This may come as a surprise to you, it certainly was for me, but apparently there is another running club in Leighton Buzzard. Leighton Fun Runners (who knew). Anyway they seem like a decent bunch and happened to be organising a 10k race this Sunday. Nine runners from LBAC elected to grace them with our presence, and what a glorious morning for a run it was, with blue skies and not a cloud in the sky, not too hot and not much wind. The course itself is was less forgiving as it was fairly hilly throughout with the infamous Shenley Hill at 8k. read more

It must be some sort of a joke played by the organisers! If ever there is a time in your life when getting out of bed in the morning is an issue, it's when you are a university student. Yet first race up at 11am in the UK Inter Counties this year were the U20 men. Billy Mead is at uni in Loughborough and so he didn't have too far to go to get to Birmingham but he still had to be up before 7am on a Saturday in order to make the start in time. Nevertheless, it didn't stop him going out until 1am anyway! read more

March acted as a real filter in this year's Stag Trophy competition as we finally had a male winner! Suddenly there are only eight athletes who can get into the top three and only three who can win it! This does not give you an excuse not to run, by contrast it really is our duty to get in the way (metaphorically!) and make it as fair a race as possible in April.

March's race saw Charlie Mead take victory with an 18 second PB as he gets ever closer to his brother's family record. This win means that he is one of the three potential winners, although he will have to win the final race and hope Amy is outside the top six just to tie with her at the top. read more
