Coniton 14... A real fight to the finish...
Once again I find myself at another race with a number kindly donated by Mark Berresford, last week a half marathon this week the Coniston 14. A 5k or a fun run from Mark would be appreciated next.
The beautiful Lake District was the race setting and a 14 mile rollercoaster of a coarse lay ahead.
A car ride up the M6 with fellow runners from Chorley Harriers, Paul Jackson being our driver we arrived in plenty of time to soak up the atmophere that was in full swing.
After a slow start the road became clear, so it was full steam ahead along the undulating road with Lake Coniston on the left surrounded by awesome countryside and towering hills. At six miles water was needed as the weather was pleasanly warm so I made sure I had some at the water station. At mile seven I got a bad ache in my left outerside of my knee, it then developed into a more severe pain and I began to carry my leg with every stride. I decided I could run it off and got to mile nine where the pain came and passed but I realised that going up the inclines and descending was becoming extremely painful. What I should have done at this point was stop and only sheer stupidity made me carry on. Running whilst limping was now slowing me right up and runners where pileing past me. The pain was now quite acute at mile eleven and again I ought to have pulled up and called it a day. At around mile twelve a sharp downhill approached and going down a severe and sharp pain hit me, I ended up practically `hopping` down it, I then, once at the bottom just got to the finish limping, running ,hobbling.
Once I had finished my knee wouldnt bend, but finish I did... then to off the 1st aid for an ice pack and a sit down.
So glad I wasn't driving, dont think I could have but sitting in the car and thinking made me wonder is it just me or all runners barking mad.
Great race if your without injuries though!
Now its an enforced rest and I must remember two things, firstly if running hurts bad then stop, secondly if Mark Berresford offers me another number, turn round, say no then limp away...
For the running boffins around it appears my injury is pointing to`Ilio-tibial-band -friction`. Seems you get it when you do 5 minute miles or less (tongue in cheek) ha .

WILMSLOW HALF - 30TH MARCH 2008
A big thanks to Mark Beresford for giving me his number for this half-marthon and on a day with ideal weather conditions for running. This race fills up early and has 4000 entrants. Getting to Wilmslow in plenty of time is a must as traffic and parking can be an issue.
All was set for my third half marathon of the year and was hoping to better both my other previous times when I hadn't been well or fit.
I had a slow start for the first mile and a half as was boxed in due to the vast amount of runners, then I started to pick up and get into a resonable sort of pace. The miles passed by on these quiet Cheshire country lanes but burst into cheers and clapping at many points on route when passing through villages or road junctions. I was feeling strong at ten miles, so with 3 miles to go I pushed on ,only to fade for the last two and a half.
My fitness is getting there ,due to going to the track on Tues evening, (thanks to Mr Mathews) so was pleased to muster up a fast finish for the last 800 metres and finish in a gun time of 1hr 36min 14sec (my watch 1hr 35min 46sec) 24th vet 50.
This time was a big improvement on my last two halfs, knocking 12mins off my first of the year.
My next encounter towards total fitness is the scenic roads of the lake district,t he Coniston 14.on saturday .........

Haigh hall report
Haigh Hall relays
Two Teams turned out at the relays to add to the increased number of participants this year with 39 teams overall . This made for good competition between familiar rivil teams as the race progressed. The two vet teams were
Team 1
Team 2
Keith Thomas 22.45
Duncan Crompton 26.44
Mick Green 22.42
Dave Clemence 25. 26
Pete Hopley 23.41
Dave Pearson 28.08
Stewart Jones 24.14
Derek Lord 25.45
Team 1 came 3rd Vets team overall with a combined time of 1hr.33.32 pushed on by a strong Burden team close behind on each leg but finishing on 1hr 34.53. An excellent run and fastest team time by Mick helped pull back and overtake the class Salford ladies team , a lead we were able to maintain.There was pressure on the second Lostock and Burden teams throughout the relay with Burden just pulling ahead to finish in 1hr 45.07 ahead of Lostock in 1 hr 46.03. A great turnout in this nice location, thanks for our supporters and Neil and Alan's offers to stand in if needed to enable teams to be complete. As usual, a heart pumping event which works runners hard both in judging the pace and self control on the 2 mile descent, and the effort drawn from you in trying to maintain pace and position on the almost 2 mile uphill return leg while surrounded by equally determined competitors. Well done everyone. Next year we could try for more teams including mixed teams if members bear this race in mind and express an interest.
