We are back out racing! It's been a while Ful-on Tri, but the first couple of weekends of racing, in more than 6 months, has produced some amazing results. Well done to all of those back out competing, it certainly looks like the competitive spirit has not been dampened. Some Ironman branded events are resuming [...]
Welcome back to your weekly race report… with one small nuance… there are no races to report on. One of the responsibilities of the Ful-on Tri Fixtures Secretary is to write and publish a weekly race report, unfortunately it seems as though this won’t be required for the foreseeable future, and it is with [...]
As I sit watching Boris urge us all to stay indoors, I hope that everyone is keeping safe and well and as far away from each other as possible. We are being a responsible club, and have cancelled all group training sessions, however many of our coaches have stepped up to the challenge by offering [...]
Welcome to the latest Ful-on Tri racing news report, and hopefully not the last for the next few weeks. Despite the impending end of civilisation, it was good to see several events had gone ahead at the weekend. Obviously, the news has not all been positive. You will have seen major events moving to postpone, [...]
It’s that time of the year again – the London League has arrived once more – and, pending the official LL table, it looks like we put a good first shot across the bows. We also had our first triathlon of 2020, a bevy of long and hilly trail runs, more half-marathon action, an alternative [...]
A lot happens when you leave your keyboard alone for a fortnight, not least the sky has nearly turned blue again. We’ve also had two fantastic weekends of racing. For the most part half marathons, they also included more Crit racing and our first TT event of the season. To help share what your race [...]
With Dennis hot on the foot of Ciara, who would have thought we’d have any racing this weekend. Well, we did. One mildly intrepid soul on Saturday, and two far more adventurous / foolhardy club member on Sunday – both running. But before we dig into the weekend’s stormy exploits – it appears that [...]
Well… we just about squeezed in the final races of Cross Country before Ciara hit. This was the only racing of the weekend, but some great performances nonetheless. Lloyd Park held up its reputation as a set Sam Mendes would be proud of. Slightly more genteel conditions in Richmond Park. All followed by a well-earned [...]
Well, a lot has happened since our last Race Report, not least a changing of the guard at the top – welcome to our new Chairman, Richard Harper. The weather definitely cleared and warmed up a bit too, making for pleasant (if breezy) racing conditions this weekend. Obviously, there was also a day of varied [...]
Hopefully everyone got their racing and training in before the weather finally broke this afternoon. We had 4 events taking place over the weekend: cycling, trail running, cross country, and a 10k. Southern Cross-Country Championships Over at Parliament Hill, John Borton was racing in the South of England Cross Country Champs – 8.4 [...]
Well, winter briefly showed its face this weekend with ice cancelling the Saturday morning ride. And, for the most part people either elected to stay indoors (doing dry January and eating pity chocolates or claiming a turbo session). However, we did have one brave soul out racing. Run Through: Richmond Park Half Marathon [...]
Storm Brendan fortunately decided to arrive after the weekend, resulting in relatively “pleasant” off-road conditions for our two penultimate Cross Country matches of the season. Alongside these, we also had racing at Dorney Lake, a race in Portugal, and a trail run in Hampshire. Men’s Cross Country Race 3 – Oxshott Woods Conditions [...]
Happy New Year, and welcome to a new decade! Hopefully we’ve all rested and returned fresh, if not a little heavier and in need of our well run training sessions. Some of the club kick started their calendar year’s racing this weekend (I’m guessing it offsets the depression of taking down the decorations). All running [...]
It’s beginning to look a lot like… a rather damp Christmas. Good to see the Saturday ride successfully avoided the various overflowing rivers. However, some of the club decided rain and mud was just the thing for a good race. As a special Christmas treat, I have also updated the Race Calendar, and produced a [...]
Well we’re 17 chocolates/lego models/bizarre pictures into advent and this is your penultimate race report before Christmas. There are a load more races on the club events calendar, so please have a look – if you’ve already entered things, or even if you’re stuck for ideas! Of course, this weekend, we only had two events [...]
