Wimpole 10k
The Wimpole hoohah 10k (20 May) is full, which is great news for a brand new event. Good luck to all C&C'ers running. I mountain biked the course today to check it was clear of obstructions and check out the conditions. Those of you who enjoy a good old fashioned mudfest of a cross country run will really enjoy this, because boy it is soggy. So don your wellies and waders and have a great time.
•
Ross Peers Half Marathon (Soham HM)
I was expecting to see a few C&C vests at Soham HM today, but it was just me and one other young lady who's name I am afraid I don't know. A nice flat course, though maybe a bit long? Coped better than usual with the breezy conditions and managed 13 consecutive sub sixes :-) Came home 3rd overall in a time of 77:49.
•
Dereham 10
Another fairly low-key race for me today, the Dereham 10, which John O. has done before. Very well organised and pretty much flat. I was fine in the first half but the breeze helped; things slipped a bit heading back into the wind, though after I lost two places in the last mile I did at least reclaim one in the last 20m or so! Well down on my PB but I'm still using London 3 weeks ago as an excuse :-)
•
Prague Marathon
After the disappointing performance I had in London, Prague worked out much better. It was near perfect conditions for running and a nice fast course. I am now looking forward to getting out of hermit training and doing some more club events.....after all its not long until the cross country season starts!

Kevin Henry 5K - Camb Tri - Provisional team results
A big thanks to all those that took part in the first KH race last night. We had 50 (fifty!) runners - a really superb turn out. The provisional team scores show that C&C were joint winners of the men's event and placed third for the women's. Newmarket men had the fastest mens team, but thanks to our fantastic turn out (every runner scores a point) we came joint top. The women's race was very close between CTC, Newmarket and C&C and we were maybe a little unlucky. Good result nevertheless.
Both races were very close and so the result may well change in the coming days.
We will post the individual times as soon as we have them.
•
1st Kevin Henry of the season!
Well done to everyone that turned out for the 5k last night - absolutely cracking performance! I will publish the results over the weekend when they have been processed. Thanks to those that assisted me with the scoring and that turned out to holler some support. Look out for the results....
•
Ashdon 10k
Bank holiday Monday saw me doing my second 10k of the long weekend at Ashdon. It was a fabulous trail run with plenty of hills and mud – so grateful for what little hill training I have done so far! Due to the challenging course and conditions, PBs would be hard here, I think, but it was great fun and I was pleased with my time of 49.50. Iona Graham-Hagg came in on 54.42. Not sure we spotted any other C+C runners – results are listed here http://www.ashdon.ik.org/p_Entry_Form_2012.ikml. I did the Ashdon 10 mile a month or two ago – there was little overlap in the courses, as far as I could see. Both highly recommended though.
•
Impington 5K
It seems like every village in Cambridgeshire has gone run-crazy this long weekend, and Impington is no exception. There was a fine win in 16½ minutes for Kye Liddle - congratulations Kye. First female C&C home was Caz Pritchard in fifth, just outside 19 mins, and Carmel McEniery claimed the second Vet prize. Lots of C&Cs doing fine things in the main event and juniors in the shorter races. A fun day.
•
Lode 10k (bit less really)
In marked contrast to the high-class Kings Lynn 10k below (well done folks!), I pedalled out to the very low-key village race, the Lode 10k (approx). Our Cambridge Tri Club arch-rivals had a group including former parkrun course record holder Tom Vickery, who duly disappeared into the distance, leaving me a distant second. I didn't recognise any other C&C runners and their results didn't list clubs, but do add yourself to our results & comment if you were there. For future reference it was small, friendly, handy for Cambridge, and the multiterrain course was mainly tarmac.

Smith races to podium finish and Salt places in category at Grand East Anglia Run (GEAR) 10k
News in from King's Lynn, where the Grand East Anglia Run 10k was held this morning. Sullivan Smith mixed it up with the Kenyans and Ethiopians and, in a very tough field, raced to 3rd place in a lightning-quick time of 31:15. Michael Salt was next in for C&C and had a brilliant run breaking into the top 10, to finish 9th overall in a blistering time of 33:05. Mike finished 2nd MV40-49, just losing out on 1st in his category by a mere 2 seconds. Fantastic running chaps, in cold and breezy conditions! A couple of photos of the podium finishers are in the gallery.
•
Fen Drayton 10K
Any C&Cs not at Cottenham or parkrunning were at the thoroughly enjoyable Fen Drayton 10K, where flooding on the busway cycle path caused a late change of course. Unfortunately the waters rose in the hour before the race, and, to cut a long story short, the running shoes will take a few days to dry out. Anyway, the very good news is that it was a C&C one-two, with John Uff beating Matt Slater into second. Congratulations to both of them.
•
Cottenham Fun Run
News in from the Cottenham Fun Run - a big C&C turnout, and a win for Ben Baldelli - 22:08 for the 4½-mile route. Results will follow if anyone tracks them down - help appreciated! Any stories? Well done everyone, and Ben in particular.

