Why run
with Knavesmire?
I suddenly found a group who enjoyed the things I did… the sort of people I
wanted to spend time with (Neil Holdsworth)

ROAD '08
Hebridean Islands.
The
24th of May saw the start of a busy racing calendar on the Hebridean Islands
with the Point1 Callanish Marathon & Stornoway Half Marathon on the
Isle-of-Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Although a wee bit breezy
conditions were generally very good considering its rather exposed,
albeit stunning location. I ran the Stornoway Half as the first fixture
in a 5 race series (Heb 3 Challenge) finishing 32nd with a
time of 1:44:07. Second half of the race was particularly tough on track
& trail in the hilly Stornoway Castle grounds. |

Duncan Chambers put in a brilliant
performance over the weekend finishing the Point1 Marathon 24th with
a time 3:55:54. He then went on to run the North Harris Marathon 24 hrs later on
the Isle-of-Harris finishing 14th with a time 3:49:18 giving him a
very creditable 9th overall place in the Two Marathon Challenge.
Can really recommend making the effort to
venture north to compete in these races, the scenery is breathtaking and is
complemented by the extremely warm welcome you receive by the Islanders.

On his return Harold said he "did not run my to my potential but still won

Success in Paris for York Knavesmire!
(from David Darton)
David (Darton), Colin (Lea), Garry (Moss) and Martin (Smith) all ran in the
Paris Marathon on Sunday. Martin and Colin ran exceptionally well after a lot of
hard training (Martin ran 200 miles in the last month). Martin in his second
marathon beat his previous best by 25 minutes to finish in 3 hrs 25 mins 28 secs.
Colin beat his personal best by 9 minutes, completing in 3hrs 31 mins 05
seconds. David, having had 5 weeks off training due to breaking ligaments in his
ankle in January also managed a personal best of 3hrs 42 mins 51 seconds, a
minute faster than at Paris last year. But perhaps the hero was Garry, who
despite very bad archillies injury that has caused problems all year, managed to
stay running for 5 hours 40 minutes and beat the odds by completing (after the
crowds insisted he go on when he felt like stopping at 26k. We were all helped
by better running conditions than last year - 7-8 degrees celsius with only
slight wind, compared to last year's heatwave of 28 degrees. David is now
recovering to run the London Marathon next Sunday - two marathons in a week - it
shows what you can achieve when running with the encouragement and support of a
club like York Knavesmire!
East Hull 20 - 9th March 2008
Cameron Brookes had a storming run at the East Hull 20 race,
finishing in 1:48.03 and in smashing the course record (the previous best was
over 1:50).
In the team race, Knavesmire men finished second. Running conditions were ideal,
although as always on this
exposed route, the wind was noticable throughout most of the 2nd half of the
race.