So, apologies for the repeat link in the Newsletter – no, you’re not trapped in Groundhog day… unless you’re on your turbo – in which case… maybe. The weekend gone did actually feature a few new races and exploits. Ms Wright was back in action on a “short” run in the Southern Hemisphere. Rob Argles [...]
Advent has officially begun and like that temperatures plummet and the trees remove the last of their leafy clothing. All this didn’t stop our club from racing. We had four big races, all tough in different ways, and all deserving of a big shout out from us – even though two of them probably garnered [...]
It’s still one week until the official countdown to Christmas, but don’t let that stop you deciding now that you need (I mean really need) to buy your Ful-on Tri Christmas party ticket (14th December)! It’s the best club evening… and you get to congratulate, or be one of, our award winners!! We guarantee that [...]
Winter is coming. Well it certainly was at Epsom Racecourse on Saturday. Time to dig out those woolly hats again! This weekend was round 2 for Cross Country, and outside of that we didn’t have too much else going on aside from a bumpy half marathon in Spain. But first - the end of season [...]
What do you do when the local weather is blowing a gale and dumping rain incessantly? Well, you go race abroad. That’s just what our intrepid squad of club members did this weekend across one marathon and one triathlon. Sadly, for those racing closer to home, the inclement weather put a stop on the other [...]
Coming a little late – paying the bills can be a bit of a distraction – this is what we were up to over the weekend. Quite a varied mix of races: distance running and cycling, and a triathlon. Do remember that, as recent club announcements (and previous race reports) have mentioned, we have the [...]
Well, we’re one weekend into the new season, and there is no let up in triathlon results. There were a few others out competing in more traditional running races and duathlons too. Somewhere in the mix there was even a running version of the Rumble in the Jungle. Before we dive into the recent [...]
How better to mark the change of Seasons than with the final Triathlon of 2018-19 (Kona) and the first of the Surrey League Cross Country races. We had running races of all distances and an aquathlon too! Before we dip into the final results of the season, a few updates: The race calendar is resurrected [...]
As the sun sets gradually towards the Hawaiian horizon our last weekend of the 2018-19 season shook forth a few worthy results – namely two triathlons and two long running races. Bournemourth Marathon Stretching his autumn legs, Nick Crandon took part in Bournemouth’s south coast marathon this weekend, finishing in a great 4hr [...]
Writing at the end of a damp and blustery weekend, it’s great to see so many of the club still out racing. We also – DRUM ROLL – seem to have a race calendar where you can see who’s entered again! We did of course have our own club-run event “The Legs of Steel”. I [...]
Good evening fellow tri peeps. The evenings may be getting darker early, and the season may be drawing to a close, but we still have a tonne of races to celebrate. The main events (for the club) this weekend were the final race of the London League (very much deciding our Men’s, Women’s, Mixed and [...]
I should first apologise for the unusual delay in turning around not one but three race reports. My goal with these is to avoid (as far as humanly possible) leaving any man or woman behind – you all do some fantastic races and the last thing I’d want is to create a report that selectively [...]
Whilst some of us have been sizzling in the heat, others have been producing some sizzling results in last week’s races - forget the Vuelta and the Cricket. Athletics, triathlon, sportive and swimming filled the results hopper this time around. But first, a reminder that we have a big September coming up. We have 3 [...]
After last week’s solo racer report, we’re back on track with a weekend of mountains, fast cycling, mud, tunnels and triathlon records. Swiss Alps 100 This looked both a beauty and a brute of a run. Based in the Swiss mountains, 3 options were available: 50km; 100km and 160km (running through the night). [...]
It's quiet... too quiet. But, we did have one race over the weekend. Eton Standard Triathlon Our very own Alexie Calvert-Ansari was out racing at Dorney Lake this weekend. In this standard distance tri, he not only grabbed second place overall, but also broke the 2hr barrier, in a fantastic time of 1hr [...]
