe in the mud in the first field. This was the only time I was
in front of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to stick
to Janson and Jon, but let go of them during the main climb to roaches. I
thought I better race my only race and not get cramp again. So I let off the gas
and hope that I would catch them later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was doing okay on the ascent and managed to over take about three or
four people on the way to the trig point. This was all undone on the descent
through the woods towards Gradbach. It’s clear what I need to work on… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We hit the river, I lost a few more places
as I enjoyed a paddle. This was going to be a chore, I tried to push on and
went for a run and walk approach on most of the ascents. Again I managed to
catch people on the ascent but lost ground on the descents. This was partly due
to my shoes, I had opted for trail shoes rather than mudclaws. This is because
I don’t own any. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We head to the cat and fiddle road and
towards Shutlingsloe the half way point and the toughest climb. It was at this
point I saw Simon, Will and Simon all pass me by with about 3 minutes between
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I carried on and tried to
push on the ups but started to go with the hand knee walk on Shutlingsloe,
though I did manage to over take two doing this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I did lose out on the down hill again… So annoying, when
this is suppose to be the easier part, well so they say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the down hill I see my brother, give
him a high five and carry on. I had a such a slow descent its an embarrassment
to fell running… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I carry on down the hill and repeat the
course again this time heading back to the start. At this point I was racing
against three people, after a bit of battle I emerged on top and managed to
stick my overtaking when I got Roach End. It must have taken me 4 miles to over
take a couple of runners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did
loose time of the river crossing due to wrestling match.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I hit my final mile or so back
through the farmers field I was caught by another runner, who said he had got
lost at a turning. My race was back on, but right when I need my legs to go I
got cramp and lost my shoe in the mud. I stumbled back to the finish as if I
had been on a night out. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This year I wanted to do both the passing
clouds and the roaches, both of which are races just outside of the Leek. I do
a lot of training around the area and wanted to see if that would help in any

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A change of clothes and a changes of tops,

<span lang="EN-US">The whistle went we were off and my feet
started a petter patter, petter patter wet feet and a glance of who’s around
and try to move my legs. Gareth, Robin and Jon all go off fast, as does Jack

