Team Blizard Race Report

We have our latest inspiring race report for you all with success over a variety of distances and surfaces for your enjoyment!
Kicking on the report saw the Hull league Hedon 4mile race take place on Tuesday.There were fine runs over this unusual distance by Hull athletes John Podgornyi, Olly Sizer and Callum Ely who all featured at the sharp end of things!
The super fast Cheshire Spring 5 mile road race was the scene for her last tune up race before London for Sarah Hunter who took a fine 3rd place while deep into taper!
Moving surfaces to trail saw coached athlete Jamie Baker take the overall win in the Swainby 16 as we used it as training for the Windermere marathon in a few weeks time.
Switching surfaces again to the track is was great to see Rotherham Harrier and regular Friday night class attendee Simon Oak make a welcome return to 800m racing after an extended time out with injury.
Portugal attendee Simon Speight made light work of the Chester 100 Ultra and a massive well done from everyone for your achievement.
Our final race to report from is the Manchester marathon where at last count we had over 50 members of the community running!!!It would be impossible to mention every single one of you so a massive well done to everyone who completed the race and we have some individual race reports for you during the week to enjoy.
There were a few stand-out performances we are going to mention and these are in no order:
Paul Farrell 49mins pb ( yes you read that correct )
Martin Robbins coached athlete 37 mins pb
Tarmara Hazlehurst,Stuart Gough coached athletes 11mins pb
Jack Potter, Abi Holloway coached athletes and fantastic debuts Matt Taylor, Shaun Carley massive new pb to name just a few of the eye catching ones.
Each week we also like to highlight what we consider to be our “Run of the Week” and this week this goes to Sheffield athlete James Biggin who not only ran a new lifetime personal best but also collected his 1st ever England Master’s vest and deserves this week’s special call out.
Another big week ahead with the London marathon this Sunday and let’s keep this excellent vein of form going.Thank you to everyone who sent in their results and until next week……keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report