MK Marathon
The weather made this marathon a little tricky, a bit wet under foot, with a few small puddles the size of grafham water, oh why did they introduce a hose pipe ban, it has'nt stopped raining since...and the gale force wind added a little excitement, it became a course in which it was survival, not times... that was the order of the day, and two CandC members survived I think, all in all an enjoyable event even though the weather tried it's best to ruin it for us...results to follow when they dry out!..
•
Town & Gown 10k
Despite some pretty horrendous conditions for today's Town & Gown 10k in Cambridge, flippers would have been more appropriate than running shoes for much of it, we had some great performances by Jonathan Escalante-Phillips, 1st in 36:04 and Matt slater 3rd in 37:07. Yours truly was a somewhat frozen and waterlogged 5th in 37:25. Also braving the elements were Robert Conquest, Dan Bayles and C&C newcomer, Rose Eichenberger. Unfortunately the results don't list the runners by team at the moment, so please feel free to add yourself if you ran for C&C.

Ras y Trên (Race the Train)
If you have never heard of Race the Train before, the idea of the event is to race a steam train cross-country, up and down hills, across fields, through forests, and over streams. Tickets are available on the steam train for friends and family so that they may: offer up shouts of encouragement as the train rattles by, and take photos as you face-plant into a cow pat. There a number of distances (3.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 10 km, 14 miles) you can chose to race the train over, each constituting a separate individual race. The event is held in Tywyn, mid-Wales, and this year takes place on Saturday 18th August, 2012.
A number of C&C runners have competed in this event in the past, and there is a group of us interested in competing in the event this year. The plan so far is to camp near, or in Tywyn. An expedition up the local mountain Cadair Idris is also planned for the day after the race. I have created a thread in the forum for this event, so if interested, please look there for more details and get involved.

London Marathon
It is fitting that in this Olympic year that a grand weekend in London was dominated by two great British institutions; the London Marathon and moaning about how they got the weather forecast wrong again. A day that promised much in terms of shivering spectators and happy runners turned to shirt-sleeve weather and sweaty toil as the showers stayed away and the sun frazzled the C&C marathoners. But our guys and girls are made of stern stuff, as the full results show.
First C&C Diarmuid Ó Séaghdha's 2:37 was quite stunning, and carried him to 118th place in as strong a field as you'll see anywhere. Hot on Diarmuid's heels was Charlie Wartnaby, aiming to beat his 2:42:38 PB, and recording another 2:42:38! 260th for Charlie. Another jaw-dropping effort came from Victoria Knight, who ducked under 3 hours for a magnificent 56th place in the mass-starters, and no less brilliant was Kim Masson - 3:09 and sixth in the V45s. Marginal disappointment maybe for our gang of speed merchants targeting 3 hours - Andrew Shields, Paul Makowski, Giulio Cinque and Al Pritchard missed out by a smidge; happier, and deservedly so, with a first-ever sub-3:15 was Katie Sherwood, just ahead of the also-PBing Christoph Schwiening (3:15), Tracey Patmore and Madeline Boardman (two 3:17s). Katie Samuelson somehow managed yet another 26.2 in a quick 3:21.
Giacomo Capetti's and Caz Pritchard's class took them to sub-3:30 even on a difficult day, and there were eye-catchingly great runs by Carmel McEniery (3:30 and another 'never again') and Andrea Martinelli (3:33). Jalanie D'Alessandro's battling 3:58 rounded off the sub-4's, but Rich Lyle and Graham Handley (a pair of 4:05s) just missed out. Other heroic 4-and-a-bits came from Mike DiFranco, Caroline Archer, Hazel Turton, Deb Carter and Jen Richardson.
It's a hell of a day and an unimaginably painful one at times, but each and every member of our squad dug deep and came up with something truly special. Well done, you legends, well done.

