After nearly a year, Jamie Carney has become one of our regular runners and has even won the 5K on a couple of occasions.

Hi once again from the side-lines of Brough Park Running Club. The Pic’ of the week from last Saturday’s event (13/05/18) goes to Suzie Noble. Suzie is a regular entrant at the Couch to 5K, and has worked hard over many months to get back to form and secure a PB – following minor foot surgery. Two Saturdays ago she …

After hearing so many times that BPRC starts too early in the morning; this week’s pic’ of the week shows the beauty of a morning run. We know that at 8am on a Saturday morning most people will be thinking “just roll over and go back to bed” and “it’s too cosy here.” Take the easy way out, but you …

Claire joined our little event some two years ago, and may not attain PB’s week-on-week but gives it her all. Having contracted the ‘running bug’ she’s moved on to longer distances, and is not …

Hi, once again from the side-lines of Brough Park Couch to 5K. The pic’ of the week from the 31/03 event goes to the Locket/Grimes contingent; one of the growing numbers of family groups. It’s good to see their related members grow in number from the initial attendance of Gina, way back-in-the-day along with her running pal, to the vast …
