YVAA Grand Prix No.6 at Crossgates 30 July 2013

  • by

Several variations of this course have been used for previous Yorkshire Vets and PECO races. This race HQ was Barnbow Social Club, Manston Lane, Leeds and hosted by St Theresas AC.  The Social Club is sited adjacent to the old Vickers tank factory and there were impressive steep ramps nearby used for tank test-driving.

The 5.5 mile race course was undulating fields and woodland, with a fast and long downhill field to start. It was a warm, dry evening, attracting 197 runners. The downside of the fast start was the long drag back to finish. No Bingley ladies competed.

Race winner was again David Watson, M40 , Holmfirth in 28m-20s.Read More »YVAA Grand Prix No.6 at Crossgates 30 July 2013

Success at the Yorkshire Veterans AA Road Relay Championships 2013 – Roberts Park, Saltaire, Sun 1st Sep 2013

  • by

Bingley had a successful day out with 2 ladies and 2 mens teams at the YVAA 2013 Road Relay Championship despite a number of people grounded with injuries. It was breezy and a little cool but a good running temperature and it stayed dry. The wind was only really noticeable while running out along Higher Coach Road – with the rest more sheltered or down wind. Our V70 men Fred, John & Les broke the previous record with Les Haynes taking the fastest leg in 18.07. The V60 men Peter, Bryan and Tony just missed third by 10 seconds. The V45 ladies Aly, Sue and Becky successfully retained Bingley’s title from last year, which was just as well as the shield was still with Mary Green who had been on holiday. Sue got the fastest leg closely followed by Aly which was a great achievement for both as they battle gluten intolerance and sacro-iliac problems respectively.Read More »Success at the Yorkshire Veterans AA Road Relay Championships 2013 – Roberts Park, Saltaire, Sun 1st Sep 2013

BINGLEY HARRIERS & A.C. MIDDLE DISTANCE GROUP REPORT

  • by

John Smithurst and John Capenerhurst have been offering Middle Distance Training sessions since September 2012. The sort of training offered is not just suitable for middle distance track athletes but can benefit cross country, road and fell runners also. The sessions normally take place at Beckfoot School on the grass track and are based on the Jack Daniels VDot formula. Once data on athletes’ performances at any of the following is ascertained: – 1500m, 3k, 5k 10k then a Vdot number is given to athletes who can then train at the appropriate level of intensity designed to improve performance over a 6 weeks   or more period The VDot number is not related to age or gender but is a measure of fitness at a particular moment in time. And that fitness can be improved irrespective of age or gender by following a specified training regime. The more consistent the training the greater the improvement athletes can see in their performances.Read More »BINGLEY HARRIERS & A.C. MIDDLE DISTANCE GROUP REPORT
