Race report – Hanney 5 – October 2nd 2022
I entered the Hanney 5 as part of a training plan (thanks coach Ian K!!) to get back to running in the double digits as a target after regularly only running 5-6 miles.
...I first visited Longworth in 1988. I was living in York as a student and had never been to Oxfordshire before.
...The Cotswold Classic, aka Witney 10, has been a regular fixture in the Club Championship for as long as I can remember.
...I'd entered the series as usually these are good events and I thought it could help me regain some fitness!
...Inspired by Graham Bridges t shirt “I might be old but I saw all the best bands” (or similar!), I’ll borrow from the Style Council as the “Long Hot Summer” continues.
...Hornton Classic 6 review by Andy Egan
An intrepid, some might say slightly mad, bunch of 11 Eynsham Roadrunners made their way to Hornton on 16 July in balmy 27C heat for the return of this 6 mile Saturday evening road race.
...26 club members took part, a cracking turnout for this 5pm Saturday local gem of a race in Cumnor.
...Wytham woods run is a tough race, do not expect to do a 10k PB, I would say add a good 6mm on top of your normal flat 10k road.
...After a lot of uncertainty about how the race season would be affected due to the omicron strain at the end of 2021 it was the case of just enter anything and see what happens.
