January saw GRC represented by 37 members... Continue Reading →

Traditionally a quieter month, December bookends the year as we perhaps wind down and switch focus to celebrating with loved ones. The grind never stops though as some tick along quite nicely or target the early weeks to peak, so let’s set to it esteemed members of the Green and Black Army! December saw GRC...

Runner Up I distinctly remember having a conversation with this athlete in early March at the Holme Pierrepont Notts 10-mile race in which she stated then the ‘dream’ would be a sub-2-hour half…The Heckington 10 miler prehaps starting to give thoughts that the ‘dream’ could be achieved. Well, dear Friends - Dreams do come true…... Continue Reading →

Batten down the hatches as we summarise superb September… Belvoir Castle Half You fine Green & Black kin of Grantham Running Club kick us off at Belvoir Castle (foreshadowing a glut of activity here) for the inaugural running of the half marathon and 10K. The race route was changed at the last minute to remain... Continue Reading →

Runner Up First on the pedestal is an enigma within our club – on form he is known for his speed and never far away from the top of the tree. Conversely, he also dances on the edge of a volcano and is never far away from the doctors waiting room…August he was on fireyaaaaah!... Continue Reading →

Showing absolutely no sign of slowing down on her meteoric rise and vast improvement was the winner of June’s Member of The Month. A relative late comer to the sport, but of no great surprise that she’d take to running eventually given the family atmosphere that must be deeply influential to her. Back to Rutland... Continue Reading →

In what seems to be a lifetime since we last praised and trumpeted the exploits of you crazy cats in green and black, let’s sit down together and meander through what was Marvellous May! The month in review Peter Jennings and second claim member Kirsty Dickens took to Milton Keynes on Bank Holiday Monday to... Continue Reading →

Strap in, readers, this is a long one, even by Mr Jepson's usual standards.Part ONEFriday 12th May – 12:46pm: I’ll be honest, Constant Reader, I’ve no bloody idea where to start... so I guess I’ll start there! Edit: Out of necessity I must slightly tweak the structure of this month’s MoTM. I don’t intend to... Continue Reading →

Blimey o'Reilly – it’s that time once again, Ladies and Gents! Assume the position… Let’s get ready to marvel at the mega miles mashed in the marvellous month of March! Mmmm! Round Up Starting with the first weekend, four members of GRC made an early morning journey to a chilly Scunthorpe to take part in... Continue Reading →

Same message as last month re: tardiness, life has a funny way of galloping away from you, right? So, same apologies. February saw Grantham Running Club celebrate the wonderful exploits of all the club throughout 2022. A glitzy evening with a fabulous special guest; Dai Greene. February is also the month of love. Be it... Continue Reading →

January can be a dark, dank and miserable month if you let it, but we won’t let it will we? Runners across the country knuckle down for the post Festive Season, marathon blocks begin in earnest and the mad ones pull one spikes and trails shoes as the Cross-Country season is in full throttle. So,... Continue Reading →

December was full of festive frivolities and a chance to celebrate with family & friends the success and victories of the year.But running stops for no man. Thus, let’s have one last look at 2022, with December’s Member of The Month. XC Round Up  First up Sunday 4th December saw several members venture north to... Continue Reading →

XC Round Up The beginning of November sees one of the highlights of the XC calendar; The National Relays held at Berry Hill Park in Mansfield. I’ve previously waxed lyrical about the stirring scene that greets runners. Fast, frantic, muddy good fun. The ladies run in teams of three each covering a testing 3km lap.... Continue Reading →

As we hurtle toward the autumnal and wintery months with alarming speed, welcome to October’s Member of the Month! Round Up Part One The opening weekend of the month saw a rich buffet of races up and down this glorious Isle to feast upon. In terms of proximity, the closest was a sunny West Pinchbeck... Continue Reading →

Round Up One of the largest half marathons in the world, the Great North Run is one of the jewels in the sporting calendar. With last minute doubts overcome – Indeed, question marks hung over all events that weekend following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Fourteen members of Grantham Running Club joined some 60,000... Continue Reading →

