Crookstone Crashout:- Seems to have gone well, a deservedly large field. If you can help with the missing names please contact the webmaster. There have been some problems with email but it’s up and running again now. Also:
Found on the Crookstone Crashout Course! Map and compass in a small plastic bag. The map is a Harveys map made for the 1984 Karrimor. Contact Roy Small if it is yours.
The Stoop – Results – Forever bleak and cold up there, the moors wet and boggy. All part of the fun. A guest visit from Mick Stenton – 15th – and even Mark Buskwood venturing out onto the Bronte moors. A typically excellent value race, £3.00 for free biscuits, warm drinks at the finish, soup and roll in the pub, and an abundance of prizes, and chocolate thrown all around.
On the FRA Championships DVD, Tony Heron was most definitely running well at Black Combe…..
Long Distance Runners:- Jon Morgan “has just been to see a sports scientist at the University of Lincoln who is doing research into ultrarunners which he defines as those who regularly (ie. at least 3 times a year) run distances of greater than a marathon. He is looking for volunteers who are willing to give a couple of hours of their time to be put through a comprehensive series of tests on a treadmill, including VO2 max, LT/LTP (lactate thresholds), fingertip blood measurements etc. The whole process takes a couple of hours, and in addition to helping his research you will end up knowing a lot more about your own physiology/limitations, together with receiving a report with scientifically based recommendations for specific training, related to speed and heart rates. He is interested in runners of all standards, as long as they do the long stuff, and can be contacted by pmurgatroyd@lincoln.ac.uk
