10K
| UKA 2011-102816 | | This is a 10K race at Chesterton which is a few miles South of Bicester. It is a reasonably flat course, but it's a bit boring as about 4K is on a straight old Roman Road called Akeman Street and another 4K goes round the perimeter road of a disused airfield. Disconcertingly, whilst on the airfield, you can just about see the lead runners on the other side of the airfield about 2.5K ahead! This year a few gliders were taking off and landing which gave us something to look at. In my warm-up I ran the last K of the route which is the bit along Akeman Street. Whilst doing this in my warm-up I frequently had to slow down as my feet were sliding on ice. This was especially the case on the southern side of the road where the bushes were hiding the sun. Although the race was due to start 30 minutes earlier than last year, the organisers reverted to the normal start time hoping the roads would de-ice. Whilst doing the race, I didn't detect any ice at all. Whether this was because the delay had allowed the sun to melt the ice or whether the trampling of the runners in front of me had melted the ice, I don't know. Last year my section of the pack frequently switched sides of the road when doing the outward stretch of Akeman Street; this year this didn't happen as this section was better marshalled. As it was about 0 degrees when I first started warming up, I wore tights and two layers up top, but whilst racing I regretted this as this made me feel slightly hot as the sun was quite strong. My plan at the start was to try and beat last year's time. Last year I averaged 2m23s per 0.5K and so I tried to keep the pace indicated by my Garmin at about 4m46s and I had a sheet of paper that gave the desired cumulative times at each 0.5K. Even though I managed this for the first 6K I tired between 6K and 8K and in the end finished 33s slower than last year. Although this was disappointing, it was good as I haven't run at race pace for 3 weeks, my times have been slower this year and it beats my 2008 time by 45s. The race is timed as chip to chip where you collect your chip on the day. The journey there is: 19M, 0h28m, 1030/0945/0915/0845 |

10K
| UKA 2011-102738 | | Radnage is about 5 minutes from Junction 5 (Stokenchurch) on the M40. "Goody bag to the first 200 finishers". The following details are from my report of the 2010 race. It was the inaugural Rugged Radnage 10K and it all worked very well. In the announcements before the race, we were warned that the K markers might be inaccurately placed and the race might be a bit longer than 10K but my Garmin didn't bear either of these out. She also said there may be mud! Well there was a lot of mud, especially in the woods. There were also numerous large puddles on the tracks and the roads. Most people near to me walked the two killer hills: there was one at 4K and the other one was at the start of the last 1K. These are obvious from the 0.5K splits. Between 4.5K and 6K I managed to get some fast running done even though this was on uneven muddyish tracks through woods and I continued this fast running on tarmac between 6K and 8K. I got 1.47 times the winner's time which I'm pleased with. There were lots of marshals: they were enthusiastic and well positioned. The bacon roll and coffee at the end went down well as it was quite a chilly (although dry) day.; received an e-mail saying race number will be sent nearer the event |

15.19K
| | | The Standish Woodland Chase is a multi-terrain race over a course of almost ten miles following parts of the Cotswold Way. When I did it in 2010, my watch made it 15.19K which is 9.43M. The route is hilly and run on mainly woodland trails, with some road, along the scenic Cotswold escarpment. From 0.5M to 1.5M there is a 500 feet climb; there is then two laps of a 3.4M circuit through the woods; finally you return down the hill to the finish. The woods are gorgeous and they reminded me of my training runs in the Chilterns. I even heard some Red Kites. The terrain in the woods was rough and undulating. I found this hard to pace: I'd walk a bit and follow this by a run using a pace that was too fast that I had to walk again. This was much to the annoyance of runners who I played cat and mouse with. I didn't have a plan for the race. I thought it would be nice to get under 100 minutes but was just 45 seconds adrift of 90 minutes which was great and gave me a 1.49 against this year's winner's time and this year the race was won by a woman. Yeh! |

5M
| | | journey there: 21M, 0h49m, 1030/0945/0915/0825, These are two events, a five mile race and a three mile fun run, which will take place on 7 August 2011 with a 10.30 start. They are part of the yearly Lambourn Festival. Both events start simultaneously from the Sports Club in Bockhampton Road. The route is a large figure of eight that goes from Lambourn to Upper Lambourn and back to finish at the Sports Club. Both sets of runners follow the same route for the first part of the route, but the fun runners turn back just after passing the Old Cricket Field. The five milers continue through Upper Lambourn until rejoining the Upper Lambourn Road. The course can be described as undulating but some of the inclines can be deceptive as they can seem to go on forever! Much of the route is along paved surfaces (i.e. public highway), but there are parts over loose surfaces, such as horse tracks. |

| 2181 | | Adderbury Half Marathon
half marathon
| | | This Half Marathon is a mix of off-road and tarmac. It uses a mainly flat course with a few inclines. When I did it in 2010, we met all sorts of traffic: motorway traffic, slow moving canal bridges, a hot air balloon and even a steam train! We also met stiles, steps, kissing gates, old wooden kissing gates that wouldn't move and cows that were standing across the path. It was hot (about 23 degrees); thankfully there were four water stations and these were cheerfully manned. It was a race where people exchanged words as they passed, and it was a race where people looked after each other. At 6M I asked a walking runner if he was OK and he retaliated about 0.5M later. And whilst crossing a stile I glanced back and saw the runner behind going the wrong way. I ran back to the junction and shouted to her. I had to do the stile again. Grhh! I hate stiles. After finishing, I learnt that a fellow HRR runner had gone wrong there too: a direction arrow or a marshal was needed. You get a T-shirt. |

10K
| | | The 2010 Kingham 10K used a new route. It started calmly with a run through the village but after 1K there was a 2K hill taking us from 127m to 190m. This was followed by a single track footpath through some woods and then some drive ways of the Daylesford Estate. So it was mainly flat from 3K until 5K when we descended into Cornwell. After turning round and going through the village again we retraced the hill that was the descent into Cornwell: it was about 30m ascent in 0.6K. At 7K, there was a little dip and then at 7.5K we retraced the long outward ascent. So for the last 2.5K it was downhill to the finish. It's all shown in the splits. As it was about 28 degrees, the two water stations at 2.5K and 6K were very welcomed. The parking arrangements were laid back: find somewhere in the village. And there was only a 5K marker, but I saw white paint on the ground for 2K, 3K, 7K, 8K and 9K. |
