SPARTANS STAY UP

Mid Week Made It

17 women and 22 men made sure Fairlands Valley Spartans kept their place in division two of the Mid Week Road Race League. It was a bit tight in the fourth and last counting race but FVS stay in the middle division.

Based in Chingford the race was a tough mixture of road and woodland path with a hill in the middle, in Epping Forest, which had to be climbed in both directions.

New member SAMUEL PAUL excelled again leading in the Spartans in seventh place overall with a time of 36 minutes 19 seconds. That’s a new personal best (PB) by 15 seconds.

GAIL MACKIE was fastest for the women’s team with 45:14. LEANNE WILSON improved again, taking 2 minutes 1 second off her personal best with 51:48. OLI LACIGOVA ran her fastest 10K this year, 48:00 and SUZY HAWKINS came in with 48 minutes exactly.

CHARLIE ARNOLD and BRIAN WHITE were second and third in their category with 52:02 and 53:13, and SHARON CROWLEY third in hers with 58:52.

NICK ANDREWS and MIKE JEFFS also beat 40 minutes. Nick with 38:25 and Mike with 39:21. ALICE WELCH 52:35 and LUCY PAUL 58:26 also beat the hour while CLAIRE EMMERSON completed the women’s “A” team with her 1:01:46.

For various reasons the Spartans were missing some of their faster runners. At Chingford the FVS men’s team were fifth out of seven and the women sixth. Overall on the night FVS were sixth. However after the four races the Spartans were fifth, equal on points with Watford, avoided the bottom two places and stay in Division Two next year.

Barnet and Hitchin will be relegated.

Up next. The mob match. Runners from all three divisions get together for a massed start race in Welwyn Garden City at 7.30p.m. on Thursday 9^th July. Followed by the awards for the series.

Ware Was Bronya?

Spartan BRONYA BROWN ran the Ware 10K in 54 minutes 35 seconds. A good run on a testing course for 104^th out of 334.

Parkrun Highlights – Win For Samuel; Green Cape For Jim

There were an enormous number of Fairlands Valley Spartans at Stevenage parkrun on Saturday and JIM BROWN was delighted to be a “caped crusader” for an hour as he ran his 250^th milestone. Caped in green, the theme for 250. It’s taken more than ten years which included the 16 months gap for Covid. Jim has run 240 of his 250 parkruns at Stevenage so reckons he knows the way. The running part of his celebration took 34:06.

Spartan SAMUEL PAUL ran an amazing parkrun personal best (PPB) beating 17 minutes with 16:56. DAVID BENNETT-HALLIDAY ran a new PPB of 19:53. JO COOKSLEY was the fastest female from Fairlands with 24:06. She was eighth out of the 215 women finishing. NATALIE WHITE was second in 25:30 and FIONA CLARKE third with 27:36.

More than fifty Spartans were running at Stevenage. They included AIMEE BARRETT who finished her first parkrun in 41:12. Mini-milestones includes 150 for PETER SACH (27:20); 20 for SAM GENTRY (30:06); 70 for LLOYD DIAS (35:31) and 10 for EMMA WELCH (52:35).

From Black Rocks to Zuiderpark 70 Spartans enjoyed parkruns on Saturday.

Spartans elsewhere included MARTYN DOWLING who was at the Wimpole Estate with 25:52. It was his first park run for over six years. First time tackling it too. It was quite hot and the infamous Wimpole hill was a challenge but ran it in a steady 25 mins 52 sec. 75th out of 345, 10th in my age category.

MALCOLM MacGREGOR was on the High Peak Trail. He ran the Black Rocks parkrun in 33:05, 181 out of 254. All on an old railway line. Meanwhile NIKKI NATION found a “Z.” She ran the Zuider Park parkrun, The Hague in 34:33

SATURDAY STRIPES

Ware Tens

Spartans Alison and Paul Shelley ran the “Ware Running Festival” 10 mile race on Sunday. They said it’s always a very well marshalled and well organised race.

Alison finished in 1:34:18 and Paul was pleased to finish 14^th overall in 1:07:39.

They both found it quite a tough course as always with uneven and stony terrain in parts and undulating. At least the pot holes didn’t have water in them this year though parts of the tow path quite difficult to run on as the surface is very uneven. They were grateful to complete before the massive thunderstorm and downpour.

It was Nick Gill’s first Ware 10 (mile) on Sunday. He finished in 1:11:52 for 31st place. Nick used the race as part of a 15-mile/24kilometre long run, and did a progression run -starting steady and getting faster every mile to the finish! It was a lovely route with lots of support from fellow runners and marshals – and the sun shined for us!

ROBERT WRIGHT finished in 1:17:36 and MATT TUTTON in 1:32:58. In addition CALLIE CHAPMAN ran the Ware 10K in 1:09:57.

Eastern Masters!

Fairlands Valley Spartans women’s team won the Eastern Masters Athletic Outdoor Track & Field fixture at Corby on Wednesday evening. Their winning margin was a huge 48 points. Between them MONICA BROWN, SHARON CROWLEY, KAREN DODSWORTH, YUKO GORDON, TESSA STEPHENSON and JOYLYN SAUNDERS-MULLINS scored 93 points compared with 45 for second placed Milton Keynes AC. After three matches FVS lead the Central West Division with 204 points ahead of Bedford and County on 156 and Milton Keynes with 136.

