Eyam fell race for the team, making hard running look easy 💅

Back to training next Tuesday! New term, new people always welcome.

We meet at 6pm at our HQ, Summat behind Fat Face Off Matlock St

See you there!

We are SO proud of Caru! She quietly goes about doing the most amazing things, never drawing attention to herself, always encouraging others. We couldn’t let this adventure go by, simply had to hear more…

After many months of training in the sunshine and heat for a hot French ultra, the start more closely resembled that of a soggy Welsh autumn day…
The first climb required a complete outfit change after a thorough soaking but it was a great flowing trail throughout the rest of the day. Another soaking before Champex-Lac, where Rich was waiting with clean clothes and some warm food. Setting off into the night, the skies cleared and the full moon rose above Martigny.
Reaching Triente checkpoint, Caru had a double headtorch failure, which she thought would be a race ender but managed to charge the torch and have a 2 hour nap, and set off again on the big climb to Vallorcine. The early morning hours were beautiful with a full moon and stars out,and as soon as the sun came out it was a gorgeous sunny day.
After reaching Vallorcine, the last checkpoint, Caru downed a cup of black instant coffee and some plain pasta for breakfast, and it was fast and flat through the valley floor, through the forest above Chamonix, over the footbridge where Asia was waiting, and through the cheering crowd of Chamonix to the finish line where Rich was holding fort

An epic finish to a great race!

Summer fell season continues in full Summer mode with a hot, hot, hot Ricky’s Race hosted by Matlock AC

David & Charlotte came away with 5th place each 🌟 👯🌟

Unfortunately, Claire came away having had a tumble so her race ended in a trip to A&E. Very grateful for the help and care she received 🙏🏻

Up to 8 x 600m/ 5 x 100m/ 5 x 50m session last night around the ABC which provided Summer evening shade

We all train together, adapting the session so everyone gets the best out of it. A core value of our club is that everyone can work together and we are delighted that our most recent C25K graduates are getting stuck into focused sessions 🌟
