Club records 2004: Half year update.

During the first half of 2004 many club records have been broken as members in all age categories have continued to race in at variety of distances. It’s great that club records keep being broken, and members continually get pb’s, as it shows that the hard work that is put into the Tuesday speed sessions and into the club runs is paying off. The current club records are:

We intend to publish the Club records list on the back cover of each edition of Idle Gossip, starting with the August copy, so that all members have access to it.

Summer Away runs:

The Next away run is this Thursday! It’s from the car park opposite the Royalty pub at the top of Otley Chevin.

London Marathon 2005: Sun 17^th April 05.

If you’d like to run the London Marathon in 2005 you will need to enter using the official entry form that is within the official event magazine called Marathon News. This will be available in all good sports shops in August.

If you have applied to run or have run the event in the last five years a copy of Marathon News will be sent to you automatically.

Check out the London Marathon Website for details: www.london-marathon.co.uk

Successful and unsuccessful applicants will receive a reply in early December 04. Anyone who is unsuccessful in their entry will be eligible for the draw for the club entry which normally takes place at the Christmas Do. Idle AC will have at least 2 club entries.

In addition members gain an automatic place under the ‘good for your age’ system. If within the last 18 months you have run between 2.45 and 3.00 (men aged 18-40) or sub 3.15 (men aged 41-59), you qualify automatically, and must fill in a different form. Women aged 18-49 need to have run between 3.15and 3.45 in 2003 or 2004 to qualify automatically.

The club record we missed!!

In June’s edition of Idle Gossip we gave the results of the Bronte 5 mile race which included details of the three club records that were broken: Simon Bellwood (M40), Lisa Flesher (F35) and Kay Gambles (F45).

However we missed one club record, the M45 club record. We therefore congratulate new member Richard lyons who set a new M45 club record in a time of 36.19. Richard is improving each time he runs so he may be challenging for other club records (Steve and Dave beware!!).

It’s great that members are competing with one another for club records and that competition is so strong in a number of age categories, especially in the male category.

We try to spot club records and get them published on the website and within the Gossip but with the increased membership and the high numbers of members racing it’s not always possible. Please therefore let us know if a club record is broken – Davina.

Fell Races: July-End September 04.

If you like the idea of fell running and would like to have a go please speak to Chris.