I can officially say that whilst one can race 100 miles on barely any training… it’s not that wise. Bacon and eggs this morning never felt so guilt free. Numbers wise we had a very 2-wheeled and aquatic weekend. We did have a few triathlons too though. Previous report omission Thanks to Xavier for [...]
This weekend capped one of the most spectator friendly Tour de France 3 weeks for quite some time, without the typical team Sky/Ineos race shut-downs, and a fantastic set of results for Colombia, France (despite shedding the yellow jersey with the alpine weather) and Slovakia (in the ever present and dynamic form of Peter Sagan). [...]
Before we get into this week’s race round up, sadly we had some very bad news yesterday: three of our fastest club racers were the subject of a nasty bike crash. Whilst John Borton escaped the full collision, Ruth Purbrook was in A&E with a broken collar bone, and James Ellis unfortunately came off worse [...]
The weather gods were kind again as we had another big weekend of racing. We may be a multi-talented club taking on varied events, but the London League is where it’s at – and finally we stuck in a massive performance. Orbiting around the edges of the Rumble at the Theme Park were also some [...]
Coming back from a long weekend in the mountains, and I find that the weekend I am late in reporting on is also somewhat… long! Well, long in racing distances and achievements. Some, on the club Facebook page, might have thought the weekend was all about Roth. In some ways it was. But in many [...]
Firstly, apologies for the delay in issuing the Race Report - I've been busy with bugs that help recycle rubber. With indoor temperatures still falling, the dust is still settling from a hot weekend of great racing. And what a mix it was: one London League race; 8 triathlons (including 2 Full Ironman events); an [...]
A mostly triathlon focused weekend, with Middle Distance and London League racing going on. Some great race results that go beyond the few glimpses scene on Social media. Immortal Wimbleball Over in Exmoor National Park (a beautiful part of the UK if you haven’t been), Immortal’s latest event, at Wimbleball lake, was being [...]
Congratulations to everyone who was out racing this weekend, and over the previous week. With the weather settling into a fairly typical British Summer pattern, there was a mix of rain, wind and sunshine to add some extra zest to the several triathlons, runs, swim and epic cycle adventure that made up the most recent [...]
So, a bit of a story of 2 sides this weekend. We had some stellar performances by several of our club. However, somewhat offsetting this was a bit of a poor weekend for hygiene factors such as racing for the club or posting in advance what races our members are doing. A small dip we [...]
A hot weekend, and we managed 5 triathlons and a couple of sportives! Blenheim Triathlon The now regular annual feature of the sprint triathlon races at scenic Blenheim palace was on this weekend. Perhaps not the best value for money race, it is certainly one that rivals most for the setting (including the Castle [...]
A veritable mixed bag of races over the last May Bank Holiday weekend - who said running events were last season! In the mix we had some fantastic London League results, as well as some great triathlon / multisport performances! Total Motion Aquathlon Down in Tooting, in the tropically warm waters of Tooting Bec [...]
Only a week has flown by and we have a bevy of triathlons to report on again. The main event of the weekend was the Club Sprint Champs out at Eton Dorney rowing lake, but we also had middle distances, some mountain racing, and a TT in the mix. Eton Sprints – Club [...]
A fantastic weekend of racing, kickstarting the tri season with a suitable bang. We had London League racing at Crystal Palace, Middle Distances a plenty, and an early race at Dorney lake. All this spanning 4 countries. But before we get to all those results... a bit of admin. I’ve been gently nudging you all [...]
With a sizeable portion of the club out sunning themselves... sorry, training... out in Mallorca, this weekend might have been a quiet one. However, we still notched up two Middle distance tris, a marathon, an ultra, a couple of standard tris, and a local sprint tri. Pontevedra Tri Cross Amanda Pirie was out racing [...]
