Be Inspired
I believe the amazing thing about running is that there is not one single achievement for everyone. It depends on what your personal goal or target is and this can range from anything that includes running your first 5k park run, completing your first half or full marathon, finishing an ultra, fell running for the first time or beating a personal best. The SRC runners’ feats during February have not disappointed. I will start with the amazing accomplishment of our very own Richard Andrews who took part and finished the ARC of Attrition Ultra Marathon. Not only does this take place during the extreme conditions in February on the Cornish coastal path, it is also a 100 mile event with over 4000 metres of ascent and has over a 50% drop out rate. Richard completed this in a staggering time of 31 hours and 47 minutes and this is with no sleep along the way. Also, in February Eddie Alder took part in, and raised over £500 for the Tomorrow project, by finishing the Montane Grizedale Trail Marathon. This a challenging course set in the Lake District and Eddie completed all of this with mild hypothermia and bad knee after falling at 25km. If this has inspired you or if you want to meet some great people and get help and support in achieving your running goals, then join us at SRC www.southwellrunningclub.org. I can certainly testify that this a great place to accomplish your personal goals.