London Marathon Post-Race
This year's post-London debrief/grub/booze-fest will once again be at the Chandos pub on St Martin's Lane, WC2N 4ER. It's a short stagger from the finish and meeting area on Horseguards' - just follow the crowds through Admiralty Arch (or up Whitehall) onto Trafalgar Square (the famous one with the sailor on a stick), and you'll see the huge National Portrait Gallery occupying the whole of the far side of the square. Exit Trafalgar Square just to the right of the gallery, and you're almost there - just fork right into St Martin's Lane. Upstairs bar, please (going up stairs is easier than down). Google Maps information is here. Runners, supporters, casual acquaintances and marathon groupies welcome. First runner home gets the drinks in... ;-)

Worcester Half
Nice one Julian Hardyman - a half-marathon PB of 1:38 at Worcester!

Cambridge Cambourne 10K
It was a beautiful day for our very own Cambridge Cambourne 10K (if viewed from indoors), and apart from a stiff breeze, running conditions were pretty good. Making the most of it was Sullivan 'Speedster' Smith, who took another brilliant win in 33:03 (chip), beating Bedford's best, Stephen Robinson, by eight seconds. Huge congratulations, Sullivan. Well up to the front of the men's race were David Harrison, an outstanding seventh in 36:21, Istvan Jacso (11th and a PB), Neil Carrington (15th) and Andy Whittle (16th). Awesome, guys. C&C-ers were similarly brilliant at the front of the women's event; second-claimer Ellen Leggate gave race winner Lauren Stewart of WG&EL a battle, and our current elite regulars Katie Sherwood (40:10) and Maddy Boardman (41:20) fought it out for the podium. Cross-country skipper Helen Grant had a strong claim for best C&C performance of the day, finishing sixth in 41:51 and taking victory in the F45 category with a near-82% WAVA.
Elsewhere in the categories, Diana Braverman continues to shine with a second place in the F55s, and we took third places through Peter Haynes in the M50s and Maria Brigtwell at F45. Congrats to all of you. Top-fives were earned by Andrea Martinelli and Carmel McEniery in the F35s and Jane Packman in the F45s. There were heaps of other stirring performances from our 34-strong squad, so check them out in the results section. There were no C&C members in the Fun Run, perplexingly, but definitely quite a few C&C-ers-to-be - well done them and their families.
Running aside (and maybe touching wood!) I think it was probably the most successful Cambourne yet. I don't want to risk missing any names out, so to everyone who put in staggering amounts of work to made it happen, take a bow.

April Marathons - the alternative approach...
I thought I'd get my excuses for London in early - it will be my fourth marathon of the month, and the other three all took place in the space of one weekend!
On Good Friday I took part in the Bletchley Enigma marathon, seven and a half laps of a tarmac path around Caldecotte Lake near Milton Keynes, in 3 hours 29 minutes.
Easter Saturday saw me take to the trails for the offroad self-navigated Bedford Clanger 'ultra-marathon'. I completed the 28 miles in a more sedate 5 hours 17 minutes, including plenty of stops to read the directions and try not to get lost!
Easter Sunday was the Northampton Festival of Running, another lapped course with 10k, half and full marathon options. Twelve laps of the undulating offroad, twisty-turny trails around the grounds of Delapre Abbey completed the marathon event, on a course that appeared to be designed more for fun than speed! 3 hours and 51 minutes later I'd completed the final race of my weekend.
•
Rotterdam Marathon
Mid April can mean only one thing for many intrepid runners and that's got to be the big 26.2. Adam Poole and Dave Yeneralski continued their tour of European Marathons and set off for the Netherlands, managing tidy times of 3.37 and 3.35 respectively. To run a marathon is tough, let alone to race it. Very well done chaps, another one ticked off!
•
Newham not 10k
Before you all get too excited at my 33:30 10k yesterday at the Newham 10k, I should point out that there was probably a mistake either measuring or marking out the course. It came up well short on everyone's Garmins, mine showed 6 miles, so I am not taking it as a PB. Pretty annoying to say the least as I actually would have run a PB for 10k if it had been the right length.
I did beat some very good competition to get 1st Vet though and got £100 for that and also 16th in a good quality field so at least I am running well, but I don't think it's a race I will be doing again.
(They remeasured the course as 9.6k and have given adjusted times based on that, so they give me a chip time of 34:54, at least that gets me over 90%WAVA, but by my Garmin it would have been 34:43)

More great performances at Parkrun
Another C&C first for Caroline P in the Milton Park Parkrun on Sat morning. An impressive sharpener for VLM. A Season Best for Neil C also amongst many other fine performances. Well done all.

Llandudno Easter 5K Promenade Dash
Late news in from the Welsh seaside - a belting third place in 16:28 for Oliver Park and a stonking new PB of 17:29 (and eighth place) for Matthew Applegate at the Llandudno Easter 5K Promenade Dash. Llongyfarchiadau! (please let that not be offensive).