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I never expected this to be in my running
calendar, but I got invited to join Staffordshire Moorlands Athletic Club, I
accepted. As I feel am a Moorlander at heart and because of the runners that
they have had or have currently got. Am hoping to pick up on some advice to
improve my running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The likes of
William Neill (GB U23), and Simon Bailey (British Fell Champion) have ran for
the club and Tracy Dean (GB), Jack Ross, Gareth Briggs, Jason
Burgess (UK mudrunner champion) and Robin Hope all run for the club. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I also wanted to get to know more runners
in the area, so I saw this as an opportunity. Due to my success in the summer
series, I was asked to run for the club for the Fell Relay in Llanberis, as
part of the British Fell Relays. All the best runners from around the UK would
be here, it’s an excellent opportunity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I was running in the mixed/open category
for the club, and paired up with Jason Burgess to run a 9 mile course, in
Llanberis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was obviously a problem
for me as I wasn’t as quick as Jason but am also not used to this kind ascent
and descent in a fast paced race. With over 1000 metres I was a bit worried.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had my work cut out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also had a problem with my right
knee, tendonitis. So I wasn’t looking forward to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My brother was also runner with the V40 men team, with Robin,
Jon, Craig, Dave and Gareth. This gave me some comfort and some assurance, as I
would have his experience and support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He had recently joined the club too, just after me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After a night out, race day was upon us, as
was the rain. And it didn’t stop all day. This made for interesting running but
also very tough conditions. And me and Jason just happened to be doing the
longest route… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After Kerry’s brilliant opening leg of the
5mile route around quarry she looked fresh and ready to put us in a good
position I thought and she did. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After 45 minutes we touched hands and we were ready to go. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">And this was my story of Leg two:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Wet, damp, cold, nervous, but eager to
please my aim was to run with one foot in front of the other at a fast pace and
repeat over and over again. Do this and I might just get round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rain, hitting face, sheltered in the
valley so far, feared the worse on top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Slight climb over into Coed Mawr, shouts of “get past them Dave, I
follow” passed a few people, road, step road, pace slows try to keep up with
Jason. “come on Dave” and tired response of “okay” after 1 mile in. This wasn’t
good. Pick myself up and tried to stick to Jason, he knew it was going to be slow
with me, after this point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uphill,
lose my footing and slip a little. Hold my balance by some kind of hidden dance
move. Through mud and over limestone, running through self made streams. Leap
over many puddles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Past the palm
trees, descend and try to stick with Jason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“that’s it Dave keep going, we can get them on the ascent”
My thoughts to this. You have to be joking am knackered already. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wasn’t… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As we approached Moel Cynghorion (700ft), I
was knackered, Jason still fresh and hungry. Went like a bullet from a barrel,
he shot up the Mountain in double fast speed. Now I know why he does so well in
races and I don’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I must improve
my hill climbing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was amazing
to watch as I continue to struggle to move my legs and breathe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I take on gels and water, in a effort
to get back into it. This was lost and so was all my hard work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like a trail of ants the leg two
runners climbed with my struggling and lagging behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many Pass…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Wet, cold, windy, exhausted, lost sight of
Jason. Push on, try to get into a better mind set, push on, try harder, try
harder to no avail. Break down, this was this first time I lost my heart in a
race. I was losing the will to carry on, but I must keep going to catch Jason
and for club.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Push on, fight
against the wall and the vertical climb that almost pushes you back over due to
its steepness. Minutes pass, the clock times, the pressure builds, break down
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rebuild one foot in front
of the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reach the top to
meet my running partner, shouting “come on Dave” I try to push but I tired. My
legs ache and I am tired. Must carry on, not for the race for survival. Horizontal
rain and 70mph winds hit my face, the coldness burns and the rain stings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Run as fast as possible, descend, start
the roller coaster of the leg two, up, down up down, aim for checkpoint 3 on
Foel Coch. Really tired, my words are “Sorry Jason”, I am Sorry”. Response “its
for the fun, It’s a laugh come on”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Down, Up, dehydrated, Foel Gron, climb the staircase, roll down the
hills. Last climb, could of pushed hard, misjudged the race, reach Moel Eilio
(best sounding Welsh name), should be a song title.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A cry of relief and the a roar of “Lets F**King do this from
my heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through the gate, run,
run fast, this is what I can do. Need to catch the other runners, make up the
places. A new sense of confidence was found. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So it’s been a year and a day since
completing the Long Mynd Hike, a 50 mile race that covers the Shropshire and
Welsh borders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To this day, I
wonder how I completed the hike. I do have my theories but wont go into them
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However it is the only ultra
race I have done and finished thinking I could do an extra mile or two here. I
still had energy left in the tank to continue a few more miles. Even Helen
Skelton told me at the finish that I looked fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never has this happened again…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So you can probably tell that the high peak
40 become a bit more a challenge than I expected. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I set off to fast, but I thought it was a
comfortable pace at the time, I was wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Preparations for the race didn’t really go so well either,
having only done the first 15 mile in a recce. I was also struggling with my
knee in my previous race (ipstones five) and I hadn’t ran before since then. So
with five miles in the bag and some hill reps it wasn’t the idea start to a 40mile
hike that include Man Tor, The Lords seat and the tricky work at Cave
Dale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My confidence was blown out
of the water before the ship had even set sail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I went ahead anyway, as my aim for the year
was to compete in the run further series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I felt pretty good hitting the first couple of checkpoints. I even felt
good running down some of the downhill’s, I remember thinking that I could be
in for a good race as I descended from the Lords Seat, passing about 5 or 6
runners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Once the down hill came around into Castleton
(Hollins Cross) I hit a stone and lost my balance and rapidly adapted my
footing in order not to fall. I managed to avoid the couple walking the hill, I
think they were just as confused about me as I was to their movements or dance
on the hill. This did hurt my knee due to jarring. It continued to hurt, but I
thought I could run it off. Lucky I had the company of Peter who I meet in
Bradwell to keep me going, as well as Liz Reeves who was having a good race in
the ladies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They managed to keep
me going. I did think about stopping and handing in the towel more than I ever
have before. Especially when my jelly babies jumped for freedom on cave dale. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Though I decided to keep going, I thought I’ve
done this before in the Long Tour, I do it again. And that is what I continued
to do keep going, at a slow pace. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Again this is what I did, bit by bit, foot

hit the road, this destroyed me and I lost all energy and time as I had trail
shoes on rather than a road shoe. This would of being a better option… Too late
now!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I managed another left and right. Steps
turned to a walk and then a jog and then a run and then I repeated. Better to
finish late than not at all…Maybe in the short term not in the long term.

