After the excitement of part two of our club championships on Tuesday the weekend was relatively low key as far as competitive outings by Heathsiders are concerned. The Middlesex Young Athlete road relays were the only club fixture taking place, while further afield Dan and Jayne were fell running again and Ruth pulled off a quality tri in Bala.
Read MoreThis first weekend in September was an extremely busy one for many Heathsiders, with the last Southern Athletics League meeting, local aquathlons and duathlons, and marathons in the French Alps to name a few. The big event of the weekend was clearly the final fixture for the SAL 2012, which was held in Hemel Hempstead on Saturday, where we racked up the club's biggest points total of any SAL fixture this summer, and ended up coming 8th overall in the season which means we have been promoted to Division 2 status for 2013.
Read MoreBit of a short-notice report this one: I got conned into writing it late last night, when it emerged that the usual scribes were away taking pictures of wildlife (photo of black bear © Gabi Johnson, 2012). If there are any more budding wildlife photographers at the club, the good news is that there appears to be a lion on the loose in Essex, so there's an opportunity not to be missed. If anyone just wants to fake a photo, Simon Brown informs me you can do a pretty good job with a common house cat and a slice of bread with a hole in the middle.
Read MoreWell, we were all baking away in that hot, hot sun this weekend, but that didn’t stop a fair number of us (32 in all) from squishing our sweaty feet into those trainers and taking to the roads, paths and tracks to race our Saturday and/or Sunday mornings away
Read MoreAs we wave a tear-stained farewell to the Olympic Games, it's time to turn our attention once again to this week's Heathside race results. Actually, there was a bit of a lull in racing this week as everyone was too busy watching the Olympics.
Read MoreIt seems the massive effort needed to simply watch world class athletes perform, and the heady business of getting around to various venues in London at the crack of dawn throughout the past week, has caused a bit of a dip in this weekend's racing activities. However, the usual great results from Parkruns remain undimmed, excellent times at the Battersea Park Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcence 10K were achieved and a transatlantic trophy was regained!
Read MoreA second place finish for Paul Lemmon in the V45 British Masters 3000m steeplechase on Sunday was Heathside’s most high profile performance of the weekend, despite a disappointing time on a personal level, with others contending with an unfamiliar heat in longer races such as the Dartford Half and Harrow 10.
Read MoreWe witnessed a brace of impressive performances by London Heathsiders over the past week – with our runners giving their blood, toil, tears and sweat (well, maybe not too much of their blood) on muddy fields, wind-swept tracks, water-logged roads, and for the mad few, the seas and oceans too.
Read MoreLily Beckford clocked a sub-60 second 400m on Wednesday to move into the top 20 UK rankings for her age group. Knocking 2.65s off her previous PB she ran 59.68s to win her race at the Watford Graded Open. That time places her at number 19 in the U17 400m rankings.
Read MoreStar performer this weekend was Jacob Wilson with a bronze medal-winning long jump in the South of England U20 Champs at Crystal Palace, although with a first place age group finish for Jackie Wastell in the Bournemouth tri, LICC PBs, and more great running by Elspeth the good news doesn’t end there.