Ashdon Trail 10
A small, but very successful band of C&C runners sampled the inaugural Ashdon Trail 10 on Easter Monday. Many congratulations to John Baslington and Paul Nelson who were 3rd and 4th finishers overall and to Maria Brightwell for a superb win! Simon B, Andy W and Glyn also put in strong runs, so well done all. Any photos of that trophy Maria?

British Elite Duathlon Championship
Those of you with a passing interest in the cycle-sandwich format of racing (run-cycle-run) may be interested to hear that George finished as 3rd female (1st Junior) at the British Elite Duathlon Championships in Loughborough a week ago, earning her a place to represent GB at the European's in Holland at the end of the month. Unfortunately, I can't take any credit for the wonderful performance - but, all of her training partners and coaches at C&C certainly can!
•
Diss Duathlon
Multi-event news from the Far East - a superb fifth place for Lisa Stango in the Diss Duathlon. Nice one, Lisa.

Oakley 20
Well done to the massed C&C squad at Oakley on Sunday. Pretty much all were putting the finishing touches to marathon training rather than racing racing, and everyone seems in fine nick. First C&C over the line was Dad-to-be Paul Makowski in 2:22 (hurrying in case of early news?), and the amazing Katie Sherwood was just a minute behind, taking third in her category (the Youngsters). Paul Jones, Caz Pritchard and "Ultra Katie" Samuelson flew round in about two-and-a-half, and Jalanie D'Alessandro and the PB-ing Carmel McEniery finished strongly in 2:40ish. Maria Brightwell (after a sprint for the starting line), Mike DiFranco, Julie Tapley, Hazel Turton, Deb Carter and Jen Richardson all made a seriously tough course look easy. Legends all.
•
Smith dismantles Cambridge parkrun course record on parkrun debut
C&C speedster Sullivan Smith blitzed the local parkrun this morning on his parkrun debut, and smashed the previous course record by 10 seconds to finish 1st in 15:36. Perhaps we'll see Sullivan back to chip away at the course record in future weeks after being bitten by the parkrun bug? Brilliant stuff! A storming run by Oliver Park (or was that Duncan Coombs?) for 2nd in 16:31, and for Diana Chalmers finishing 1st lady in 18:52. Many congratulations to Sullivan, Oliver/Duncan and Diana, and to all of the C&C runners who competed.
•
Benvenuto's birthday
Any C and C members most welcome to join the celebrations at the Corner House pub Newmarket Rd on Wednesday 4th April. I will be 44 on 4/4 which sounds like a good excuse for a party to me. 7.30 onwards.

Lode Muddy Marvel
After a very long wait for the results, Paul Nelson is well worth a mention for winning the Lode Muddy Marvel on the 18th March, making it 3 firsts for C&C members that day with Jonathan and Ben!

CLUB NIGHT Tuesday 27th March after training
Hi All, just a reminder its club night at the track after training on Tuesday from around 8:15/30PM upstairs in the club house. There will be a bar serving hot, soft and alcoholic beverages and there will be yummy homemade sandwiches and cakes available, all at an extremely reasonable cost!! Please do join us, even if just for half an hour. The endurance committee want to cement this as a regular chance to get to know fellow members, to share training experiences and also as an opportunity to learn about upcoming events we want to enter as a club!! Look forward to seeing you there.....

Thorney 10K
A huge congratulations to a lonesome but rather awesome representation at the Thorney 10K in the shape (in shape being the operative phrase!) of Katie Sherwood!! A PB, sub 40 and 1st lady performance... it doesn't get any better than that, well done Ms Sherwood, keep it going!!!

South of England Road Relay (12 stage)

Fleet Half Marathon - 25th March
Did anybody else make it down to the offical pre London half today? Was keeping my eyes peeled for C&C vests but didn't spot any. Fantastic support all around the course from the locals, gorgeous weather, traffic free course and a strong racing field made for a highly enjoyable and very recommendable race. Will certainly be coming back next year! 1:21:42 and 85/2200 for a half marathon debut? Not quite Jon E-P territory but I don't think it was too shabby! Looking forward to coming back and representing the club this easter :)
•
Ashdon Trail 10
I've been asked by Jordan Kennard to mention a new local race his brother Seth is organising at Ashdon (which is between Safron Walden and Linton), and it does sound like a cracker. The Ashdon Trail 10 will be run over scenic, hilly countryside on Easter Monday, the 9th April. Along with the 10-miler, there will be a 3km option aimed at under-16s, and the proceeds will go to local charities. You'll probably know that the Kennards have bags of experience of racing (rather fast) in C&C colours, so you can be sure it'll be a good one to do.