Triathlon season is finally here, despite the reports of yet more running. As proof we actually have triathlon race results to report! Oh, and there were some full and half marathon things going on too. Possibly a surprise TT in the mix as well. Saturday - ELCTS Pembrokeshire Half Marathon Our lone Ful-on-Tri runner [...]
A busy weekend: the sun visited; beer gardens filled; the Easter bunny painfully laid many egg shaped sweets; and, several of the club honoured the unofficial tradition of visiting the beach at Brighton. But (thankfully – given this week has seen me starting a new contract and moving flats) not many races occurred. In fact, [...]
The sun came out for a glorious weekend of racing. And it was a weekend of firsts: first Marathons; first race for our Club Chairwoman (for the season anyway); first middle distance in Greece. With Easter just around the corner, sit back for the last (or possibly penultimate) race report before Tri season officially begins. [...]
Well, apologies to all those poker faced club members who did or did not remember it was April 1st last Monday. Sadly this report is more factually correct. In a weekend where the real student (non-Olympian ringer) boat race didn't even get a mention on live tv (or the news reports), I will try to [...]
Another gorgeous weekend has flown by, and this can only mean one thing - it will snow this summer. Fortunately, all of our club racers managed to decide exactly what it was they wanted this week, and managed to complete it all by the end of March too. Though, we had a shorter list of [...]
Spring is in the air, the blossom is out on the trees, the sun has ventured out for entire days at a time, the clocks are about to change, and meaningful vote 3 (presumably the worst of the trilogy) is days, months, years, or even days away. In this balmy climate of détente, we had [...]
Gear up for a lot of racing news, as the high winds, rain and hail did nothing to deter the 36 club members out racing this weekend. And we’ve had some seriously fast racing to boot. As it’s not quite spring (but only 3 days to go!!), be prepared for a lot of half marathons, [...]
Today is apparently the calm before a wet and windy week ahead - with the potential joy of hailstones tomorrow evening. No brimstone as yet. I’ve been assured we can choose our own weather by the end of the month though. Despite the blustery conditions over the weekend, as usual our hardy club was out [...]
Storm Freya (yes that is the Norse goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, war and death - so basically the Game of Thrones deity) has passed over this weekend, and yet we still had some racing on. OK - some of this was in the muddy battlefields of Lloyd Park - but… not all. [...]
It’s been yet another weekend where journalists have used most of their efforts to identify places we are warmer than. And there was also some sport. Yes, in addition to Wales spanking England, and Jonny Brownlee winning the Super League triathlon in Singapore, we had a few of our own club out and about. As [...]
Well, it’s raining again after a balmy weekend that definitely felt more springlike than midwinter - a bonus for all those out racing. We had a fairly large Ful-on-Tri contingent out over the weekend. Fortunately, none of Saturday’s cycling mishaps seemed to have affected race entrants. In total there were 5 races going on. Most [...]
As Storm Erik blew headlong into the UK, it appears that Ful-on-Tri was handing out its own battering at this Saturday’s Cross Country races - both in terms of impressive results and in the sheer number of runners we managed to field. That wasn’t all either. In the Southern Hemisphere we also had a (rather [...]
This morning’s walk through the rain was about as far removed from sunny, sandy Dubai as you could imagine - and Strava suggests that many of you reacted to the weekend’s weather by staying indoors and switching on the Turbo… or, more likely, the rugby. However, we did in fact have two races, and 6 [...]
Just when you thought news couldn’t get even more fresh - here’s a Race Report published before the weekend. Now pick yourself up off the floor, grab a cuppa and calm down. As we place bets on London shutting down in the grip of the mildly wintery weather, two of our club’s speedy female athletes [...]
Congratulations to everyone in the club who raced an Ironman 70.3 or long distance triathlon in 2018. We stood on the triclub podium at 13 events. A great testament to the power of team Ful-on Tri! If you're racing an Ironman event in 2019, add the club to your account to help us retain our [...]
