The Cancer Research Winter 10K in Central London was one of the few races that wasn’t cancelled this weekend due to icy roads and tow paths.

For marathon runners, the winter represents a difficult period of training and conditioning. Most of us indulged over Christmas, and since New Year’s Day, the weather has got worse.

This weeks report is dominated by the Southern XC championships. The highlights were a silver medal for the Men’s U20 team, the best position since 1975 ! and a 4th place near miss on the medals from the Senior Women, both great achievements especially when set in the historical context.

The New Year’s Eve revelries seemed to have little impact on the obsessive mania of Heathsiders, not for just running, but for competing too. Aside from the 84 of us who took part in Parkruns, eleven more raced the Serpentine New Year 10k and five took part in the Lee Valley New Year Open - 100 in all. Not bad for a Tuesday morning.

After trawling through the billions of results on Power of 10, I could see no Heathsiders taking part in anything that week. Everyone was either still recovering from the Xmas bash or they were busy preparing for the festivities and buying their Xmas gifts on Amazon.

The 3rd Fixture took the Sunday League team to Stevenage. A good turnout was achieved despite the out of town venue, with special kudos to those who participated after attending the Christmas party the night before.