for the weeks after. </span></div>

car key that I dropped on route, lucky it was at a checkpoint and it was pickup

<span lang="EN-US">The opportunity to run a fell race came by,
Gareth Briggs from Staffordshire Moorlands Athletics Club ask if anyone wanted
to join him. I said yes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was a cold and damp morning, and we
headed towards Glossop, I hadn’t heard of the race before and didn’t really know
what it would be like. Gareth described it as one long up hill and one long
downhill over the moors and peat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mark had also joined also from SMAC. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My knowledge into the race was that it is
six miles long with an 1800ft contour that took you to one of the highest
points in the peak district. The race record was set in 1989 by Colin Donnelly
the time record was 39 minutes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After a few stretches and nervous pacing, I
signed up at an old scouts hut and then headed to the starting line. There we
also saw Jack Ross, a great young runner from Staffs Moorlands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gareth told me not to go off so fast at
the start. I said there is no chance of that, as I still a little stiff in my
legs from LTOB and thought this may be a good chance to open my legs a little. We
wished each other luck and we were off. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We set off and I started off with a steady
pace over the rocky stone and twisting paths that lead to the hill that Gareth
talked about, the first part of the hill is runnable but I was soon slowed down
to a power walk up by nature staircase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heading towards the first false summit I could feel my
legs burning, but the breath of other runners behind kept me moving. At this
point Gareth and Jack were well in front, there were both in the top 5, with
jack and Gareth fighting for positions between them…And that was there race.
Something I could only be spectator to. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I managed to overtake a few people on the
climb and but a few other people managed to get past me to, so a bit of tip for
tat. I heard a marshal say I was in 21<sup>st</sup>. Heading past the one of
the three aircraft crashes and another checkpoint we headed towards Higher
Shelf Stone, the highest point on the route. I desperately tried to catch the
person in front of me, this worked and I managed to catch him by running better
lines. As we reached the top, we were neck and neck. I saw Gareth and jack fly
down the hill as the route looped back on its self. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The person I was toe to to toe with decided

on <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a couple in front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t make much ground between
them, as my downhill technique obliviously needs some work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I soon found myself running by myself,

