Cheshire Half Marathon Race Report number 2 ⬇️

Kamile, who clocked 1:33 at the Cheshire Half Marathon on the 13th September. This is a great result for Kamile as she builds towards the Chicago Marathon in just four weeks! 🇺🇸🏃‍♀️ exciting times!

This result is a really positive marker for Kamile and the progress she has made over the last 4–6 months. We’ve had to build her training carefully and patiently through the summer, taking into account her previous history, so to now see her putting together consistent training and racing strongly is hugely rewarding.

The last few months have shown exactly what Kamile is capable of when she gets a good, full and consistent block of training behind her. This half marathon was a great opportunity to put her fitness to the test, and she has come away with plenty of confidence heading into the final few weeks of marathon preparation.

We’ve got Kamile in a really good place, and this is a great indication that she’s ready to step up to the marathon next month.

There’s still plenty more to come from Kamile, and we’re excited to see what she can do in Chicago! 💪🇺🇸

Super proud of you, Kamile Stanelyte , onwards to Chicago! Let’s gooooo 🏙️🏃‍♀️

MANSFIELD 10K — 54:42

A brilliant performance from Jamie at Mansfield 10K, finishing in 54:42 — his second-fastest 10K ever and only around 25 seconds away from his PB!

The opening stages were perhaps a little enthusiastic, but after a couple of slightly steadier km’s Jamie settled into a strong, consistent rhythm and managed the effort really well across a course that was certainly far from flat.

The final climb demanded plenty, but once over the top it was time to take the brakes off, get the legs turning and attack the downhill run to the finish.

What makes this result particularly encouraging is the bigger picture. After patiently rebuilding his consistency over recent months, training has really started to click. The long runs have become a strength, the tempo work is increasingly controlled, and a recent fastest 5K of 2026 showed that fitness was moving firmly in the right direction.

Now 54:42 on a challenging course and within touching distance of his 10K PB gives us another fantastic marker of that progress.

Plenty more to come.

Second-fastest 10K ever. 54:42. Another big step forward.

MANSFIELD 10K | ELLIE B

Another brilliant performance from Ellie at the Mansfield 10K, crossing the line in 41:37 and taking a second off last years race time!

There’s so much to be positive about with this one. After a summer where training has had to fit around plenty of challenges and the focus has predominantly been on rebuilding the aerobic foundations, Ellie has shown fantastic patience and consistency.

Over the last few weeks we’ve finally been able to start layering the quality back in — and she’s responded superbly.

To come straight back into racing and run faster than she did here last year is a massive positive and a fantastic indication of where the fitness is heading.

And this is only the beginning of the autumn block.

41:37. Training clicking into place. Plenty more to come.

Absolutely brilliant, Ellie. What a way to get the next phase started! 🙌🏼🔥 RunThrough | Running Events & Community

Hannah Thomson – Maribyrnong River Run Half Marathon - Melbourne

A brilliant return to half marathon racing for RunShack athlete Hannah Thomson at the Maribyrnong River Run!

This was Hannah’s first half marathon since having her second child, making getting back onto a HM start line a pretty special milestone in itself.

After rebuilding her running over the last few months and juggling training alongside family life and returning to work, the goal was simple: keep things controlled, take it steady and enjoy being back over the distance.

And that’s exactly what she did.

Hannah ran a really sensible, composed race and came away very happy with her first half marathon back. No need to chase anything on this one — getting 21.1 km back under the belt and finishing positively was the result we wanted.

There have already been some great signs of progress during this block, including a 24:52 parkrun PB, and this is another big step forward.

Huge well done Hannah — a fantastic return! 👏🏃‍♀️

ROCK THE LOUGH HALF MARATHON | MARTIN STRACHAN

A strong day out Martin Strachan, taking 3rd place overall in 1:19 at the Rock the Lough Half Marathon — and his first race wearing the North Down AC vest.

This was far from a straightforward road half. Martin found himself running solo from gun to tape, settling into a good rhythm through the opening half and maintaining a decent pace before the character of the race changed completely.

At halfway came the trails — over 5km of tight, technical running, with twists, turns and terrain that was much more challenging than expected. Rather than forcing the pace when conditions stopped rewarding it, Martin adapted, settled into third and managed the second half intelligently.

A solid effort, a podium finish and £50 in the bank — not a bad Sunday’s work!

More importantly, this was another strong training stimulus within a much bigger block. The half marathon was never the main target; everything continues to point towards one thing.

