We are still short of 4 or 5 marshals for the Hangover 10k on Sunday. If you're free and can spare a couple of hours, come and clear your head by the sea. Please drop me or Jim Wotton a line if you, your friends or your family can help that morning.

Thank you to everybody who came out tonight to help make the mile and 5 mile run such as success again. We had 310 finish the main race which I am sure must be a record for December which is always our smallest field of the year. No more races to organise now for at least ... 10 days. Thanks in advance to those who are going to come and help on New Years Day.

Hi Colin. Thanks for your kind comment about our "great race" the Christmas Cracker. Our race licence for the Cracker requires us to post results on a Gun to Chip time basis. This is common to most races including those arranged by your own club. We only post the chip to chip times for the benefit of individual runners. You can of course easily check the times of those runners in your category. Glad you enjoyed the race. Kind regards. Malcolm Gammon Race Director Christmas Cracker.

Help request Hangover 10K New Years day As many you will know, together with many of the other roles that I currently fill, I am also the race director for the Hangover 10K that takes place at 11:00am in Kewstoke from the Village Hall on New Years Day. This race has a limit of 250 but still needs quite an army of people to help put it on. Many people come and help every year but the problem is always getting people to confirm that they are coming so that I can get some sleep the nights before. After this year Martin Hurcombe is going to take on the role of race director and James Wotton has offered to be my chief marshal chaser so if you want to avoid having them on your case it would be great if you could drop me a mail at the address above confirming that you can help.

Hi, I wonder if you could present the recent Christmas Cracker results in Chip Time order rather than total time? You are not making the most of the chip data if you include the irrelevant time to cross the start and I can't easily see how I did against peers. Thanks for an otherwise great event.

Congratulations to all the runners who completed our two races today. We could not have planned enter weather! As always I am moved by the commitment and support we get from all the club members and friends. Without your support and commitment there would be no race. Can I say a special thank you to those members involved in managing the two medical cases out on the course. The situations were managed in a very professional and quick way and no doubt had an impact on the outcome. Well done everyone you can be very proud of what you achieved today. Thank you.

Hi Jim,
I deleted my London Marathon rejection e-mail a while ago. Didn't even think to keep it, so if you need to take me out of the WAC draw then so be it.
Hope to see you all over the Christmas period anyway. Cheers.

Hi John H,
Thanks for doing the results so quickly. I am sorry I forgot you are not on facebook. The current results for most of our people are gun times not chip times. Mine for some reason shows both and for instance I have a difference of 25 secs. Most of the ladies were behind me at the start so most will have quite a change to be made when the results are corrected in a few days time.
I will let you know when complete.

***Calling all Weston Halfers***
There are about 60 club members registered to run in Sunday's Weston half marathon. It would be great to get a big yellow team photo on the prom before the race.
The race starts at 9am, so we are going to do the photo at 8.40am on the prom just to the north side of the pier (between the pier and the Winter Gardens).
See you down there - eyes and teeth, eyes and teeth!

Spooky Run
Chadders we do need some help in the kitchen and hall whilst we are out running so if you have somebody who wants to come that would be fine. (depending on age) they could go for a quick wander round the village (to do a bit of spooking) then help out in the hall.
Gary
We are currently planning 3 routes with 2 groups doing the first and second route.
Colin/John will be taking one group on 5/6 route about 3.5 miles mainly road
There will be 2 groups doing the 3/4/5 route about 5 miles - I ran it this afternoon and it will be fine for road shoes
1 possibly 2 groups for 1/2/3 route they will do about 6 miles mainly off road and a bit hilly so off-road shoes probably best if you have them

Hi Fran,
We currently have 6 groups. Vanessa has been injured for quite a few months but is now back to fitness and she will be taking group 4 again from now on. Group 4 will be the slowest of the groups running the whole route (mostly about 8.5 miles) and I am sure that it will be at a suitable pace for you to start again. This week there are no led groups from HM as it is a club social night run from Bleadon Village Hall. At least one bit of spooky Halloween fancy dress is mandatory if you wish to join us. There will be a number of groups from about 3.5 miles upwards and pasties afterwards.

Well I have set myself the target of finishing all nine and cutting 2 mins off my time each month. A course record by May then. If I did social media I am sure there is a blog or vlog in there somewhere.
But I wouldn't expect such lofty ambitions from yourself, even though I know you have it in you. Another 5 maybe?

HI Lorna,
The club usually gets a couple of places which get drawn during the Christmas social run. The criteria to be included into the draw is that you have to have been a member since 2015 (I.e. you will have gone through one renewal process, you must also have paid the optional England Athletics Affiliation Fee on your membership & finaly you must have proof that you entered the ballot ie your rejection magazine or e-mail. If you qualify you need to let Jim Wotton know.

As always we are greatly thankful for the support of all the members and friends who turned out to help marshal and manage the event. Those helping out on the course and in race HQ did a superb job. Well done and thank you.

Hi Ian,
Glad that you enjoyed the session and it seems to have helped your injury.
Some of the drills that we did and reps that we ran are also mentioned in the Sept issue of Runners World. I get this posted and had it yesterday. Not sure when it will be in the shops though, I think they are still selling the August one.

