• Team Parkrun day

    Posted by Emily McClelland on 21 August 2018

    Team parkrun dropped in this weekend and LFR were in huge numbers to assist. This is where a national lottery funded athlete visits parkrun to give something back to the community, encourages, answers questions and tail runs. We were luck enough to have Zoe Shipperley, a silver medalist for England

    Tuesday was the last of our trail summer runs, returning to our favourite spot in Woburn.  Great runs, great fun, big cows.  Mistress Janice took on the Fartlek Fun Whistle on Wednesday treating the hard working sprinters to a fancy new route.  Captain Dan was at the track with the

    …the return of cake night in the clubhouse!  For those of you who do not know, the first Tuesday of every month is our 5caKe Night.  We run 5K.  We return to the clubhouse.  We eat cake.  It’s great!  We also have a raffle where prizes have included wine, chocolates, a

          We were back in town for our Tuesday club run this week, having a go at our out and back route to Wing.  Paul was in charge of getting the Fartlek gang lost on Wednesday.  Thursday saw the return of Capture the Flag, with Anthony overseeing the cheating

    You may think I’m a little mad but since Vicky bought us a running buggy for Christmas, to enable us to go out running with Edison, I’ve been taking on new challenges including Rushmere Parkrun. Today was supposed to be a gentle stretch before Bearbrook 10k but with Arriana away

    The course! The course takes in the beauty and wonder of Tiddenfoot Waterside Park and the Canal.  It’s peaceful and a wonderful place to run. The support! All the marshals and volunteers are members of LFR and their families.  They will cheer you, clap you, high five you, shout encouragement

    The week began slightly differently on Monday evening with some members of the LFR Cycling Division heading over to Silverstone to ride laps on their bikes!  Everyone had a great time.  A great place to ride round on the smoothest surface and no cars trying to run you over.  It was

    We had another summer trail run on Tuesday, this time at Mentmore.   There was no rain this year, but we had the usual inclusion of cows – both exciting and terrifying.  The pub was shut unfortunately, but an LFR catchup and drinks were had on the green. Vicky had the

    A gaggle of LFR’s hit Bedford by storm on Friday night just before the first rain storm of summer! It was the county 10k championship. Great fun was had by all, with a handful of hugely awesome pb’s, Chris, Will, Matt and myself. It was great to see that LBAC

    Tuesday’s club run this week was the Out and Back route to the Star. James was super excited this week making it to The Star this time! Janice was the Fartlek Fun Giver on Wednesday with another brutal route for those not interested in the football (it didn’t come home).