XC News
C & C took the title of Most Improved Club of the Season at the Ryston GP 2011-12. We also took second, to City of Norwich, in the Visiting Clubs Competition. Second position has been held by St. Edmunds Pacers for the past three years. 7 members of C & C were winners in the overall series competition.
These results, those of the English Schools, Inter Counties and other Championships can be found here.
Many thanks go to all those that made their way to the Ryston GP and the Championships to raise the profile of XC within C & C.
There's still one race left on the calendar - the British Masters XC Championships in Bath on Sunday 25th March. At present C & C have three representatives. Entries close Tuesday 20th March. Details here.

Wimpole 10k Fun Run
On 20th May 2012, hoohaah have organised a 10k event at Wimpole Estate. They are the same people that organise the Bourn to Run 10k. Although billed as a fun run, it is set up by runners for runners with chip-timing. The course is both road and trail around this fantastic estate with beautiful views across Cambridgeshire. Looks like this could be a great addition to anyones spring calendar. Take a look at http://www.hoohaah.co.uk/wimpole-10k-fun-run-may-20th/ for more details

CU H&H Roman Road Race
I'm planning on running in the Roman Road race this Saturday, and the organisers would like an estimate of numbers from C&C, as there is at least one bus leaving the club at 12:30pm. For those of you who don't know the Roman Road, it follows the chalk ridge from just SE of Horseheath to Wort's Causeway just NE of Wandlebury CP, and is one of the hidden gems of the surrounding countryside. And apart from the fact that running 9.5 miles hard on hills is good training, what better way to spend an afternoon than with fellow foot soldiers from the University. So if you're interested let me know ASAP.
•
Cambridge HM
Congrats to everyone running from C and C. Quick search of the interweb threw up this video http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/Video-News/Cambridge-Half-Marathon-draws-in-the-crowds-11032012.htm with a few c&c faces running by. Get your 5 minutes of fame here...

Ryston Runners XC, 18 March
Anyone who fancies a quick blast through the woods at Shouldham Warren on Sunday morning, please post here, email me, see me at parkrun on Saturday, send me a message on Facebook, by pigeon post, on a piece paper wrapped round a half-brick and lobbed through my window... Maybe not the last one. I'm not going to be at training on Tuesday owing to work commitments. Alternatively, contact Helen Grant, our cross-country generalissima.
It's the final Ryston Cross Country Grand Prix on Sunday and I'll be heading up there from Wilberforce Road at about 9:15am. Details are here. They're holding the prize-giving in the village after the races so we'll be staying for that. I have enjoyed taking part in this series over the winter and can recommend it to anyone who yearns for a bit of up-and-down and mud.

CAMBRIDGE HALF
Thank you to all C and C marshals..you were superb..and to our runners who did Cambridge proud! When I started fighting for this event years ago it seemed all the odds were against us. Neil C and the club as a whole were instrumental in persuading the council to let it happen. This is your event!

I would like to say a special and huge thank you to all the marshals on the half marathon course today, especially all the C & C marshals, who did an outstanding job of cheering the runners on! It made running the race so much more pleasurable/enjoyable, if of course running a half marathon can be called that!

Cambridge HM Pics
I have put some pics from today's Cambridge HM on Facebook for anyone who wants to have a look, sorry to all of the many C&C runners I missed! Pictures are HERE
I have also added some of them to the gallery
Please make it easier to upload photos Andy, I've got loads more!

Take a bow everyone...
I've just received this email (on info@C&C) from a fellow (French) runner - what a club....
Hi All
Last Sunday I ran the full Cambridge Boundary Run in 3h29 inbetween several C&C members as this is my best achievement ever: time and distance (Last year I did 3h51 but walked in the end having too much pain).
I have to thank you a lot for what I consider my best run ever.
Even if I am not a club member and I came only twice at the Tuesdays sessions (Once I just looked, and the other on the track), it was enough to gather many good advices from Alan:
warm-up, warm-down, intervals, core exercices...
Pity I cannot not make the time of the training sessions as I wanted to join and the club was highly recommended.
Partly because of that, I have now joined the Triathlon Club, which running sessions start a bit later. The trouble is then to improve my cycling and swimming. Another story...
From C&C, I know many good and friendly members also from Parkrun and from various races (Richard L, Simon B, Alan P, Jen R, Andrew W, Andy, Cristof...) which all have always been supportive, friendly and competitive.
After I came last Summer, I ran 3 races pretty well (one 10K and two 5K) following the advices of Alan.
Now, most important, during the last two months, in order to prepare boundary run, I used a few marathon training plans found on the web (fetch, asics, run-UK...) and I tried to mix them more or less.
However I have to admit that finally the best one I followed was simply the closest one: yours, prepared by Neil Costello "Marathon training Spring 2012" on that page:
http://www.cambridgeandcoleridge.org.uk/road-running/road-running-group
very good!
So I owe you my success :-)
Much obliged

