Club Defribrillator

25/2/2020

 
Some of you may be aware that the club now has a defibrillator.

While we hope this is an investment we never need to use, it's important that as many of you as possible know how to access and use this life saving piece of equipment, should the need ever arise.

More information and a brief demonstration of how to use our defibrillator (or any of those publicly available in the area) will be provided by Ian Scott before our training session on Tuesday 3 March. If you are interested, please be at the Academy for a prompt 7:15 start.

Mike Shrive looks after the equipment - please contact him or Andy Hickman if you need any information before the session on the 3rd.

National Cross Country Championships at Nottingham

24/2/2020

 
Chiltern’s U13 Boys were the heroes of Nottingham at the National Cross Country Championships on Saturday. The team scored a convincing win at a grey and muddy Woollaton Park and Alden Collier added the National title to the Southern he won at the end of January.  The boys were the top team from 44 complete teams from around the country. Zoe Gilbody also ran brilliantly and won the U13 Girls individual title.

England Athletics U13/U15/U17 Indoor Championships

24/2/2020

 
Chisom Nwafor picked up a bronze medal in shot at the weekend in the England Athletics U13/U15/U17 Indoor Championships at Sheffield. Chisom added fifth place in long jump to complete a successful weekend.
 
In January at Lee Valley, U15 girl Chisom had posted a huge 12.58m in shot and 5.22m in long jump, putting her third and seventh in the national rankings in those events. Whilst not quite at that level in Sheffield, Chisom’s11.84m in shot was enough for bronze, and 5.03m enough for fifth in long jump, so a great weekend’s work.
 
Jemma Thomson was also competing in the U15 events and ran 8.52 in her 60m heat, a little down on her 8.32 PB from earlier in the season.

Spoiler Alert: Chiltern Harriers AC had some mega results at both events.

Dennis the Menace - parkrun and Barcelona Half Marathon

16/2/2020

 
Last week it was Ciara, this week it was Dennis getting in the way of racing. Alex Paul was so frustrated by it all that he headed off to Barcelona in order to get a race in (disclosure: I suspect Alex hd already booked this race before he watched the weather forecast). Alex completed the Barcelona Half Marathon today, Sunday 16 February, in a muy impresionante time of 1.23.12. ​

Chiltern Cross Country League - Match 5 at Campbell Park

10/2/2020

 
Chiltern Harriers rounded off the Chiltern Cross Country League season on a high with a match win at Campbell Park, Milton Keynes on Saturday. On tough, but surprisingly firm, hilly courses, Chiltern runners across the age groups ran very well to secure a rare match win. Several junior age groups ended up team winners and the club ended the season in a strong third place.

Parkrun report 8 February

9/2/2020

 
Between Chiltern League (look out for Steve Perkin's report) and Storm Ciara causing events to be cancelled, there's not too much for Race Report to report on this week, I'm afraid.

That said, a few highlights from parkrun events yesterday, Saturday 8 February:  Chiltern's Kate Loach and Ali Young both came away as first female finisher at Cassiobury Park (21.13) and Sizewell (21.38), respectively. Melanie Windridge ran her first ever parkrun in Tring (25.32), whilst there were all-time PBs for Claire and Nigel Dickinson in Scunthorpe (24.30 and 25.57, respectively).

COMING UP LOCALLY: Bramley 20/10, Harrow Hill 10k, Hardwick X-Stream, Gade Valley Marathon Training Run (17 miles), Winslow Lions 10k and Baldock Beast Half Marathon. Check the Club Calendar out for details of these events and more.

BUCS Cross Country Championships

4/2/2020

 
PictureRichard, Sam and Harry celebrating after the races
The annual cross country championships for students took place at Holyrood Park, Edinburgh on Saturday.
 
Four Chiltern Harriers took part representing their universities in this large, atmospheric and fun event.
 
The BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) Championships features an elite long A race for men restricted to six in a team, and a shorter B race with more athletes per university allowed, for those that did not get into the A team.
 
For the first time the women had the same two-race pattern.
 
Richard Slade was running for the University of Bath A team, and, with a target of top 50, had a great run to be 47th – compared to previous finishes of 144th at Exeter last year and 118th at Brunel in 2018. Richard was the second Bath finisher.
 
In the men’s shorter B race Harry Cox, running for Cambridge University, had a very good run to be 121st. Harry was 11th Cambridge finisher in a very large and strong team that won team bronze. Back from a stint at Monash University in Melbourne, Sam Howell ran in the B race for Warwick University. Sam was 278th, a creditable run in a huge field of 635 finishers.
 
Not to be outdone by the lads, Lizzie Barraclough had an excellent run to be 112th and seventh Leeds University finisher in the women’s B race which featured 495 finishers.
