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!

Team Blizard are excited to release our new treatment pathways! 

You know , we love combining latest evidence, national guidelines and our many years of experience, to give YOU the best care possible. 

You may have seen our recent pathways. Here is our 3rd pathway on Urinary urgency. OR in simple terms...having to go to the toilet urgently, frequently or both. This embarrassing and often uncomfortable condition can be with or without actual bladder leakage. Sometimes out of nowhere the bladder will contract and need a dash to the toilet, or will result in leakage on the way! One example of this is when you arrive home and put the KEY IN THE DOOR. You might find you plan your days around toilets! 

If you feel you have to rush to the toilet, or get sudden urgency, or find you go more often than others do something about it now. If you leak urine when you need to use the toilet, or when you hear running water... it is NOT GOING TO GET BETTER on it’s own. In fact it is likely, if left, it will get worse.

You know , we love combining latest evidence, national guidelines and our many years of experience, to give YOU the best care possible. 

You may have seen our stress incontinence pathway. Here is our 2nd pathway on pelvic organ prolapse OR in simple terms...descent of the bladder, womb or bowel. This can present with lumps, bumps, heaviness and discomfort. It can cause changes to bladder, bowel and sexual function. 

If you feel heaviness during the day, or you are aware of any lumps down below towards the end of the day or with activity... it is NOT GOING TO GET BETTER on it’s own. In fact it is likely, if left, it will get worse.

Team Blizard Race Report

It is almost the end of the year but the team is determined to go out with a bang with a final flurry of results before the end of the year!

Kicking this week’s report of we saw coached athlete Sarah Watson tackle the Leeds Xmas Cracker trail half marathon as she used it as a long run as she prepared for the Tokyo marathon.

Staying with an off road theme fresh from an afternoon in York drinking and dancing the afternoon and night away we saw Portugal attendee Emma Smith enjoy the next round of the PECO cross country league and she put many of the team to shame who were too hungover to even run!

The last few 10k road races of the year took place this weekend where the first we report from was the super fast Telford 10k where Sheffield coached athlete Kev Walker showed an excellent return to form with a fast 10k time.

The ever popular Bolsover 10k also took place on Sunday and the fast slightly down hill start was met with strong head winds in the second half but we saw some excellent performances from coached athletes Mark Trolley who set a new pb, Matt Taylor ran his faster 10k after 3 races on the bounce, Angela Lally running her fastest time by 10mins on that course and Ann Barker who took the V60 1st place.

The final race to report from was the warmer Malaga marathon where long time supporters of the clinic both Clowne Road Runners in Malc Stapleton and Giles Searby both giving fine performances with Giles running a new lifetime personal best and thus earning this week's “Run of the Week”!

Massive well done to everyone who raced and took time to send in their results.
Until next week……..keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again the results keep coming both thick and fast with another week of excellent results from the Team Blizard community.
What is so impressive week in and out is the rich vein of quality regardless of the distance/surface keeps showing up in the results and it really has been a fantastic year of performances.
To kick off the week we jump for the first of our overseas events and we had an excellent run from one of Coach Tune’s longest serving coached athletes in Brenda King who raced in the Lanzarote 10k and put in a fine performance and is a shining example to us all and placed excellently in the V75 age group category.
Changing surfaces to the cross country saw Romany Tune compete in the Leeds Universities relays at West Park on a very muddy course.
There was a couple of notable shorter races this week over 5k and there were two fine performances from regular training partners to many of you in Matt Whitewood and Lee Davies who both ran well in the Shrewsbury 5k road race.
A little nearer home was the next round of the North Derbyshire No Walk In The Park 5k and a brand new personal best from another coached athlete in Mark Trolley while he was supported by recent lactate threshold tested athlete Wayne Church and Portugal attendee Shaun Johnson both who ran very well.
Always held on the first Sunday in December the ever popular Sheffield race in the Percy Pud 10k took place and there really were far too many of you to name everyone so let’s just say a massive well done to everyone and we hope you enjoy your pudding as it was well earnt!
The final race to report from and one that is turning into a “must do race” because of the incredible times the race produces is the Valencia marathon.
Caistor athlete and showing that it isn’t just other members of the family who are speedy was Nigel Fearn who smashed his marathon personal best.
Coached athlete Shane Grace despite taking a tumble just after half way through the race carried on with his shorts all torn and bloody foot to register a fantastic 2.32hrs at the age of 47 and any other week would have won “ROTW” but he was outdone by his club team mate and fellow coached athlete Elle Warren.
Elle first came to the clinic in January 2022 with the aim of trying to just break 3.00hrs in the coming Edinburgh marathon ( which she just did ) and then has worked so hard over the next few years and it was nothing short of delight when she stopped the clock on Sunday in an impressive 2.48hrs and take the title for this week of “Run of the Week”!
As always many thanks to all those who sent in their results and it really helps us to pull this report together and until next week…..keep training!