Written by Jon Moseling Welcome to my inaugural race report - following yesterday’s tightly contested committee elections. I’m slightly disappointed there hasn’t been some sort of Dr Who-esque regeneration… but for those that weren’t at our AGM, I am now the new Heather… a little bit like Peter Capaldi is to Jodie Whitaker. I don’t [...]
There has been a minor (ahem) hiatus in the race reports as the fixtures secretary was coming to terms with being in the workforce again, so strap yourself in as this is a long one (especially considering the time of year...our club has clearly forgotten what “off season” means). Let’s cast our eyes back to [...]
Although it’s been a while, I haven’t forgotten the brilliant racing that has happened over the past couple of weeks. For starters, there was the second round of Surrey League Cross Country. On the Women’s side, a strong team of 15 showed up to race on a stunning Autumn morning in Nonsuch Park. Well done [...]
And suddenly it’s November, the mince pies have hit the stores, coffee cups have turned wintry themed, and Ful-on Tri Christmas Party tickets are on sale (get yours now, especially if you think you’ve won an award, as you’ll get a cool cup to drink out of. Just ask Ruth or Nick how well that [...]
That summer I was talking about last week has very clearly disappeared: it’s 100% bobble hat season (Ehem...). Racing, nevertheless, continues for the FoT gang across all sorts of disciplines. First up was Sarah Lewis at the ETU Middle Distance Champs in not-so-sunny Ibiza. Despite crazy wet and wild conditions, Sarah battled through to claim [...]
It seems that despite being October, the summer hasn’t really gone away, providing an absolutely stunning weekend for triathletes. Perfect conditions for out Legs of Steel event, which took place on Sunday out in the Surrey Hills. Firstly a huge congratulations to Marija Lasauskaite for pulling off an excellent event, and thanks to all the [...]
It was yet another thrilling week of racing for Ful-on Tri. First up, on Wednesday, Xavier Faux took on the Civil Service National Championship Cross Country at Hampstead Heath, and managed to “destroy” himself along the way. Well done Xav! On Saturday, in balmy London, the first club Cross Country of the season took place, [...]
It was yet another busy weekend of racing, with a few late season triathlons, some adventure multi-sport swim-runs, and a lot of just plain runs! First up on Saturday was Shaun at Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote. Having had a pretty tough race at Weymouth in September, Shaun was out to test himself in less grim environs. [...]
The membership year came to a close with a handful of September-end racing, and clearly the off-season is looming large. Congratulations to Richard Huntrods for completing the Hurly Burly swim, a 10k swim in Snowdonia. This is Richard’s second 10k swim in two weeks, the first of which was relocated to Shepperton due to other [...]
When you sign up for a race in late September in England, sometimes you get a beautiful clear sky with a crisp early-autumn chill. Other times, you get deluge. Unfortunately for many racing this weekend, it was deluge. But first, I forgot to mention last week we had Paolo Santamaria and Chris Brown out at [...]
While the main competition of the weekend took place on the dance floor on Saturday night between social secretary Jackie “Twerk-off” Curley, Nick “It’s my birthday I can dance if I want to” DB, Jose “Can I take my top off yet?” Lopez, and Heather “I walked a half marathon on this stress fracture, watch [...]
It was such an incredible weekend of sporting achievements that it’s taken me until now to collect myself enough to write it up...or something like that…anyway, the results from last weekend were, as ever, inspiring. Obviously, the highlight of the weekend was the mixed relays at Eton Dorney on Saturday morning. 30 members of the [...]
Welcome to September! The air is growing crisper, the thought of cross country is entering our heads (or should be…), and our rides are turning into cake trips: you know it’s nearly the off-season. But this is Ful-on Tri, and of course there are many racing right up to the end, including a number of [...]
For some people, the August bank holiday is a chance to unwind and soak up the last rays of summer with friends, barbecues and beers. For Ful-on Tri, the August bank holiday is more about seeing how much swimming, biking and running one can fit into 72 hours. The answer seems to be a lot. [...]