All eyes on Dublin now. ☘️

THE BIG HALF – MATTHEW NAISBIT

A seriously strong marathon-specific day from Matthew at The Big Half.

Rather than racing it flat out, the goal was to use the event as the quality section of a 37km marathon session:

8km easy → The Big Half at controlled marathon effort → 8km easy

Matthew ran the half in 1:19, averaging around 3:45/km, with an average HR of 151 bpm — exactly the kind of controlled effort we wanted.

The most impressive part was the discipline. With the atmosphere, competition and closed roads it would have been very easy to get carried away, but he kept the bigger Berlin picture in mind, settled into rhythm and treated the race as training rather than a time trial.

Then came the important bit — another 8km afterwards to extend the session and keep working on tired legs.

A huge marathon-specific stimulus, another big confidence marker, and further evidence that the Berlin build is coming together really well.

37km banked. Quality in the middle. Control throughout.

Now we recover, absorb it, and keep building.

RUNSHACK RACE REPORT

Athlete: Kev Pounder
Race: Wilne 10K

Another brilliant performance from Kev at the Wilne 10K, producing his second-fastest 10K ever and finishing an excellent 88th overall from more than 1,100 runners.

This one came at the end of a really strong training block. Recent weeks have combined high mileage, improving threshold work, HM-specific long runs and some excellent 400m sessions — and Wilne gave Kev the opportunity to put that fitness onto the road.

What stands out most is the consistency of Kev’s progression. Earlier in the year the goal was to break 1:30 for the half marathon. Since then we’ve seen a huge HM PB, strong performances across multiple distances, a 10K PB at Grimsby, and now another sub-39-level performance at Wilne while training volume and endurance continue to develop.

This wasn’t about one breakthrough race — it was another confirmation that the overall level has moved.

A really strong run, a great result in a competitive field, and another positive marker as the focus now shifts increasingly towards Robin Hood and Cardiff Half Marathon.

RUNSHACK RACE REPORT — KAY POWER AT WILNE 10K

A brilliant run from RunShack athlete Kay Power at the Wilne 10k, crossing the line in 60:16 after a really strong and composed performance.

This was not a fresh, tapered race effort either. Kay went into the weekend with a proper training block already in the legs — a quality tempo session on Friday, a 90-minute long run on Saturday, and then the 10k race on Sunday.

Despite the heat, Kay executed the race superbly. She stayed calm, controlled and consistent throughout.

Her own words after the race said it best:

“Felt solid and steady. Feel very happy!”

That is exactly the kind of confidence-building race we wanted. Not just because of the time, but because of the way it was delivered — strong mindset, sensible pacing, and a real sign that the endurance work is starting to come together.

A fantastic run, Kay, and another big step forward as we build towards the Robin Hood Half Marathon.

Strong, steady and full of confidence.

Bailey’s Runshack Rave Report ⬇️
Race: Cheshire Half Marathon
Name: Hannah Harding
Date: Monday 14th September 2026

A fantastic run from Hannah at the Cheshire Half Marathon, where she ran a brilliant PB of 1:34:17!

Another half marathon PB this year is testament to the continuous improvement Hannah has made across all distances throughout the year, and this result is a great reflection of the form she has built.

With Hannah having a busy summer, the focus was simply on maintaining her fitness, keeping her ticking over and, most importantly, keeping her healthy ready for her next specific training block and it’s paid off! 🙌

This is a great example of how consistency really does serve you well. You don’t always need to be pushing for big training weeks or chasing PBs every session. Sometimes maintaining the work you’ve built and staying healthy is exactly what you need before pushing on again.

Well done Hannah! 💙👏 Another PB in the bag and plenty more to come!

RUNSHACK RACE REPORT | DAN WHEAT

A change of terrain and another excellent performance from Dan at the Great Longstone Fell Race.

After a big weekend in the Lake District the previous week, the early part of this week was deliberately kept controlled before re-engaging for Friday night’s race.

Dan delivered another really strong result:

6th overall and 1st V40.

A completely different challenge from the road and track work we’ve been doing. Constant changes in gradient, technical terrain and the demands of climbing and descending make fell racing a very different test, but Dan handled it superbly.

There was no big taper for this one either. It fitted into the wider training block as another quality stimulus, yet Dan was still able to race competitively throughout and come away with 6th overall and the V40 win.

Another great performance and further evidence of the strength and versatility he’s developing.

Strong on the road, strong on the track and now a V40 win on the fells.