was the wake up call I need. I tried to stay with the blue thing that shot past
at a rate of knots. I pushed hard but I couldn’t catch him either… Things were
getting worse. Until I got till the steepest part of the down hill section and
then I managed to open my legs more. I could see I was catching a small group
of runners in front of me. I had this last down hill section and the sprint
road finish to make my places up. I still had some energy in the bag. Once I
reached the road I open my legs to sprint to the finish passing a couple at the
end of the downhill and the start of the road section. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So it had been a year since my first
attempt of this ultra race and my first ever for that matter. This time I had
being running for a year and three months instead of three months. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I have a little bit more experience and
have done a little bit more training than I had before. I have done some
training runs around the route and felt that my memory served me well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was hoping not to get cramp after
lose hill and first 12 miles this time. I don’t fancy crawling along the
footpath again! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I was a little nervous, as I hadn’t spent a
lot of time doing distance runs like I usually do, instead I have been doing
shorter runs and races. This in doubt has made me faster over the shorter
distances but I wasn’t sure how it would affect my longer runs… I was about to
find out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My brother had generously volunteered to
help support me on the course and also to offer words of encouragement once
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was happy to have him help
me and this gave me more food options. As well as cutting down on weight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As like last year I was nervous and worried
about the events that were about to unfold over next few hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather was perfect conditions for
running, overcast with little chance of rain or sun. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">There was also the half tour of Bradwell
this year that Gareth Briggs was running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nick Ham, Helen Skelton and Paul Evans were also running the full tour
and looking to improve their times. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After a mad five minutes of changing some
food and checking my weight I ran to the start with a few minutes to spare.
After a half brief the whistle had gone and we were off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a few comments on the odor I
was sporting, I relieved that I had once again smothered myself in deep heat (maybe
a placebo thing). There’s no mistaking it, once you know the smell it will
never leave you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I started off with a slow pace and let a
few people go past me, this time I planned to walk any uphill that looked to
challenging unlike last year where I ran most of the ones to cave dale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its here were you have to watch your
footing as the mixture of water and limestone equals poor grip. I took it slow
and let lose once I left the stream behind, this is one of the best parts of
the course technically and for the scenery. I moved on down to Castleton feel
fresh and as I went past the outdoor educational centre headed to Hollins
Cross. This was the first time I saw my brother since the start of the race, he
informed me who was winning and where a few over people were. He gave me some
food and asked how I was, I felt “okay” I replied. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We climbed to the top and I agreed to meet him at loose
hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also said Gareth was
winning his race for Team Raidlight, where as I were about middle of the pack. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">At this point of the race I was with Pete
Slovakian runner, we had being following each other since Castleton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took on some salt and vinegar crisps
and a chocolate bar. I also had some salt tablets, unlike last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still felt okay and comfortable with
the pace I was running, I just hoped to maintain it. It was here I also meet
Janson Health and a man called Chris. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was here that I decided that I should
try and start to race against people, so therefore I decided to try and keep up
Janson and Chris.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I followed
them, Pete, and my Brother down loose hill. After the refuel of more crisps and
coke I was ready to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed
the descent and saw Lisa, Janson’s wife at the next checkpoint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My brother had come on to meet me at
the next rendezvous. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I carried on to Ashton Hall and where I
meet up with Pete and a few other runners, we were also joined by Chris and
Janson, we headed up to one of the few climbs remaining which leads down to
lady bower reservoir. I headed down the descent and decided to open my legs a
little, this brought a slight twinge in my knee. I did some stretches and moved
on at the checkpoint with Janson. Pete and Chris who were in pursuit. We moved
on into Bamford and headed towards the escalator. I meet up with my brother
once again, we walked up the growling uphill, you would be foolish to run up
this, you are a brave person if you do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I took on some more coke and a sis gel. It was at this point were I
started to struggle, well at least I made it further than I did last year and I
had the thought that I completed last years race despite all the pain from
cramp in both legs. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<span lang="EN-US">I tried to pull myself together and forget
about the cramp, I ran along the road and started to pick up my pace, and made
ground on Chris, and then we both caught up with Pete to the next checkpoint.
Now for the technical bit across the rocks, this is my favorite part of the course
because of this aspect. I started to lead us across the rocks and then got
struck by the cramp again. So I stopped and decided to try and relax my left
leg and do some stretches. This seemed to work and again I had to catch the two
up, at this point Janson had disappeared. I started to enjoy the rocks again
and then I suddenly caught up Pete and Chris we exchange words about my cramp
and then I ran to the next checkpoint to get some orange juice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I then ran down toward Heathersage, and
then past the Fox Inn and headed towards the water works, but before I got
there I was once again greeted by my brother in the Abney Moor. Here I also saw
