Matthew Crane had an excellent run in the Manchester Marathon finishing in a pb time of 3.37.18. Matt was only transferred into the race after his wife sustained an injury so to run this time on very little training was a great achievement.
Fakenham 5k 2018
The Fakenham 5k turned out to be a pretty hard race with 5 loops and numerous inclines and sharp bends. The front runners had to overtake the back runners on each loop, as did the lead cyclist, which proved rather difficult. It certainly wasn’t a fast course but our 6 members ran a great race with the following results. Sam…
Wymondham 20 Miles March 2018
Colin Robilliard ran a diamond standard time of 2.26.11, achieved the 60+ mens’s age club record and was first 60+ in the race. Who could ask for more. Matthew Crane, on not as much training as he would have liked, but still looking fresh at 18 miles, ran a silver standard pb time of 2.42.32 and gained the 40+ age…
Shouldham Warren 6.5k March 2018
On what was the coldest day of the year 7 hardy members still turned up to run the Shouldham Warren 6.5k. This was the last race in the series and with the overall prizes being awarded we were hoping for some success and we were not disappointed. Sam Coyne, in a very close finish and on his first running of…
Inter-County Cross Country Championships March 2018
Sam Coyne was called up at the last minute to represent Norfolk in the inter-counties champs at Loughborough. He made sure his selection was well deserved as he finished 3rd Norfolk scorer from a team of nine. Sam ran the 12k course in 51.12 and was 182nd overall. As the photo shows the conditions were very hard with mud from…
Cambridge Half Marathon 2018
The severe weather conditions obvioulsy hadn’t hit Cambridge as badly as Norfolk as the roads were relatively snow free. We were dreading the freezing temperatures but in the end the conditions were more or less perfect which made for excellent times for the two BVH members running. Sam Coyne certainly made use of the hard winter training with an outstanding…
National Cross Country Championships February 2018
Ryan Davidson & Faith Viney tackled the infamous Partliament Hills National Cross Country and with excellent results. Ryan finished the 12k course in 48.23. He was 436th out of a finishing field of 2328. Faith ran the 8k senior ladies distance in 35.07 and finished 172nd out of 1113.
Valentine 10k 2018
We had 19 BVH’ers running the sunny, although rather chilly, Valentine 10k. Sam Coyne had an excellent run and was 2nd overall, knocking 30 seconds off his pb, finishing in 34.04. Ryan Davidson in his first road race for the club took a minute off his previous recorded time to run 35.20. Simon Partridge running under par with a head cold…
Freethorpe 10 Miles January 2018
The Freethorpe 10 miles also turned out to be a challenge with very high winds making the running far from easy. Scott Walford was 8th overall and 1st M45 in 58.09 which wasn’t far off his pb time and considering he had fallen down the stairs the night before and bruised his coccyx was an excellent result. Craig Bowen-Jones on his first…
Southern Counties X/C Brighton Jan 2018
Our only entrant in the Southern Cross Country Champs at Brighton on Saturday was Sam Coyne and he certainly put the disappointment of the Norfolk County Champs behind him by going off hard which resulted in an excellent finish position of 149th and first Norfolk athlete home. His time over the very wet and muddy 15k course was 59.56. This was 201…
