Rather than choose a photo of who looks the soggiest, this week’s ‘Pic of the Week’ is a photo of the start with a lot of the hardy members of BPRC turning out in the ‘monsoon’ like downpour that was last Saturday. Although some were running later at the Ipstones 5 events; thirty-six runners decided that maintaining their fitness was …

Hi, once again from the side-lines of Brough Park Couch to 5K. The photo that has been chosen from 02/09 event is of two 5K entrants; v55 Elaine Hargreaves and Claire Deighton. It’s a two-fold appreciation photo; firstly depicting Elaine’s efforts to build up over many weeks to gain the willpower to move up to the longest distance, and Claire’s …

This weeks ‘Pic of the Week’ goes to the Tapley family. After completing last week’s 2.2K, father and daughter: Alistair (v45) and Eleanor (7), must have decided ‘why not bring the rest of the family’. So, this week Alistair returned, chaperoning two year old Lottie around the 800m and mother, Nicky (v35), following Eleanor in the 2.2K. We commend their …

Hi, from the side-lines of Brough Park Couch to 5K. The ‘pic of the week’ is of Dawn Brown; the first entrant to go through the mill of distances from 1.5 to 5K. It may have taken twelve months or so but, who’s counting? The fact that she turns up on a regular basis is a credit many could learn …

The ‘Pic of the Week’ this week is the start line of the Wednesday training event. It just shows how far the club has come. While Brian and I were on our hols, (Sunny Spain and Somerset) Sam and Paul took over, both directing and timing the Wednesday evening event. Furthermore, with some chaperoning from Karl, some newbies ran around …

The picture of the week, chosen from the previous Saturday’s event, is of six-year-old Joshua Eames. Despite the poor weather, on several occasions, he has turned out to take part in the Couch to 5K, or 2.2/2.5K, on more than 80 occasions, and completing most of them ‘accurately’, in his own time and agenda. He epitomizes the endeavors of many, …

This week’s ‘Pic of the Week’ is a picture of Sharn Hully (393) being shown the course by regular runner, Jane Searles (325), for the first time. It has long been said that the best way to train is with a friend who is of a similar ability to you. If you feel that you would like to start running …

This week’s ‘Pic of the Week’ is of Bryan Vigrass and is a complete contrast to last week’s post. Bryan is our oldest entrant and is in the v80+ category; like many people he didn’t start running until his later years; in fact he started when he was fifty and has attained many trophies and accolades along the way. We …
