Team Blizard Race Report
The weather might have been a bit rubbish recently but the performances that the Team Blizard community are nothing short of “red hot”!
With many of the guys taking part in our 1st Blizard Marathon we only have a select few races this weekend but what we lack in numbers was more than made up with quality.
The first race to mention was the Midland Cross Country championships held at Mallory Park in heavy conditions.
A big mention to Bill Taylor who is a great supporter of the clinic with his athletes who come in for testing.
The Newark Men’s team retained their Midland title taking the 1st team prize and there was an excellent 4th position overall in the Ladies race from Trish Jackman….well done Bill great work.
In the very same event Portugal bound Coach Marti showed her fitness is coming along well as she powered through the mud in a very tough course!
A little nearer to home held on the undulating loop from Skidby Mill near Hull was the old established Ferriby 10 mile road race.
This race was first run in 1957 and some past winners of the race have been Brendan Foster and our very own Coach Tune ( albeit on the old course ) and Jenny who was only recently dethroned as course record holder by 1 second!
Once again it was a sell out event and the undulations in the first half were met by a strong head wind in the second half to contend with!
That said we still saw some excellent performances from a man in form Danny James who took 2nd place overall, while a massive new personal bests from coached athletes Tom Whitley, Olly Sizer, Dean Thomas and Tamara Hazlehurst to name just a few of the many of you who ran in this excellent event.
The final race to report from was at the seaside in the Curly’s Athletes Skegness 10k.
Friday night class regular attendee David Bulter showed all that strength work is paying off as he took 2nd place overall in the V70 age group as we prepare for a spring marathon.
However, this weeks “Run of the Week” goes to a lady in form in Anna Thompson who followed up her fine run in the Folkswoth 15 recently with the V60 ladies win and take the title this week!
Massive well done to everyone who raced and sent in their results as it really helps.
We have another massive weekend coming up with the Dewsbury 10k next Sunday but until then…..keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again it is that time to celebrate all the achievements of the Team Blizard community in the races they have done in the last week.
We kick off this week’s race report with a couple of cross country races as Saturday saw the rearranged Yorkshire cross country championships at Lightwater Valley where so many of you raced on the muddy undulating loop so a big well done to you all who raced across the age groups and well done to all those who made it into the Yorkshire team for the inter counties later in the year.
A little nearer home saw the next round of the Inter Club cross country take place at Handsworth on Sunday and training partner to many of the team Tom Shaw took the overall win once again on a muddy course.
Friday night regular on the Blizard Run Club live strength and conditioning class Anna Thompson was victorious and 1st V60 in the hilly Folksworth 15 mile road race as we build towards a spring marathon.
Team Blizard were in full force in the ever popular Brass Monkey half marathon.
Run from the famous York racecourse and using the local super fast village roads surrounding it was a fab day in the office for many of you with some great times being registered.
There really were too many of you running to mention everyone but a few of the eye catching performances were had by:
Portugal bound Spencer Higgins
Long term coached athlete Keri Pearson 2nd V40
Wayne Singleton massive new pb
Laura Mann recent test and massive pb
Sue Crabtree return to racing
Lydia Race massive new pb
Romany Tune massive new pb
Coached athlete Abi Holloway massive new pb to name just a short number of you.
However,each week as you know we like to single out an individual performance which we believe warrants the title “Run of the Week” and this week that goes to long time Team Blizard member and coached athlete Gill Coulson.
Gill has been a runner for many years and in the past represented England Masters in the marathon but has a series of health and injury issues which would have made most people give up the sport.
Gill however has worked closely with both Dave and Jenny and is a valuable member of the training group and we were delighted to see her smash Brass Monkey and just miss out on going under 90mins for the half marathon but more importantly showed she is almost back to the form she had before all her issues and if anyone needs some motivation just look at her resilience.
As mentioned before well done to everyone who raced and sorry if we missed anybody off and thank you for sending in your results as Power of 10 website being offline for a couple of weeks certainly hasn't helped pulling the results together!
Until next week…….keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
This week’s race report has been subject to the effect of storm “Goretti” with several races being called off or rearranged.
A few still did survive and a massive well done to all those who raced over the last 7 days.
We kick off this week's report on Saturday where we have a couple of off road events to report from.
Over in Nottingham saw the next round of the North Midland cross country league match where training partner to many of you Tom Shaw put in another sterling performance in the senior men's event.
The ever popular “Round Sheffield” event also took place on Saturday in slippy under foot conditions and there were simply too many of you running to mention everyone so we are going to say well done to you all!
The big race that took place over the weekend was in the sunnier climates of Spain in the Valencia 10k.
This race is quickly becoming the place to go to run fast times and with 2 european 10k record being broken and a host of national record too being smashed that quality filtered all the way down in the field.
First to mention running a lifetime personal best was former “work experience” boy Cam Reilly who ran a very impressive 29.34mins.
Doncaster 10k winner and long time supporter of the clinic Danny James again put in another quality performance to take his lifetime 10k personal best a little lower.
However, each week we award a “Run of the Week” title and this week it goes to coached athlete in Alice Fearn who stopped the clock in a very impressive 35.00mins and earn herself a brand new personal best and this week’s RotW!
Many thanks to everyone who sent in their results and another big weekend coming up next week so until then…….keep training!

First Team Blizard Race Report of 2026
Firstly a very Happy New Year to everyone and let’s together make 2026 even better than 2025 in terms of our running community results!
Thank you to everyone who took time to send in their individual results and it really does help us pull this report together.
We kick things off on Boxing Day where the super fast East Hull 10k run in the same park where the team have visited for our away day Park run.
Team Blizard has several athletes which are Hull based and well done to all of you who ran as there are too many of you to mention everyone!
A little nearer home the annual Boxing Day Campsall race took place where our very own Coach Tune won many many moons ago took place.
Once again we had a massive turnout of athletes in the great little local race with several of the “Ackworth Massive” running but we are delighted to report coached athlete Shaun Yates showed everyone a fresh pair of heels to retain his winners shield and any other week might have taken “ROTW” but more on that later!
The Jolly Holly Jog 10k was happy hunting ground for a man in form Jacob Clark who look 3rd place overall with an excellent run.
New Year’s Day Cleethorpes 10k took place in very cold windy conditions but once again the race produced some excellent results and with over 30 of you running the “well done” list would read forever so we have selected a couple of the more eye catching performances which include:
Danny James 3rd place overall
Jade Bennett only 4 seconds of her best ever time in her first race in 6 months
Jonathan Barnett new pb and V60 winner
Anna Thompson 1st V60 in a new age group!
Jenny Blizard who is slowly returning to form to just name 5!
Saturday saw the county championships over cross country and the Nottinghamshire event was held at Bulwell Hall where Worksop Harrier and training partner to many of you Tom Shaw had a fine race to secure his place in the county team for the Inter counties later in the winter.
Saturday was a busy day with the first of the "No Walk in the Park" 5k race at Chesterfield where coached athlete Ann Barker showed all the ladies a clean pair of heels as she took the overall ladies win!
The final race to report from was the St Albans 10k which provided coached athlete Seth Kirby with his first race for a very long time.
Sometimes an obscure race is a good one to do as nobody knows you and there is no pressure.
Not only did Seth run well but he came a fine 3rd position overall and smashed a new personal best time of 33.27mins and also took this week’s title of “Run of the Week”.
Massive well done to everyone who raced and looks like 2026 has started with a bang!
Until next week……..keep training!