A big weekend of racing this weekend. Starting us off at the long end of the game were Jonny Williams, Julian Beazley and Phil Johnson out at Ironman Copenhagen. Jonny had an outstanding race, finishing in 9:31. While this is impressive for anyone, it’s particularly impressive for someone who had knee surgery in January, tore [...]
It was another exciting weekend of racing, with FoTers toeing the line at some high profile races and bringing home impressive results. This weekend brought the ETU Sprint Championships in Glasgow. Well done to Amy Ellerker, Nathan Sweeney, and Kerstin Mogull who all raced. Particular shout out to Kerstin who took the silver [...]
Due to my delinquency and last minuteness (note to self, packing a bike and clothes for a week and a half at 10pm when you have a 9 am flight is not necessarily the way forward, but as one friend says, if you pack early, you pack twice. Also, the pedals came off easily - [...]
Another sunny week in England, and I’m beginning to wonder if England hasn’t drifted out of Europe into the tropics. Fortunately for us, this makes for great triathlon weather, and Ful-on Tri-ers are taking advantage. First up this week were Haukur Hemisson, James Ellis, Sian Morgan and Tom Scott at the Standard Chartered 5k in [...]
While the world of professional sport was disappointing if you were an England/Federer/Nadal/Serena fan this week (I’m at least a Federer/Nadal/Serena fan, and for the sake of future visa applications I guess I should claim to be an England fan too), Ful-on Tri’s performances certainly lifted my spirits. First up this week was Nicola Busca, [...]
by Julia Rowe-May There was a moment during the past 18 months when I read an IM Austria race report in 220 magazine and thought this was the event I wanted to do as my next Ironman after Copenhagen. Then, in October, as the club celebrated our glorious successes at Kona 2016, I found [...]
Thank you Xav for taking over the report last week - I appreciated the break (and the chance to party post-IM - did y’all hear the after party was on a boat? It was. We rubbed shoulders with the celebs (see photo). And my liver has just about recovered, I think.) Lucinda, Heather, Jackie, [...]
Written by: Xavier Faux Oh it’s good to be back. Here, for this week only, whilst your usual performance commentator is enjoying a few beers in Austria. The busiest event of the weekend was obviously IM Austria. An incredible performance by all of you. I am so happy all of your hard work has paid [...]
For starters, like many of you (I hope!), I spent all day Friday glued to my phone, refreshing my instagram for Walt’s updates on how Euan Lees, Nick Berry and Shane McCauley were doing in their Channel Swim Relay. The guys did a truly incredible job, crossing the channel in 10 hours and 30 minutes [...]
This week brought one of the highlights of the racing calendar, the Parkland Relays in Richmond Park on Wednesday evening. We came away with two podiums, taking 3rd place in the Men’s and Women’s competitions. Congratulations to James Ellis, Geoff Maher, Shuan Wood and Euan Lees on the men’s side, and to Ruth Purbrook, Anna [...]
Another wonderful weekend for some racing, and our club continues to post incredible results! But firstly, going back to last weekend I forgot to mention that Jonny Williams completed Ironman 70.3 Durban, his first race after a knee surgery earlier this year, and managed not only to secure himself a slot for the World Champs [...]
At a race briefing this weekend, the organiser wrapped up his spiel with the inspiring words, “Don’t be sh...abby.” I think it suffices to say that Ful-on Tri never races shabbily, and this week’s results are yet more proof of that. On Saturday, Mark Nielsen, Shaun Wood and Emilie Quinn all raced at the Blenheim [...]
Last week saw some incredible sporting performances. Chris Froome took the Giro with an incredible 80km solo effort, Fulham Football Club returned to the premier league, England were comprehensively outplayed at Lord's to be beaten in the first Test (the BBC’s words, not mine), and Ful-on Tri continued to show dominance in not one, not [...]