CAU Inter-Counties XC Championships - Saturday 10th March
Good luck to all those that will be representing Cambridgeshire at the Inter-Counties XC Championships at Cofton Park, B'ham this weekend. Almost half of the 77 confirmed as running are members of C & C AC, not forgetting others that had been selected but are not available to run. That's a tremendous achievement for the club and thanks should go to the coaches, parents and families who have supported these athletes throughout the season. For those of you not familiar with this event - it's fastest one. Everyone starting would have finished in the top positions in their age group in their county championships.

Ekiden Relay - 15th July 2012
I would like to know if there is any interest for this great event in Suffolk, hosted by Ipswich Jaffas? Its a marathon broken into 6 stages of between 5k and 10K looping on the same course, making it a great spectator/supporters event too. This is championed by Dave Edwards and I believe John Oakes and Al has also ran it in his previous life as a Coventry Sphinx-er! There are lots of team prizes, I think we could run away with a few (ladies????) and Dave is also keen to try and get a 50+ super vets team together. Its £36 per team, so assuming we can't get funding, this seems to be great value per person! So, lets stamp our authority yet again as a force to be reckoned with prior to Hereward and RNR! If you are interested please email me at cazwrightuk@yahoo.co.uk and I'll co-ordinate.
More info here: http://events.ipswichjaffa.org.uk/ekiden-relays/
Cheers!!! Caz

Cambridge Boundary Run
Whilst we await news of the results from The Boundary Run I would just like to thank the CUH&H for putting on the event. It now holds the record for not only being the cheapest, most relaxed marathon going but also the one providing the best post-race refuel table. It was a great race with weather that gradually got wetter and better throughout. The mud was gloriously slippy and sticky and the kissing gates were wonderfully wearing. Mildly disappointed not to see any students crying in the bushes on the latter stages - but, I guess you can't have everything! I have added the full marathon results, but the half results won't be available till the weekend....

The final Frosty
Absolutely stirling job again by the C&C gang at the final Frostbite today! Weather was truly miserable but it didn't keep people away. I will wait for the 'official' results to be published to confirm positions and whether we have won.....but for now...Sul led the entire pack of runners to the finish line, closely followed by Kye. Apologies for not mentioning everyone, there was such a flurry of blue & white vests in quick succession that I could hardly keep up (the likes of Jonathan EP, John Uff, John Oakes, Ben B, Neil C, Mark, Salty, Chris H, Ben Jones, Charlie R, John Morley, Rich...list was endless) and somewhere amongst all that Maddie, Morag, Lisa, Ali and Jen gave the other gals a run for their money. Not to forget the juniors who also secured another great result. The gang certainly did Mark proud! What a finale eh?!

EVERY runner counts so please consider making this part of your weekend activities, even bring the kids and family members along. Details below...

Tarpley 10 & 20
Great trophy hauls all round today in the Tarpley 10 & 20 races.
I didn't actually see the 20-mile diehards afterwards, so do chip in with your stories, but (speedy) Kim, Carmel & Hazel claimed the women's team prize in a sterling endurance-fest, closely followed by Andy & Deborah.
Meanwhile we 10-mile lightweights positively clinked with booty as we also picked up team trophies as well as individual ones for 2nd (me), 3rd (Jonathan) and MV50 (John -- who else?). John & I were both experimenting having laid off races for a while, and pleased with the results, while Jonathan was particularly impressive in a big step up from his previous 5-10k races, and there should be pictures to prove it later courtesy of Mrs E-P. Dave & Diana were 3rd and 2nd in their age groups too, so overall I think we had quality performances all round today.
Pictures now here (thanks Jonathan)

Roman Road Race 17th March
The Roman Road Race, organised by Cambridge University is on 17th March. It's a 9.5 mile cross country along the Roman Road - an excellent tradtional event, only open to those invited and loved by those who've done it. A bus will leave the track at 12.30. The race starts at 1.15 and is a hare and hounds race, with the slowest starting first. The bus brings everyone back and refreshments are served at the track. It's free but a contribution for the bus is usually requested. It's a good event - well worth trying. (You can also go to the associated dinner in the evening - see attached pdf.)

