This is a well organised and becoming very popular 14.5 mile offroad race/hill
climb. The first 2 miles give the indication of how hilly its going to be and
left my calves and quads destroyed. By the time I got my legs back at the
trig point at 5 mile I started to recover and slowly progressed through the
field. Then the last 5 mile of hill climbs took their effect. But with perfect
weather, views into the distant Welsh mountains, ford crossings to recover
in and friendly runners all round the finish was met with a smile and a time
that was 15 minutes faster than the previous year. Would thoroughly recommend,
but you have to be prepared to climb some very steep hills.

The things we will do for a hoodie and a cheese batch!!! Great turnout for
Northbrook on a perfect day at what is arguably one of the areas best organised
20 mile races. The course was the same as usual, plenty of hills and twists
and turns along the route but the pockets of support and cheery marshals ensured
we all got round with smiles on our faces. Leading the way for Northbrook
was Martin Winch who came in 39th overall in a superb time of 2.11, something
us mere mortals can only dream of!! However, the rest of us stuck to our plans
and enjoyed the event and a few PB's were smashed along the way!! I think
we can safely say that we all enjoyed it, even the ones that had never done
a 20 mile event before. Great event, highly recommendable - Sarah

I don’t generally send in multi-sport results but the first time listed
is for a 10k race, officially recognised with a UKA Race Licence,
as it was also a stand-alone 10k race. It was
actually a 10k PB for me - a bit of a surprise.

This was a blustery and cool Sunday trip out to the usual "lumpy" circuit
around Draycote Water. Two laps and a bit with an incredibly long finish
straight that was headlong into a strong wind. PB's for both Rich and Julie.
This was Julie's first attempt at 10-mile, and she seemed to accomplish it
with a smile on her face - Spencer

What a fantastic day for the club at the Coventry Half-Marathon. We were represented
by 50 runners in the race, led home by Amanda Deavy who was 2nd lady overall.
Among our runners were nine pacers, who all ran disciplined splits to achieve
their target times. There were also many runners from Myton Hospice who benefitted
from the Sunday training sessions at Northbrook. On the course, we had ten volunteer
marshals, who encouraged everyone to keep going and run great times.
The Northbrook marquee was prominent in the race village. It was a great advert
for the club and publicised this year’s Northbrook 10Km race in July. Many 10Km
handouts were given to finishers after the race.
Many thanks to everyone who ran, or helped on the day. It was great to be part
of the Club of the Year - Mark Baker
I'd like to thank the 1:30 pacers and marshalls for their support and encouragement
at today's half-marathon - it was a brilliant experience - Terry Moynihan
