I am really grateful for the different opportunities ERR have given us to challenge ourselves during the ups and downs of the past 12 months.  

Mark’s run – race report.  December 20^th 2020 by Rachel Green

I have to confess that I was nervous about this run.  I’ve been running a lot lately – about four times a week but mainly on the flat and not for much more than 3-6 miles in length. 

EA XC Challenge (November 2020)

Growing up in Leeds in the 70s and 80s, school cross country races were a winter Wednesday afternoon rite of passage.

Having just acquired a TomTom (thanks Becky) and having worked out how to operate it, I have become a little bit more competitive with myself, trying to achieve a bit more each time, not sure how much longer that will last.

Spot Prize for improving my time by an enormous 6 minutes in race 5

Thank you, Eynsham Road Runners, for this award, thank you for creating opportunities to run and race during Lock Down, and thank you for providing training and exercises which have helped me to develop.

I have recovered from my surprise at winning something and thought I had better fulfil my side of the bargain and write a report to justify my bottle of wine. I have thought long and hard (a little) about what I would say.

ERR Virtual Motavation – Combe 2                                                                   Thursday 30^th July 2020

I seem to have dodged the responsibility of a race report over the years, however it has finally caught up with me but at least I get a nice bottle of wine to drink!

During lockdown, I have not been running quickly and that has suited me fine!  I have been running because I am thankful to be able to get out there and it is my way of keeping mentally and physically well.
