Well done to everyone who took part and or helped at our interclub Handicap. With a weather change and date change, you were able to still attend and we still raised £316 for charity.

Charlotte Bates was first home for Eye with a pre-set time and selected Cardiac Risk in the Young.

‘I Was feeling good and planned to go for it. A hard but great race but only went a smashed it. Qualified 1st place 🥇 super happy!!
Bottle of w**e, trophy and I got to chose charity for all the funds to go to. I Chose CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) a charity close to our hearts for the help they gave.
I was Really chuffed, call that a successful evening. 😁👍🏼💚🏃🏻‍♀️’

Thanks everyone, see you next year!! 💚🖤

Gail & Joe enjoyed a Phoenix event a couple of weeks ago- Gail celebrated her very first half marathon distance- well done!

Here’s Gail’s story;

‘I had been training for a half marathon with a date in September, so last Sunday was meant to be another training run. Doing a race with Phoenix running means you can add or reduce the amount the amount of laps you do depending on how you’re feeling on the day. Initially it was meant to be 18k and not having my co- runners in arms Jan and Sarah, the distance felt daunting. I’d has my brekkie of toast and peanut butter and I felt confident I could do the 18. The day was warm and sunny (as the whole
Summer appears to have been), but I had been doing lots in the heat so I felt I was prepared and made sure I had lots of water.

Phoenix run a rock Up and run scenario so we arrived at 9 am. I had my first gel and started feeling excited and a bit apprehensive if the distance. You get your chip to put around your ankle And then set off when you’re ready. The Hardest part in the beginning was keeping slow so to pace myself I listened to Romesh Ranganathan on a podcast as I could distract myself and plod rather than run to a beat. At the 2k point Joe went off ahead to run his race leaving me to run mine. The route was around the boating lake and through Thorpe meadows with 2/3rds being on grass and uneven pathways, with a small hill at the 4k mark. The different terrain and views also helped to keep me occupied. The first 3 laps felt pretty good, I was fuelling and drinking well and still felt I had energy! Always a novelty when I’m running. As I hit the 4th lap, around the 15k mark, I felt I could do another lap and complete the half marathon, so I told the official I was going again, refilled my water and had my 3rd gel and continued running. However once I hit 18k I started questioning my choices. My legs had started to get really tired and I was spending time thinking about them and how tired I was, so I decided I needed the big guns and put Meatloaf on. Whilst it didn’t make me go like a bat out of hell it did allow me to lose Myself in the music. I was now really feeling the distance so at this point I just put my head down and focused on keeping one step after another. As I came to the final corner Joe was sitting waiting for me and at this point I almost joined him on the floor as I missed the kerb! The thought of Nosediving the floor in front of many people helped Keep me on my feet! Passing the finishing line was such a great feeling. I had completed something that this time last year when I started running , I never thought possible, I had run a Half marathon. I then celebrated by collecting my Little Miss medal and having my chocolate milk!’