Hi All,
Our first specifically targeted 10k training programme concluded with the races at Clevedon on the 14th June and Nailsea on the 24th June last Friday. Congratulations to everybody who ran and whether you achieved a p.b. on the night or not I am sure that your running will have benefited from taking part in the 10k course and thanks to Jason and Rob for organising and giving up their time.
Following the conclusion and listening to your feedback and requests we have decided to run a second programme this summer which will be aimed at half marathon training with a target race of Bristol on the 25/9 or Burnham on the 2/10 this year.
Jason and Rob will be supported by Carol O'Leary and me and we intend to continue with the focused sessions on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. As the most important single element will be developing your endurance (distance) we will also be strongly suggesting that you attend Thursday club nights and run with whichever group you currently do. Running 3 times a week is probably the minimum that you need to be able to commit to enable you to complete the half comfortably following the 12 week programme which will start w/c 4/7 with the 5k Handicap on Tuesday 5th July.
The programme will be aimed at people currently running in groups 3 to 5 and our plan will be to undertake the drills, int/reps, lactate/tempo and hill sessions on Tuesday nights and the increasing distance run on Saturday mornings. As we get further into the programme you will be running on Saturday mornings in smaller groups distances of 11/12 or further miles. So if we start at 8:00am depending on your pace you will not be finishing some of these in under 2 hours. If time is difficult for you on Saturday then perhaps you could start earlier and complete some miles and then join the group for the remainder and finish when you need to. We understand that you may not be able to make every session and we will be able to advise beforehand what you should try and do later on Saturday or Sunday or Monday by yourself if you wish. Being able to keep up with the progressive increase in mileage is an important element though. Having said that if you are able to complete most of the sessions over the 12 week period I am sure that you will all be capable of completing a half.
I know a number of people who took part in the 10k programme are keen to be involved but this new programme is open to all club members normally running in groups 3 to 5. As mentioned above we intend to start the new group from w/c 4/7 with the suggestion that you run the handicap on Tuesday with the first distance run on Saturday 7th July so please can you drop me a mail as soon as possible to confirm your interest. Numbers will be limited to 20 so please act quickly if you wish to be involved.

The programme will be aimed at people currently running in groups 3 to 5 and our plan will be to undertake the drills, int/reps, lactate/tempo and hill sessions on Tuesday nights and the increasing distance run on Saturday mornings. As we get further into the programme you will be running on Saturday mornings in smaller groups distances of 11/12 or further miles. So if we start at 8:00am depending on your pace you will not be finishing some of these in under 2 hours. If time is difficult for you on Saturday then perhaps you could start earlier and complete some miles and then join the group for the remainder and finish when you need to. We understand that you may not be able to make every session and we will be able to advise beforehand what you should try and do later on Saturday or Sunday or Monday by yourself if you wish. Being able to keep up with the progressive increase in mileage is an important element though. Having said that if you are able to complete most of the sessions over the 12 week period I am sure that you will all be capable of completing a half.
I know a number of people who took part in the 10k programme are keen to be involved but this new programme is open to all club members normally running in groups 3 to 5. As mentioned above we intend to start the new group from w/c 4/7 with the suggestion that you run the handicap on Tuesday with the first distance run on Saturday 7th July so please can you drop me a mail as soon as possible to confirm your interest. Numbers will be limited to 20 so please act quickly if you wish to be involved.

Ray Chell Funeral Arrangements
The Mercury is reporting that Ray's funeral is arranged for Friday 15th July 11.15 at Weston Crematorium. Family flowers only, no black - bright colours.
This seems to be a long way away and I will confirm if anything changes.

The junior parkrun has been running for a month already and the feedback we have received is very positive. If any of you fancy helping out one Sunday just go to Weston junior parkrun webpage a few days beforehand to get in touch. (You need not turn up until 8.45am and you will probably be back home by 10am at the latest). Thanks to those who have helped already

Lots of us have been swimming cycling and running over the last couple of weeks so it's been hard keeping track of everyone's efforts. Well done to everyone, but I wanted to congratulate two members in particular.
Paul Snelling who became the 2016 ITU Sprint Duathlon World Champion in his age group and Andrew Salter who completed his fifth Iron distance race at the Lakesman last weekend... he did it in style too, claiming first place in his age category.
I've updated the Tri championship, if I've missed anyone, let me know.

It is with great sadness that I pass on news of the death of Ray Chell yesterday. Ray was one of our oldest serving club members and an inspiration to us all still running into his eighties, I saw him out only a few weeks ago.
I am told he was in good health and working on his allotment when at this stage it is presumed that he suffered a heart attack. Despite the determined efforts of the emergency services they were unable to revive him.
I will let you know when we hear details of the funeral arrangements.

Beacon Batch next tuesday 21st June. We have a good number of marshalls which is fantastic. If you are down to marshall and I have not given you a message could you turn up at the Burrington Inn for 6:30pm. We would like as many club members to either run, marshall or just come along and watch. I do not really need more marshalls (providing everybody turns up) so feel free to run. Either way, please come along and support.

