Lordshill Road Runners - Road Races

We had 3 teams taking part in the inaugural 'tour of the shore' race yesterday hosted brilliantly by .

All teams displayed excellent performances on a day with temperatures reaching into the 30's - luckily there was a breeze which helped cool us down but which also created a head wind on parts of the 4.2 mile course.

The race was a relay that started at 8am & finished @ 8pm & 1 of our teams (the Shirley Massive) took the win ahead of another of our teams The Ladyhillers). Also worth noting is that the ladyhillers only had 4 members in the team with 1 of the team running 6 laps (almost a marathon) with some very impressive lap times & consistency. 3rd was a team from our hosts & our 3rd team just missed the podium in 4th.

Safe to say we all really enjoyed this event; hanging with friends whilst recovering, chilling & preparing for our next laps, discussing tactics, cooling off & trying not to burn, having a good laugh then adding in some strong running with good support.

Now it's time to rest up ahead of, fir some of us, training again tomorrow (possibly an easy session for many of us) as it's consistency that pays off in the long term.

Well done to everyone who ran the Romsey 5 mile beer race 🍺. Congratulations to Caitlin on 2nd female overall and Jill and Alan who both won the V60 categories 👏🏻.

Also well done everyone who took park in the Copythorne 5k/10k last night, seems like a great event which has raised money for charity, something we are very keen on at this club.

What a great turnout for the RR10 at River Hamble Country Park! Well done to everyone who ran - some brilliant running and results.

LRR WNT (Lordshill Road Runners Wednesday Night Training) coaching session.

Last night, and after a good warm up, we did a hill session with efforts up a graduate 400m slope with recovery back down that lasted 25 minutes. Then we had a cool down & stretches.

Lovely to see a few new faces as well as plenty of regulars.

Well done everyone,

Parkrun tourism & cc6 recce 👍

A successful inaugural MNT for Lordshill Trail Runners took place last night. We sought out the most technical trails possible in LW & then enjoyed some golden hour rays ☀️ through the tall pines 🌲during our cool down.

Great running last weekend from team LRR across Europe, putting the winter training to good use, and fantastic to see a group of LRR ladies having fun together in Berlin.

🎉🏃‍♀️ We took over Southampton Parkrun! 🏃‍♂️🎉

A huge congratulations to our amazing Couch-to-5K graduates who absolutely smashed their run today! 💪👏 Tracy, Catherine, Nasira, Bev, Noel, Marieta, Louise, Karen and Cathy - your hard work, dedication, and determination have paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder! 2 first timers and 2 PBs - wow!!!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to support, volunteer, and cheer—it truly was a celebration of running, community, and achievement. ✨

Over 50 Lordshillers ran today, and
over 50 Lordshillers volunteered!

We even had two milestones:
Heather with 25, and
Malcolm with a whopping 550!

Here’s to many more miles ahead! 🏅🔥

It looks like our short distance, age graded, club race, where we could use any parkrun of our choice, was a great success with more than 120 of our members, according to Park Run data*, taking part at more than 30 different parkruns, the most exotic that we've seen being Vejen in Denmark.

The results will be released asap but please bear with us as complicated maths are involved.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part & the organisers including parkrun volunteers.

*We'll need to check this against our current members list.

Last CC6 of the season, Itchen Valley Country Park. Well done everyone for your hard work in this series of races.

Saturday saw the team back at parliament hill for the iconic national cross country championships, a bucket list race for many runners.

Great effort team LRR.