The events included 100 metres, 400 metres, one mile, 2 kilometre walk, hammer, shot, long jump, high jump and relays with age groups from 35 plus to 70 plus. EMAC organise events for athletes aged 35 plus.

Chiltern Ridge Half Marathon

The Chiltern Ridge Half Marathon started in Wendover and Spartan SUZY HAWLINS was there. The event is a scenic trail run taking over 500 metres of elevation. Some of the climbs were more of a scramble than a run.

Suzy said she made the mistake of starting too far back and was held up on single track for the first couple of miles.

She finished in 2:03:07 for eighth women and said it was a lovely event and will return next year.

Race for Life

Dozens of Spartans were volunteer marshals for Sunday’s Race for Life in Stevenage.

Parkrun Highlights, Stripes Day Saturday 5^th July.

Saturday’s Stevenage parkrun with 553 taking part. Forty of them were Fairlands Valley Spartans.

It was the quickest parkrun of the year for JIM BROWN who ran his 199^th Stevenage parkrun in 27:25. He was first 70 plus and ROGER BIGGS first 75 plus with 49:24.

CLAIRE EMMERSON ran her 190^th parkrun in 27:55 and RYAN DUNNING his 120^th in 28:02.

A Win For Yuko at the Newport Pagnell Carnival 5K

YUKO GORDON won her age group F70 (and 60 & 65 as well) at Newport Pagnell Carnival 5K, near Milton Keynes in 22:20 on Saturday 6th July. It was a flat fast course over traffic free main road with 500 plus runners. Crowds were surprisingly big along the course.

After Mount Chingford and the Trent Park Woods recently, she felt this was too good to be true. However, a fast course is one thing but she said my legs had a problem adjusting to the speed this time. Still, she was happy with the season’s best.

The Carnival 5K is a uniquely fast and flat 5k road race through the historic market town of Newport Pagnell. On closed roads in front of thousands, it’s run ahead of the annual town Carnival Parade. The race finishes on the carnival meadow in the show arena where there’s a day of entertainment and fun. For the 4th consecutive year, there were two different runs. One to suit all abilities: The ‘Serious’ 5K and the family fun 5K.

Ware 10 + 10 – PB for Paul

GERRY ROSEN took part in the Ware 10 (miles). It was a two lap affair with a nasty uphill first mile. A tough little cookie. Gerry was hoping to beat 2hrs and well and truly did it, his time was 1 hour 52 minutes 10 seconds.

The fastest of the eight Spartans was PAUL SHELLEY 20^th of the 269 finishers with 1:07:25; third in his age group and a new personal best (PB) by eight seconds. ALISON SHELLEY was first female from Fairlands at 190^th with 1:33:06; ANNABELLE WHITE was 198^th with 1:35:09 and FIONA CLARKE 212^th with 37:47.

MATT DUTTON took part in the 10 mile race at the Ware festival of running with a chip time of 1:32:56. His first ever 10 mile race. Matt said he managed to miss the heavy rain showers but large puddles were an obstacle at mile 1 and 6 guaranteeing wet feet!!

CHRIS WATLING was 112^th in 1:21:51 and ROBERT WRIGHT 65^th with 1:15:30.

269 finishers.

JANE WHITROW ran the Ware 10K. She said the event was really well organised with lots of water stations and friendly marshals. Jane finished 239^th in 1:21:17.

For the women SUZY HAWKINS was 16^th in 44 minutes 40 seconds. YUKO GORDON was the fastest 65 plus woman with 53:10.

Altogether 306 runners finished the race. The end of series celebration, the mob match, is at Welwyn Garden City on the 6^th July.

Ware Ten

There were two trophies for Fairlands Valley Spartans at Sunday’s testing Ware 10 mile race. JIM BROWN won the male 70 plus award with 1 hour 34 minutes 32 seconds and JAN FRY won the women 65 plus category with 1:54:04.

ROB WRIGHT was the fastest Spartan with 1:19:52. He was 67^th out of the 260 finishers.

STEVEN DOBNER said it was super weather for a scenic run around Ware and Hertford. A few large lumps and some fast downhill sections on an enjoyable but tricky course. A fantastic local event which deserves to be supported as they always put on a great race.

He said he felt strong and happy to finish in 1:24:07 having spent most of the run alongside DAVID PATTMAN who finished a few seconds later in 1:24:11.

The fastest female from Fairlands was MO WARRILOW with 1:35:53. CHRIS SAUNDERS ran his first ten mile race in 1:36:11 and NICOLA PATTMAN came in with 1:52:59.

In the Ware 10K DZENANA TOPIC was 163^rd in 1:11:45 and JONATHAN JONES 165^th in 1:11:54.

On Friday ROGER BIGGS ran his longest race since September 21, with an event along the River Thames towpath in Walton-on-Thames.

Eight out-and-back laps represented a total race distance equivalent to a half marathon (13.1 miles). Roger completed the course 3:57:29