Salutations once again my dear ol’ things! As the summer wore on, the hectic schedule of athletics reached its zenith at the European Championships. Once again GRC’s own performances mirrored the endeavours of the rising starlight’s in World Athletics. Round Up Starting us off this month, The Dovedale Dipper. A testing trail event for runners... Continue Reading →

As the sporting world set to gorge itself on an unprecedented run (geddit?!) of Athletics starting with the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon then the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham - The Green and Black army were up to the usual running endeavours! Perhaps key to note; was the backdrop of the searing summer heat,... Continue Reading →

Oooof! Well, what can I say? Sorry, sorry and “Sorry" again! Not exactly my usual introduction, Dear CR, but I feel I must again sincerely apologies for the unusually long time it’s taken to get around to write this months (last months) Member of the Month – the one for June! Remember June? Yet another... Continue Reading →

Greetings! Can I once again effuse my sincerest apologies from the very top of the piece. For various reasons, I won’t bore you with, time has not been my own this month! Boring introductions aside, lets crack on with May’s Member of the Month. It started with a bang! A popular and longstanding race fixture... Continue Reading →

As is usually the case, the beginning of April signals the beginning of the major Marathon season for club runners up and down the country. It remains to be seen if the old adage of “Winter miles, Spring smiles” rings true, but it does bring about a unique and exciting time for us running purists.... Continue Reading →

As the dust settles on the 3rd month and indeed first quarter of the year, it’s that time once again to look back over the performances that caught the eye and crown March’s member of the Month. March saw the official start of the GRC Grand Prix Series - my thanks once again to Vicki... Continue Reading →

Welcome to the review and Member of The Month of the  ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ month that is February. A month that started with a prolonged spell of ghastly stormy and windy weather and ended with the winds of change blowing through Europe... In the grand scheme of things, running probably took a backward step. But I’m not... Continue Reading →

3…2..1… HAPPY NEW YEA… wait a second! Can you believe that was over a month ago! Where does the time go?  We are now 6 weeks in to 2022 – or should I say for the marathoners amongst the Green and Black army about 7 weeks until the ‘Spring Mara’ season! One thing I’m not... Continue Reading →

Firstly, before It’s not too late, may I personally wish you a happy, prosperous and healthy New Year, Constant Reader. I’m sure, like me, you can’t quite believe that 2021 is now last weeks hangover and it’s time to refocus, refresh and attack the 12 months of 2022 ahead. Before we do, let us collectively... Continue Reading →

Sink into a comfy chair, Constant Reader. Pour a glass of something (‘Tis the Season after all) and let’s get down to November’s Member of The Month: November – the time of year we runners like to get a little dirty! 😉 We trade road shoes for trails/spikes and “enjoy” stomping around fields, through lashings... Continue Reading →

Well now, dear Constant Reader, may I be the first to colourise a picture of a simply outstanding October for GRC? It certainly jumps out as one of the best months for quite some time. Such was the sheer volume and level of achievement, it’s fair to say deciding a winner has proven to be... Continue Reading →

Hello Constant Reader and a warm welcome to September Member of the Month. September saw the last throes of summer cling on like a toddler clutching a favoured toy to their bosom. It provided the ideal last few weeks of preparation for the fastly approaching October/Autumn marathons – the last long runs, the chance to... Continue Reading →

Races are well and truly up and running again now and August’s race performances proved that we’re very much back in business.  Stuart Baty is one nomination that is having an outstanding season. His 5k run at Chase the Sun races was a 47s PB, his 2nd PB at the distance this season.  Robin Atter... Continue Reading →

As we entered July the nations sporting gaze turned from Europe to the jewel of East Asia: Japan and the postponed Games of the XXXII Olympiad. As a multitude of sporting achievements and drama amazed and astounded in equal measure nearly 6,000 miles away, the runners of Grantham set about their own achievements, albeit slightly... Continue Reading →

Ahhh June - the height of the British summer; Wimbledon starts, Football was supposed to ‘Come Home’ and GRC saw the long overdue start of its popular Grand Prix series after a Covid hiatus.  2021 has been another year of change and disruption, not least the largest of the spring marathons (London and Manchester) both... Continue Reading →