Once again we have an action packed race report from up and down the country for you over a variety of distances but all brimming with quality!
We kick off this week’s report on Friday night with the ever popular Even Splits 5k race over on the cycle track at York.
This event has grown over the years and even though people can go and do a Park run any Saturday morning there still is great demand for this type of race.
Back from her travels with a bang Elle Warren posted a timely new personal best as she heads into the London marathon while coached athlete and Portugal ever present attendee Sue Crabtree from the same club took the V50 age group win.
There was a fine performance from soon to be in Ironman training athlete Colin Storrar as he went way under distance using the 5k as speedwork!
Saturday saw the National 12 stage Road Relay Championships held in Birmingham take place where athletes competed for their club in the undulating Sutton Park.
Well done to everyone who raced and there was an eye-catching run on the first leg from Seth Kirby which stands out for us.
Marathon season is truly underway and Sunday we saw the running of the UK based Boston marathon while down on the south coast the Brighton marathon took place.
Both races endured very strong winds but well done to Jo Bates, Jim Holloway and Malc Stapleton just to name a few who ran very well in tough conditions.
The final race to feature is the Lincoln 10k which continues to grow year on year.
There were so many of the team racing it would be impossible to mention everyone but a few of the highlights came from solid runs in windy conditions from: Callum Ely,Lee Davies,Kev Walker,Shaun Yates,Richard Ward,Jacob Walton,Sarah Lowery,Brenda King and Simon Lord.
However, each week we have the “Run of the Week” award and this week it goes to Coach Bill Taylor from Newark who had both the Men’s and Ladies overall winners in Joe Wilkinson and Charlie Thornton.
Long time supporter of the clinic bringing his athletes in for regular testing and it was a great double on the day for Bill and a massive well done.
Many thanks to all those who sent in their results as it really helps us pull this report together and a big weekend ahead with the Manchester marathon next weekend.
Until next week…….keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
We would like to kick off this race report firstly by saying a massive well done to all of you who have raced over the last couple of weeks.
You may not know but many of the team have been away on our warm weather training camp so it has been missing for a couple of weeks but it is back by popular demand and we have a “belter” for you!
Kicking on this report we go firstly to the ever growing Donfaster 5k held on the cycle track and home to Danum Harriers who host this excellent event which seems to be growing each time it is put on.Fresh from their trip to Portugal we saw excellent runs and new personal best from Becky Friar and Rich Burke who swapped the sun of Portugal for the delights of Donny!Long time supporter of the clinic Chris Inman also was in fine form as he took the V70 age group win to single out a few fantastic performances.
Saturday saw the running of the area 12 stage road relay championships where teams competed to gain entry into the national championships in a couple of weeks time.
There was a fine 4th team position for Newark AC under the excellent guidance of Bill Taylor as his team continues to grow in strength.
Carlisle was the scene for the northern championships where another Portugal attendee and coached athlete in Seth Kirby blasted a fine leg while Shane Grace helped his team secure their place in the national championships in Birmingham.
We had athletes competing over various distances over the weekend and the next two races we feature are over 10k.The first one was the hilly Heaton Park 10k in Manchester where coached athlete Jamie Baker showed he is in fine form heading into marathon training as he took a gun to taper victory!
A little further south saw another coached athlete in Alec Makula equal his 12 year old personal best in the Battersea 10k and well done that man!
Moving up distances to 10 miles many of you ran in the Vale of York 10 mile event and the two stand out performances came from Wayne Singleton who is on fire and Colin Storrar in what was windy conditions.
The very popular Sheffield half marathon took place on Sunday with so many of you running it is impossible to name you all so we are just going to say well done to one and all!
The final race to report from was the super fast Berlin half marathon.Training partner to many of you Peter “Twiggy” Twigg had a fine run and celebrated with a couple of beers after the race which were just reward for his fine run.
Each week we have a title of “Run of the Week” and this week it goes to coached athlete from North Derbyshire Abi Holloway who smashed her personal best and earned this week's special shoutout.
Many thanks to all those who sent in their results and like we said previously, a massive well done to everyone who has raced over the last couple of weeks.
Until next week……..keep training!

For female pelvic health physiotherapists, real-time ultrasound imaging (RTUS) is considered the gold standard for assessing how this muscle actually functions.

Here’s why 👇
🔎 It allows us to see the muscle working in real time�Rather than relying purely on symptoms or manual assessment, ultrasound lets both you and us directly observe the external a**l sphincter contracting and relaxing. This gives us clear, objective information about muscle function.
📊 It improves assessment accuracy�Some patients can feel like they are contracting correctly, but the muscle may actually be under-recruiting, over-recruiting, or not coordinating properly. Ultrasound allows us to confirm exactly what is happening.
🧠 It enhances client understanding�Seeing the muscle work on screen provides powerful visual feedback. Clients can immediately understand what a correct contraction looks like, which can significantly improve rehabilitation outcomes.
🩺 It helps guide personalised treatment�Whether someone is experiencing faecal incontinence, urgency, post-obstetric injury, or difficulty coordinating their pelvic floor, ultrasound helps us tailor treatment based on what we see — not guesswork.
✨ It supports evidence-based pelvic health care�Using imaging alongside clinical assessment ensures we are providing the highest standard of care and targeting the right muscles in the right to help our clients regain confidence, control, and function.

If you’re experiencing bowel control issues or pelvic floor concerns, you’re not alone — and effective assessment is the first step toward recovery.

Here at Blizard Physiotherapy Jodie and Jenny our specialist female pelvic health physiotherapists have totted it up and assess a 1000 vagina’s/external a**l sphincters every year! Be reassured, all vulva’s and bottoms are unique, it is the functioning that really matters to us and you for health and longevity.

Keep coming back here for more information on the equipment and gadgets we use to assess and treat female pelvic health issues.
