So, the big one, the Manchester marathon, four hardy Warriors took on the challenge. Fortunately the weather was a lot better than last year. Cool, no rain, a bit windy at times but nothing like as bad as last year. On the line was a £50 charity pledge from Warrior O to whichever man crossed […]

Biggs (01:30:59) Steve S (01:32:22) Roo (01:48:09) Owen (01:51:17) Vina (02:00:44) New PBs for a few of the warriors in this year’s Wilmslow Half marathon. Looking forward to seeing people wearing the souvenir t-shirt which is a rather fetching shade of pink. Full results: http://www.tdl.ltd.uk/race-results.php?event=1306

Only two Warriors turned out for this year’s Stockport 10. As usual it was a fun race with good atmosphere, friendly stewards and interesting goody bag (OXO cube etc). Hopefully this year’s shirt won’t prove to be quite as harsh on the nipples as last years! Kev came in 158th with 1:10:51. Steve S (me) a […]

Congratulations to Warrior Kev for winning this week’s Burnage Park Run with a time of 21:10: http://www.parkrun.org.uk/burnage/results/weeklyresults?runSeqNumber=20

The Offerton 10km is a club race organised by Stockport Harriers. It starts in Woodbank Stadium and takes in 3 laps of Woodbank and Vernon parks. There is a killer climb out of Vernon Park that has to be tackled three times and by the third time you are absolutely dreading it. http://www.mapometer.com/running/route_2102761.html Good efforts […]

Great times from the Warriors taking part in this year’s Manchester 10km: Biggs – 41:27 Matt – 44:12 Roo – 47:12 Unfortunately I couldn’t be there as I was travelling back from London. I asked the lads whether they had any photos or anecdotes to share from the day and this is what they came up […]

Thought I’d write a post on the Manchester marathon despite being the only warrior who took part. It was my first marathon and therefore quite a daunting prospect even though I’d followed my Runner’s World 3.5-4 hour training plan to the letter. It was made even more daunting when I got up and saw the […]

A lower than usual Warrior turnout for the Wilmslow Half this year. The only entrants were Roo, Owen, Matt and Steve S. Matt subsequently dropped out due to lack of preparation/having too much fun in Mexico. Rumours of The Biggs taking his place proved to be unfounded. Steve S (1:32:06) Roo (01:52:09) Owen (01:55:29) Great […]

This morning four of the warriors took part in the Stockport 10, supported by Sarah and injured warrior Kev. Just like last year the weather was pretty unpleasant but it’s a really fun race with friendly stewards who keep your spirits up as you slog up a few big hills. I think all the warriors […]