The Darling Buds of May, May Day Bank Holiday/s, the blossoming spring and longer, lighter evenings… Traditionally May is a transitional month, one full of expectation and hope. Indeed in a running sense, it normally marks the end of Marathon season (for a couple of months at least) and attentions divert to the athletics world... Continue Reading →

April… ahhh yes the Month of Marathons - all those winter moths of long, hard training paying off and coming to fruition… or… as it happened; the month of just entering ‘some kind’ of race and feeling the trepidation and triumph of race day once again. With “roadmap” seemingly replacing “road racing” in the runners... Continue Reading →

A plethora of virtual events coloured March with stellar performances across multiple disciplines.  Firstly, when asked to think of historical Athletics moments through the annuals of time, many come to mind – but perhaps elevated to the level of ‘Legend’ is Sir Roger Bannister’s sub 4-minute mile, some 67 years ago! 1609 meters, 1760 yards... Continue Reading →

In a month usually focused on longer runs and hard races to finalise those Spring marathon plans and tactics, February can be a tough month on runners. It’s perhaps refreshing that, in light of continuing Covid-19 Pandemic restrictions, the February ‘Virtual’ event was the exact opposite of those long distances; the 3000m. Traditionally, a ‘track’... Continue Reading →

This January saw the return of the clubs “Member of the Month” award. The year started with a new lockdown, and thus no official races, so the club improvised again with a new race series to keep members motivated during the cold, winter month. Throughout the month there was a weekly challenge of 5k for... Continue Reading →

The New Year kicked off in its customary underwhelming manner in terms of racing with just a smattering of events over cross country and on the road to choose from. The Folksworth 15 is a January stalwart on the racing calendar and, in recent years certainly, can be trusted to produce weather conditions that are... Continue Reading →

December is definitely one of the quieter months of the year for racing – it’s not hard to wonder why given the Christmas and New Year celebrations and the temperamental weather that can wreak havoc with the best laid plans to stage a race. There are though still a fair few races to choose from... Continue Reading →

Before we kick off with the run through of nominations for November, a little book keeping is in order to note, for historical reasons, the performances of Sarah Chynoweth and Jonny Palmer, who both comfortably claimed the highest-ever positions in the very competitive North Midlands Cross Country League at Corby (plus great runs at the... Continue Reading →

Despite the start line cancellation of the Great Eastern Half - one of the most popular events amongst GRC runners - October 2019 once again saw a bumper pack of superlative performances that caused headaches for the voting panel to form a definitive, but manageable, list of nominations for Member of the Month. Apologies once... Continue Reading →

Another month, another set of superb results from many members of Grantham Running Club: victories, podium finishes, extreme distances covered and PBs galore! As always apologies if you felt your efforts deserved nomination. They probably did but to try and keep the list relatively manageable tough decisions had to (once again) be made to produce... Continue Reading →

The summer holidays means different strokes for different folks. Some like to enjoy the beach in hot climes, some exhaust themselves entertaining the kids, some like to run big miles up big hills. Some, it seems, like to go out, race hard and hopefully smash PBs at any race they can enter – preferably at... Continue Reading →

The summer holidays has seen the announcement of July’s Grantham Running Club Member of the Month delayed somewhat but the passing of additional time has only served to cement what was another incredibly strong month for the club with many nominees worthy of the MOM crown and many runners not nominated owing to tough decisions... Continue Reading →

It was another strong month for Grantham Running Club and its members, with victories, club records and personal bests aplenty. Once again it proved tough to condense the number of worthy nominees down to a manageable number, so apologies if it appears you may have been overlooked.By neat coincidence every member of the club’s relay... Continue Reading →

Having harped on about how hard it was to produce a concise, definitive list of GRC Member of the Month nominations for April, May turned out to be even harder, with the quality of performances arguably greater and the list of worthy nominees spiralling out of control to the extent that ultimately some fairly brutal... Continue Reading →

As alluded to in the March MotM write up, April 2019 was a pretty spectacular month for Grantham Running Club – arguably the best in terms of superlative performances in its history. To make the ‘shortlist’ of nominations required a performance that would, in many instances, all but assure winning a Member of the Month... Continue Reading →