London Bus
Hi All
The time is getting closer for the great day with a fantatsic line up of elite runners all looking to get that qualifying time for the olympics - 6 Elite British females in competition and 6 Elite Kenyans all racing for the time. This goes without saying about our own club runners all trying to get PB's, experience there first marathon or doing it for charity. Make the experience less stressful and more fun by joining us on the london bus. The bus will pick up at the track at 6:30am and head off to the starting point of Black Heath to drop off the runners, it will then drop of all spectators (which can be family, friends etc) near the tower bridge. after a fun filled day of supporting your family, friends and running buddies we will all meet either in the Walkabout pub on the embankment or in Arundel street to pick up the bus again at 4:30pm. Then home for that well earned dinner, glass of wine, pint of beer and rest.
The cost for this is £15 per person, if you would like to join the fun please make cheques payable to C&C and post them to Tracey Patmore, 36 Blenheim Close, Upper Cambourne, Cambridge, CB23 6AP or pass them to me at the track on a tuesday.
This is a great opportunity so make sure that you snap up your place quick as there is only a certain amount and quite a few have been booked already. It is first come first served with there cheques. Good value for a day out in London i think.

Stamford St Valentine's 30K CANCELLED
e-mail from race director below...
Saturday 11th February 2012, 1600hrs
To all 30k Runners
It is with a great deal of sadness that Stamford Striders have to cancel the St Valentine’s Day 30k tomorrow – the first cancellation in its 19 year history.
We were cautiously optimistic yesterday. Of the 18.6 miles, 16 were clear, dry and beautiful for running. We had just over 2 miles, in 2 rural areas, which still had compacted snow and which get no sun.
Friday night saw temperatures reach -13C here, which hardened that compacted snow.
Today we ploughed the snow clear, and had a large team of club runners out attacking the ice with shovels. We also bought over a tonne of salt. However, it has not resulted in a course that we can, hand on hearts, declare safe to run. The temperature is not forecast to get above freezing until Sunday at 9AM and, with no sun getting to that part of the course, there is no reasonable chance of any improvement.
Therefore, as Race Director I, in consultation with our Safety Officer and the Police, have had to cancel the 30k. I am extremely proud of the team here – they have worked like Trojans to try and make it work, and, as runners, themselves are all bitterly disappointed.
We are looking at options now, and will be in touch within the week with our plan from here.
I hope that most of you receive this in time to at least have not had wasted journeys.
If you swapped your number directly with another runner, we do not have their e-mail and would be grateful if you could pass this on. (Note that this does not apply to those that we facilitated the swap, putting runners in touch with runners who could not run)
Best Regards,
Nick Wells

Cross Country this weekend
Weather permitting Ryston Runners will be hosting their fifth event of six on Sunday. If you haven't been able to put in much speed work this week you may like to take advantage of this 9K hilly, two loop course. It's all off road on forest tracks - suitable for spikes. Get there early to register - £4 for seniors and £2 for the shorter junior races. I suggest you check their club website to see if it's still on if the weather looks doubtful.
•
WILBERFORCE ROAD - TRACK CLOSED
Due to the weather the track is closed this evening, so there will be no sessions running from there, for either the track or road group. Apparently the surrounding pavements are also still ice/snow covered and therefore I don't feel it's safe for me to take a road session out to the West site either. Hopefully the weather will ease as the week goes on and we can all return to a normal training schedule! Be safe everyone. Caz

Freedom Parkrun or a tale of a tarnished Narnia
Inspired by the writings of Dave Mail (see News) - and who couldn't be? - and to carry out a controlled experiment, I thought I'd try to race the Parkrun course on Mon 6th, and compare my time with my last recorded result in more 'normal' conditions.
By Monday, the pristine wilderness described so eloquently by Dave had been somewhat mashed up and slightly thawed, with the result that each step I took sank in quite a way, and then had a nasty tendency to slide unpredictably. I made a reasonably honest attempt at putting in as much effort as previously ....Results:-
26:30 on Monday, compared to 22:38 last time
We often speculate as to how much time adverse conditions can add to our race times....well, I offer this up as one example....a startling loss of nearly 4 min, or well over a minute a mile.....a sobering, or perhaps comforting thought, if you need an excuse...sorry reason, for a relatively poor time!

Women's Monday Night Session Still On!
At your own risk, come for a run around with me around the centre of Cambridge tonight (Mon 6th Feb). Probably only going to do 3-4 miles. Bring sensible clothing and expect it to be a stop and start slow and steady session.