I will be driving myself from Worle on the day so I can offer a lift to anyone in the Weston area. I appreciate it is short notice but you never know. Cheers

DB Max have assured me that they hold their own insurance for their events, but please be aware that if a triathlon does not a permit, results will not be eligible for the championship. Events that hold a BTF license are listed at www.britishtriathlon.org

We have been told by parkrun go for a 'soft launch' in order for us to get used to running our event. As much as we would like to see lots of children more importantly we would love to hear from any volunteers. All you do is go to the roster page on our Weston junior park run webpage and send us an email whenever you fancy.

401 Challenge - run 374 Thurs 8th Sept
Not sure how many of you are following the incredible progress Ben is making but today he ran marathon 257. He is coming back to Weston 8th Sept to run his 374th with us.
If you have followed his blog you will know that he has had some really large turnouts to run with him and to keep him going as it gets tougher. Looks like he had about 50 join him today. Ian and I would like to try and get a really good club support for him so please put the date in your diary and perhaps book a day off to join us if you can.

As always we are indebted to all those members and friends who turn out to help each month in good and bad weather, without you these races would not happen. Special thanks to the prom organising team who work hard each month in race HQ and outside to provide a great race.
Thanks also to Rob for putting on another great junior race series, something we can all be very proud to be involved with.
Looking forward to the next series!

Really good turnout for the first 'summer' social run I hope that the leaders looked after you and you enjoyed the routes.
Next Thursday is the first of the TACH races(Town and Country Harriers)and the following Thursday (12/5) is the May and last of the series Prom races.
So the next social that Paul Snelling is planning is on the 19/5 probably from the Commodore in Kewstoke. Hopefully the weather may be a little warmer by then and we will try to organise a bit of food and cakes.

Well done yesterday you were showing as Weston on the tracker so many of us followed your progress around the course even though we may not have seen you on TV.
Please remember (and everybody else) that if we do get club places for 2017 you must have entered the main ballot and been rejected by London (you will find out in Oct) to enter the WAC draw.
The ballot opens next Monday 2/5

Hi all
Just wanted to say that whilst it was a last minute entry, I also completed the London Marathon yesterday. It wasn't a good time as I had very little time to train prior to it and so managed it in 4:45. Hoping to get a place earlier next year (hopefully through WAC this time) so that I actually have time to train!
Well done everyone for your amazing efforts, it was an incredible day, so well organised and the support was better than any race I have ever done!!

I may be wrong but a performance elsewhere may have been missed - there were a lot of posts yesterday - Chris McMillan's 3rd place, in a top quality field at Pensford 10km, shouldn't be overlooked.

It's taken a while but I have now finished the April handicap result and posted on the site with the May start times.
For one month only (to start with anyway)we are trialling individual start times from 30 minutes rather than 26.00 so please can you take the time to have a look at your new start time for the run on 3rd May which will be on the Morrisons summer route

Good Luck to all fellow competitors for this weekend's London Marathon. I will look out for all the yellow perils out there, as I will be running for the Club.
My number is 21492 and I will be waiting for my family at 'W' for Weston at the finish from around 13:30pm all being well.
I do have a VirginMoneyGiving page for Weston Hospicecare under MarkaaHill if you wish to donate. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MarkAAHill

Yes John. Convention is, I put runners in finish order, and where a female runner is in top three, they get mention ahead - as Niki did at a race recently.
It's just the convention, and is absolutely not intended to diminish the efforts of any of our female runners. Like I'd do that!
The important thing is that people's achievements get mentioned and not what order they get mentioned in, so where the information is available at the time I write the reports (early Sunday evening pretty much every week) I will mention our top three men and women, age category winners, and course or distance PBs (where I can).
Championship races always get covered, and if it's a quiet week on the championship front, I'll pick up others, including triathlons.
Interested to hear views of female runners too on this.

Always great reports each week but in this age of equality why are the Men's results always mentioned first. Come on news hounds lets get ourselves into the 21st century.

A couple of people have mentioned issues with the online membership system however you are not giving us enough information to go on to help resolve the issue. A couple of pointers:
1 - Don't get confused between the password you use for the Weston AC site and the Regonline.ActiveEurope Online Membership system; they are separate and distinct systems.
2 - Select the "Start a new registration" option if you are getting password issues.
3 - If using a tablet/mobile phone try using a normal laptop or desktop device instead.
If you continue to get problems please email us using the link above.

Thank you to Malcolm, Jim and everyone who made Thursday night's prom run a great one. The encouragement on the way round definitely puts a spring in your step. One more to go!

Hi all,
Thanks for all the interest and I would confirm that I now have enough names for the first course.
If you are interested please will you continue to send me a note so that we can see the total demand for such a programme. We can then consider how we may be best able support your needs. Perhaps an additional course later in the summer tagetting the Langport 10K in August or perhaps changes to one of our usual Tuesday sessions and the introduction of a further Saturday session on the seafront.
Thanks for all the interest.

Run of the year must be Adrian's 3:01:16 marathon. We rightly praise sub-3 efforts but using the WAVA age-grading tables this equates to a phenomenal 2:38:00. Fantastic.