Writing this with the knowledge of the performances that took place in April 2019, March’s GRC Member of the Month is, in many respects, an hors d'oeuvres to what would be served in a spectacular April for the club. Nevertheless we were treated to some many excellent performances in March, as highlighted by the nominees... Continue Reading →

In some ways February is a bit of a curious month. With many runners targeting a spring Half Marathon or Marathon (or for some much, much further), they tend to treat the races they take part in during February as ‘hard training runs’, or maybe their performances are compromised by being in heavy training. Hence... Continue Reading →

The opening month of the year is traditionally something of a fallow month in this region for racing. The Folksworth 15 mile race tends to dominate the interest of GRC runners and 2019 was no exception. Six runners from that race were nominated for their efforts at the two lap event: Sarah Chynoweth, Joe Clarke,... Continue Reading →

Although one of the quieter months for racing, December still saw many club members taking part in a variety of events up and down the country with some fine achievements worthy of nomination for the twelfth and final Grantham Running Club Member of the Month for 2018. Caroline Davis was nominated for being the first... Continue Reading →

November saw another long list of worthy nominees for Grantham Running Club Member of the Month with some outstanding performances in a year already full of superlative efforts. Beginning with the race that ended the month, the GP Series Derby 10 Mile Race saw Chris Limmer run the second fastest 10 mile time of the... Continue Reading →

October 2018 saw a record number of nominations for GRC member of the month, so many that that there were a good number of runners who were not nominated purely because the shortlist had become too long already! A large swathe of the nominations came from runners who ran excellently at the very wet Perkins... Continue Reading →

With the voting panel (the club’s committee) being disbanded, only to be formed again, in a new, larger form, after the AGM, September’s GRC Member of the Month came perilously close to being a historical look back at events in the distant past. Fortunately a winner was found just before Halloween in addition to the... Continue Reading →

For a month that is traditionally one of the quieter months on the racing scene, there were a surprisingly high number of excellent performances which yielded a bumper crop of nominations for the August 2018 GRC Member of the Month. First off (and in no particular order) Matthew Atter secured an excellent new 10K PB... Continue Reading →

After a succession of months with increasingly large numbers of nominees the July 2018 GRC Member of the Month had a far more concise selection with five nominations. It is worth mentioning that this may have been due to a number of the voting panel being on their summer holidays and unable to actively partake... Continue Reading →

Halfway through 2018 and the sixth GRC Member of the Month was another closely fought affair, with a very good case to be made for many (Including those not nominated) to be worthy of the ‘prestigious’ accolade. The plethora of outstanding performances is all the more praiseworthy given the tough climatic conditions that prevailed for... Continue Reading →

May’s GRC Member of the Month was a fiercely fought battle between the (fairly) young and not so young; the seasoned campaigners and the not so experienced. The nominees ran (or attempted to run) a vast range of distances from the relatively short 5K to the ridiculously long 100 miles. One even broke a World... Continue Reading →

With April being a month dominated by marathons, a distance which conjures countless tales of heroism and inspiration, April’s GRC Member of the Month was always going to be a very hard decision to make. Not only was there a strong case to be made for each of the thirteen who made the shortlist, there... Continue Reading →

For many a British based runner, the Beast from the East I / Beast from the East II made March 2018 a month maybe best forgotten. You may be forgiven for thinking March 2018 MOM had succumbed to the Beast too but, like many a March race, the announcement had merely been postponed and not... Continue Reading →

The month’s shortlist was dominated by runners who took part in two races that took place on the same day - the Stamford 30K and the rescheduled Keyworth Turkey Trot. The East Midlands 10K saw some fine performances, with personal bests from Emma Weighill, Claire Fritz and Melanie Taylor but it was Russell Maksymiw who... Continue Reading →

In a month short on races, many of those shortlisted took part in the Folksworth 15 Mile Race, which will go down in history as featuring some of the worst race conditions witnessed in living memory. Andrew Pask, who ran a 15 Mile PB; Catherine Payne, who won her age category; and Peter Bonner, who... Continue Reading →
