Keen to improve all aspects of his running . listens to good advice …mostly. Brought cycling and swimming into his game. Now has a day off a week to let his body recover…somtimes 2 days .

ROTM
Had a tough choice between 4x distance runners who have inspired me in Aug, Phil White, Lee Denton, Jason Rippendale and David Birtwistle, not just speed & distance but nice guys. I’d like nominate Lee Denton as it’s been great to run with you last couple of weeks, enjoy the chats, and has given me the nudge I need to up my game a little bit more – thank you

He continued with the high volume of training, running 307 miles this month, and ran 15 miles at 5.56 pace!!!

My Member of the month is our John Clayton. He has organised some brilliant cycle trips on recent Sundays and has really looked after everyone making it really fun and enjoyable. He’s a great leader. Thanks John!

9. Runner of the Month
Goes to Sid Makinson, he just keeps his head down on his RED, he’s doing really well and is one of a few who have kept their motivation levels up throughout COVID, respect for what he has achieved and he’s a worthy nomination

Member of the Month

John Clayton- JC has started his weekly cycles which is getting other club members and guests out and about on their bikes, he’s organising the trips and last weeks day out to Blackpool I’m sure was a great day for everyone. John also highlighted this week he has been diagnosed with PTSD, a fantastic thing to do to highlight to others it’s ok not to be ok. Well done JC

Not sure if I can vote now I’m on the committee but thought I’d put my thoughts down if I can

Mark Vaughton

10. He’s had some issues in the past with injuries and some other things but during lockdown he’s been working very hard on training. He’s then managed to smash his 10k PB in Blackpool at the Run the Lights. Sub 45! Fantastic achievement!

Gary Blackburn

11. Runner OTM: John Dey for his fantastic progress this year. He performed incredibly in the Blackpool 10k, absolutely smashing his target. Well done to him and also to Alex for pacing him to perfection. I’m very sure there’s lots more to come from John in the near future.

Member OTM: Anthony Furnell. He runs, he cycles and now he swims. What he also does is promote positivity and inclusion. He looks out for others so selflessly (including myself) and is such a star.

Special mention also to John Clayton and Andy McArthur for leading and welcoming all to their group bike rides, which always looks good fun.

Many thanks