Another stellar weekend of weather, another stellar weekend of racing. What an amazing club we have. For starters, Saturday morning saw yet another round of the London League at the Tooting Lido Aquathlon. Ful-on Tri had a big team turnout for the 810 meter swim and 7km run. Haukur Heimisson, euan Lees, Rob Argles, Tom [...]
Written by Heather Mayer The season is now very much in full swing with a week full of training camps, the first English open water swims of the year, runs, bike races and triathlons last week. Hope everyone had a wonderful week away in sunny Mallorca, although I’m glad I can go back to scouring [...]
Written by Heather Mayer Despite a hefty chunk of the club flying off to Mallorca in search of pothole-less roads, considerate drivers and beautiful seas, it was an eventful first weekend of the month back home, bringing sunshine and heat to London, and with that some triathlon competition! Kicking it off last week, I did [...]
While I was off training for the fourth discipline by doing Peroni reps over the weekend (I think I’d be better off in a sprint than an ironman at my current liver fitness level), Ful-on Tri members had a fantastic week of racing. Starting off with epic bike journeys, Annalisa Sarasini, Dave Bulmer and Pieter [...]
By Heather Mayer In typical English fashion, the fact that the sun was shining all week last week was met with over-enthusiastic early morning trips to Richmond Park, people baring all their skin and competing for Best Lobster, and finally complaints that it was just too hot really. The sudden change from deep winter to [...]
Written by Heather Mayer Apparently the sun was out this weekend, although unfortunately I missed it by traveling across the pond to Boston where I got to watch some people throw tea over the side of a boat and to go to a marathon expo without having to run a marathon. Fortunately, the good weather [...]
Written by Heather Mayer Wow, what a weekend of racing! Maybe we were inspired by the Commonwealth Games, maybe it was the Hell of the North that got us going, or maybe we just got a bit of spring fever after seeing the sun for the first time in weeks on Thursday and Friday, but [...]
Written by Heather Mayer Hope you all had a lovely long weekend, full of lots of chocolate, if somewhat lacking in sunshine. The weather this weekend yet again threw a spanner into the works for any of us, scuppering the annual Good Friday Brighton ride, as well as an early season triathlon on Sunday. Nevertheless, [...]
Following last weekend’s white out, Ful-on Tri was back out in force this weekend embracing the less abysmal weather. Ursula Hankinson stormed through the Cranleigh 21 with impressive speed as part of her London Marathon prep. Unfortunately there are no photos of this achievement, as head supporter Xavier Faux Pas missed the finish while trying [...]
Written by Heather Mayer Despite the beautiful, sunny, Spring-like days we had last week, this weekend saw winter rear its head once more, blanketing the land in a layer of fluffy white stuff. Unfortunately, this meant that a fair few races were cancelled or postponed, disappointing many of us who were looking forward to some [...]
Written by Heather Mayer As I sit here recovering from a pastel de nata filled weekend (it’s an excellent pre-race food!), looking out at the grey sky signalling the very best of English weather, I’m amazed that we’ve made it to March. It’s that time of year when the light is hanging in the sky [...]
By Heather Mayer Welcome back to all our Lanzarote friends. I will admit to having been rather jealous as I looked on my Strava/Instagram/Facebook feeds last week to find photos of the sun and see evidence of long rides that didn’t involve wearing 500 layers. I hope you’ve all had a great week, and I [...]
Written by: Heather Mayer As winter has returned in earnest, sending Spring scurrying back into its hole along with Punxsutawney Phil, this weekend saw a few of our club mates don their running shoes for some impressive racing. On Saturday, James Ellis ventured up to north London to race at the English Cross Country National [...]
Written by Heather Mayer It seems that we are turning into the Ful-On Running Club, as this weekend saw a number of our members lace up their running shoes yet again without bothering to swim first or bike after. On Saturday, the first round of the London League Parkrun Mob Match took place. The Ful-on [...]
