Thanks to Stephen Phimister for the following race report:
"I turned up today to give the event a go and found I had been joined by 2 other Harriers, David Herbertson and Mary Goldsmith. Seems like a good event with a wide range of runners.
It was a ‘crisp’ morning and the race director explained the route as an undulating course. One part in particular was sharply uphill undulating (!) and unfortunately it’s on a section of the course that you run twice. Course was well marked and easy to follow. Given recent debate about the course distance I hope it’s correct as I ran a pb in 19:42, Davie (genuine man flu) on 21:45 and Mary on 22:40 (think this was also a pb). For comparison Robert Gilroy was 2nd on 16:25 .A good run and worth a semi-regular attendance. They also run all sorts of leagues and grading systems which seem complicated but they do all the scoring for you. Just turn up and run.
Also helps to promote the club (32 clubs in attendance) and will be even better if Eddie ever produces the T-shirts ordered in October!! :-) "
Stephen has shaved a further 17 seconds of his pb compared to Auldhouse and Mary has improved her pb by a substantial 1:06. As mentioned in the original post, these events are held every Saturday morning at 09:30, so plenty of future opportunities to monitor your fitness improvements.