Monday Night Running Group Cancelled 6th Feb
Due to the snow over the weekend we have decided to cancel the Monday night running group from Chesterton. The pavements in the area remain snow covered, and with predicted minus temps this evening it would be unsafe to run. If you run with this group and have contact details of other members please let them know. The group will run as usual next Monday 13th Feb if conditions have improved. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

A Trip to Narnia
Alternatively “A Romp in the Snow”
After being deprived of a race in the snow today when the Bourne Frostbite event was cancelled, I didn’t let that stop me getting my fix of snow running. Having previously worked at Papworth for many years, I’ve run the 12 miles cross country between work and home in deep snow several times, so waking up to 3-4 inches of snow today wasn’t going to deter me. On with my cross country shoes, 3 pairs of gloves, 2 shirts, a very warm jacket, my Fenland 10 woolly hat and a running belt loaded with drink, camera (more pics in "read more") and a mobile phone (in case I came across any distressed walkers!), I headed out…
At the end of my road, across a snow covered field, and onto the Guided Busway. Hardly anyone about, very few footprints in the snow, with me adding some more as I loped along in the post snow haze to Milton CP. There, was the first taste of a winter wonderland and I took several photos along the Parkrun 5k course (prizes to anyone who accurately identifies the precise locations).
Out of MCP onto Fen Road to Bait’s Bite and then through my first deep snowdrift of the day practising my high knee lift technique on the way to Horningsea. Just north of Horningsea, I turned onto the Harcamlow Way (the 140 miles figure of eight long distance footpath from Harlow to Cambridge and back to Harlow – Cambridge is the northernmost point) towards Lode. Couldn’t help but stop and take in the serenity of the snow covered fens with a beautiful gloomy sky. No good; I can’t stay here all day, much as I love the fens.
Onward to Lode, but I deliberately deviated from my usual route (just for a change to see where a different path took me), through more snowdrifts, and came across Quy Old Station House, from whence I turned onto another branch of the Harcamlow Way which took me along Quy Water. It was along there that I had a “Narnia experience” as I passed through a door of trees into an exquisite view of a frozen Quy Water meandering through an avenue of heavily snow covered trees. I stopped and gasped, stunned with the quiet majesty of my discovery. No footprints, it was as if I had found a secret world that no one else knew about. Managed to shake myself out of my stupor and jogged slowly beside the Water which runs along the back of Anglesey Abbey into Lode, all the while absorbing the splendour that was unfolding around each bend.
Upon leaving Lode, I spied a couple of sentries outside a house – has anyone else noticed that whenever there is a heavy snowfall, there is always an alien invasion? It’s creepy how they just stand there saying nothing, not moving, often with a silly smile on their white faces, black eyes, wearing a scarf but no other clothes, thin stick like arms, and a huge round bottom that hides any legs they may or may not have. They obviously haven’t worked out a proper invasion plan, because they always melt away when the temperature rises.
From Lode, I turned NNW alongside Bottisham Lode towards Bottisham Lock and into a different wonderland of frozen water, deep snow, and a vast vista of open snow covered flat fields extending for miles, with a light haze hovering over the snow. No sounds apart from a few birds, no footprints, no signs of “civilization”, just gentle stillness. More standing around admiring my location, before I girded my loins and reluctantly continued, albeit with several scenery induced stops.
Crossed the river and headed to Clayhithe and along the Halling Way Towpath to Bait’s Bite and then back to home. I always smile hello to people when I run and usually get nice responses, and today there were more than usual (kindred spirits adventuring out into the bleak conditions?).
You’ll know from my previous writings that I love running in the hills; but I also love the Fens, and days like this reinforce that emotion.
20.5 miles run in 3hr 35 min (plus another hour for scenery stops and photos); must be my slowest ever 20 miles run, but who cares? Today wasn’t about timing, but living the moment and discovering and experiencing treasures. I race, and I train to race as well as I can, but it’s days like today that give me my running pleasure and if ever they were taken away from me, then that would be the end of a huge part of me.
Spent the whole time smiling due to the sheer joy of being able to run on such a day. Who needs wheels when two legs can lead you to such discoveries, secrets and emotions? A perfect magical day running in the Fens.

Road running at C&C
We have a big road running section which takes part in many events throughout the UK and abroad. The standard covers the full range from impressively quick to the not so quick and the age range runs from late teens to 70s. We enjoy running and competing with each other and other people. We aim to have fun as well as to run to the best of our abilities. For more specific information, please read more here:
http://www.cambridgeandcoleridge.org.uk/
If you're new to the club and would like to know more please use the contact list on the side of this site to ask a question or simply introduce yourself.
We're all runners here, and the main aim is enjoyment and to have fun!