Janson again, he was running back as he missed a checkpoint, he still looked
really fresh. I knew I would probably see him again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My brother tried to take my mind off my
cramp and told me to keep running as this way I would finish the race quicker.
And that was the plan from there on in. I just tried to run the rest of course
as best I could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It went well for
awhile, I even managed to run uphill in the woods for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we approached the final ascent, we
were passed lots of cars on a narrow road, this slowed our uphill walking down
a little. As we approached the last hill that looks down on Bradwell, I was
passed by Janson again, well there was no way I was catching him due to risk of
cramp. I continued down the fell at a slow pace, I was running as if I was
drunk and I had lost some of my senses. The trees, bushes and the trails became
all the more impassible when normally I’d fly down them. I stuck with it and made
it to the road into the village before all my right leg locked up. I screamed
with the pain and asked my brother to help release the muscles. We were then
approach by a women who asked if I had broken my leg! “No just cramp” I replied.
It was time to once again to pull out the Jaddle a cross between a jog and
waddle. This was invented last time I was here. I tried to go as quickly as
possible I almost made the finish when Chris passed me just before the line. I
was gutted, but that’s how it goes. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I was sad to see the final summer series
and the arrival of the final race, it seemed to come about too quickly. Lets
hope it’s not a goodbye!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The final race was a 5 mile race starting
at Leek Cricket Club which then leads on the Gun Hill and then back towards
Tittesworth and then finally back down to the Abbey Inn and up to the Cricket
Club to start/finish. Am a bit unsure of the actual course as me and most of
the front runners got a little lost for a change! Hence the lack of detail.
This slight detour meant that we had to do an extra mile or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well they do say things come in threes
and in a mysterious way it maybe as luckly as a rabbits foot for I had a good
conclusion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So this is how the story of the final race
unfolded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was another hot
evening and my stomach as usual was flowing south… Once I managed to compose
myself, I meant up with some of the competitors and people I had gotten to
know. Amongst them was Gareth Briggs, Robin Hope, Dale, Matt, Tyler, Toby,
Richard, Lee and Andrew. With the support of Cara who was always ready with my
water I was final making my way to the start. My Brother had come to support
and watch the race too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I wasn’t sure of the course at this point,
but I thought that didn’t matter as I was going to be at the front… Well in
hindsind it would of helped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>O well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The whistle had gone and the front-runners
we off like lightening bolts looking for a point of contact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As usual my game plan was to stay with
the runners I usually finish around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I took it steady on the road as I wanted to make my move on the uphill
towards the top of gun hill and put my hill sessions to practice. It seemed to
work as I managed to pass about four or five other runners and found myself in
about tenth once I reached the top of gun hill to hear my brothers voice of
support and encouragement. Thanks Ant.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This gave me a little more oxygen as it was
tough running through the farmers fields, my legs aching from the long uphill
struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unsure of the route I
followed those in front. Having heard a few shouts I looked around to try and see
if we were going the right way, I assumed we were and I became to follow the
leading group apart from the leading two who had ran to the top of the field! We
took a gate to another field. Both of these paths were wrong and we should of
taken a gate leading to some farms earlier on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I realised that we were going the wrong way after we hadn’t
seen a marshal or any signs to leads on the right route, so I followed Gareth
Briggs and Robin Hope as I knew they knew the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After several ploughed fields, cattle grids, and climbing of
fences we hit the road that goes to the Meerbroke or the Abbey Inn, I knew
where we were! I knew I had to work extra hard in order to finish well. I panicked
and wondered if I would finish near the back of field due to the extra mile or
so detour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I followed Gareth with
heavy legs and had to find some inner strength to carry me through. We
eventually managed to catch up with the race that I entered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw Gareth Knapper and Lee Campbell
and I knew I was near the top end of the race, which was relief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next part of the route was uphill,
I tried to keep in touch with Gareth who at this point had made a good gap on
myself, Robin and Adam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
managed to see a few familiar faces who made fun of us going the wrong way for
a third time but they also offered me encouragement to fight for a good place
and not to give up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I did this and soon started to pass those
that started behind me, through the woods near the Abbey Inn I could sort of
sense an end to this race, providing I didn’t go wrong again. At this point I
was racing to try and keep in touch with Gareth and to hold off Adam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got to the Abbey Inn, a pub that
through back good memories… I also came across my brother who had come to run
with me to the finish. Thanks for the support Ant. He pushed me on and told me
to keep going, he also said I was in second place. I not entirely sure how this
happened but I was pleased to be in this position. I ran with inspiration of
the ghosts of my past and the beating voice of my brother to hold off Gareth
till the end of the race. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A strange race that lead me to second
place, maybe next time I ll get there without people taking the wrong route. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My best result for Team Raidlight and for
me. I was over the moon with my finish though. I collapsed on the floor to find
Cara cheering me on and offering me water. Thankyou.</span></div>
