The Harborough Five is another part of the EMGP famed for its hills, namely the climb from three to four miles but when you've conquered it, it is really that bad.
NRR was proud to have four finishers in top 40 (or 32 as Simeon would say).
David Green had another storming run with a 27:09 finish. Tony Letts recorded a PB in 28:44 and Daniel Cook finished 31st in 29:46, one place ahead of Simeon Howson 29:54.
Matt Brand finished in 31:42 and Mark Kennedy was pleased with a 33:49 finish. Pete Moor was next in 35:16.
Sarah Jones was first NRR lady in 35:53 and Steve Prior was next for the men in 36:51. More ladies, Charlotte Yarker 37:00, Beckie Hollowell 37:18 and Wendy Parker 39:04.
Two Jon/Johns and two different spellings were to follow, John Eales 39:28 and Jon Dilworth 39:50.

Banbury Five
Round five of the East Midlands Grand Prix Series is the Banbury Five, an undulating country route with some excellent fast downhill stretches.
A record twenty NRR members took on the challenge and, not wishing the sun away, thankfully the clouds appeared for the time around the race making conditions cooler.
There were some fantastic performances again, Tony Letts was 3rd M45 in 29:02, only ten days after his ultra adventure. Simon Howson was just over the half hour in 30:09 and Andy Blaize ran 31:06.
Matt Brand, another ultra guy, finished in 31:12 and Mark Kennedy finished in 33:57. Peter Moor, also fresh from his ultra, finished in 35:19.
Sarah Jones continues to go from strength to strength, finishing in 35:47 and was 3rd F45 overall.
Next to cross the line was Steve Prior (36:15) followed by Charlotte Yarker (36:31), Beckie Hollowell 37:36 and John Eales weren't far behind in 37:58. Four more runners all finished just under the 40 minute barrier too, Andy Cottrell (39:09), Jon Dilworth 39:14, Wendy Parker (39:21) and Paul Braddock (39:53).
Elaine Palmer was next home in 40:42 followed by Jo Smith 41:54, Jo Letts 43:38 and Colin Bricher 46:09. Finally was Eamon Kennedy (46:21), rumour has it that he was seen running in the opposite direction on the course.

The Otmoor Challenge
Northampton (off) Road Runners have had the Otmoor Challenge on the calendar for the past few years. The half marathon(ish) route takes a trip around the Oxforshire countryside offering a mix of country roads, fields and trails with the start/finish time, unusually at 2pm, is part of the village's annual fate.
Seven NRR off roaders made the sort trip this year with the lure of cake and a beer tent at the finish, they set off in the hot but muddy conditions.
It was good to see seasoned cross countryman Mark Garrett back in his trail shoes and he finished in a very respectable 1:40:36. Ronnie Ambrose finished in 1:53:34 seconds ahead of Beckie Hollowell 1:53:38. Mark Kennedy completed his third Otmoor in a row in 1:58:53 (enjoying the jelly baby stop at mile 10).
John Eales made his off road running debut with a fantastic 2:00:20 finish and Jim Anderson was close to follow him home in 2:02:57. Wendy Parker was next in 2:05:35 and Suzanne Baldwin completed a great line up 2:12:46.

Corby Five
The East Midlands Grand Prix series reached the halfway point at East Carlton Country Park on the Northants Leics border.

A clutch of NRR members put in some great performances on the night, David Green was 4th overall in a fantastic time of 27:00. Daniel Cook finished 26th on the night in 29:26.

Ultra Madness
On 1st June, seven brave souls pushed themselves to the limit with the 35 mile Northants Ultra starting out from the lovely Lamport Hall. Sometimes people say Northants is a flat county but if you talk to any of these people, they will tell you otherwise.
Tony Letts finished 7th overall in the event timed at 5:00:55, pretty impressive eh? Matt Brand took part last year and finished in 5:26:38, 14th overall.
Jon Panter had a storming run and looked pretty fresh at the end after 6:24:10 on his feet. Richard Cormack, also a veteran from last year and smashed 90 minutes off his time too - 7:12:57.
Pete Moor hit legendary status by smashing the Edinburgh Marathon one week, deciding to enter this ultra on a whim and then smashing it in 7:17:51.
Jocelyn Granger loves a challenge and was back for more for her second appearance and again put together a good team - 7:23:59
Andy Cottrell 7:50:42 completed a fabulous line up that was well supported by a cheering crowd of NRR at the finish line.
Everybody stayed until the end to cheer all on until Andy crossed the finish line (including Tony and Matt who had finished earlier), that is what makes this club so proud. Well done all.

Stu Drummond paced his good lady wife around and Micky Bhogal also took part.
Great support from the locals including Elaine, Miles (organising) and others.

Silverstone 10K
The East Midlands Grand Prix Series kicked off with the traditional Silverstone curtain raiser. The two lap route around the circuit offers great PB potential. This year's event was cool and windy offering a few challenges on the way.
The series is eight events in total and a great way of building your summer fitness. Next Wednesday is the Rugby 6, entries are available on the night.

Milton Keynes Marathon and Half
A good NRR crowd made their way to the Milton Keynes Marathon on Bank Holiday Monday for a May Day run.
Five decided on the full marathon, some hadn't had enough after their London experience.
Daniel Cook finished in a brilliant 3:01:56 and Matt Brand grabbed a PB in 3:11:18. Rob Donovan recorded a very respectable 4:12:42 with Andy Cottrell (who also ran London) in 4:22:42. NRR draw winner Suzanne Baldwin won her place in the club draw and followed up her London aventure with a 4:23:44 finish.
In the half marathon, Ilir Brecani enjoyed a good run in 1:34:03 and Mark Kennedy completed his third in three weeks with a 1:36:59 finish. Pete Moor continued his Edinburgh build up finishing in 1:48:33. Sarah Jones finished her second half with a PB of 1:48:36 alongside Caroline Powell in 1:48:59.
A race wouldn't be a race without Eamon Kennedy (1:52:02) with Darren Byfield 1:55:22 and
Jim Anderson 2:02:59 completing the line up.
The event was mainly along MK's Dual carriageways and although not the prettiest of routes, there was plenty of vocal support along the way. Miles 12 took a short detour from the roads to the Redways for a lap around a picturesque lake before a finale round the Stadium MK to the finish line.
If you like medals, there is a great chunky one on offer at the end.

Marathon Masters
"If you think you can or you think you can't, you're probably right!" A quote form the great Henry Ford...
Well if you think you can run a marathon then chances are you can and you will!
Huge congratualtion to Charlotte Yarker for not only completing her first ever marathon in Paris at the weekend but she smashed the four hour barrier in 3:54:56.
Unfortunately the club banner has yet to be seen on the Eiffel Tower though...
At Brighton, Richard Wild ran a brilliant 3:47:53 and John Eales did 4:33:43.
Three terrific achievements all round...more to follow next week...

Oakley 20
An old favourite for marathon training, the Oakley 20 is a short journey to Bedford for a two lap affair through lovely countryside. The first lap is 12 miles and the second slightly shorter cumulating in a winding finish through a housing estate to a big cheer at the end.
Nine NRR members tried their luck on the day and there were some fantastic performances.

Finally to Devon for the much loved and much talked about legendary Grizzly this year named Withering Heights (Featuring Heath and Cliff!)
A trio took on the Cub Run, a nine mile loop from Seaton to Brankscombe via the pretty village of Beer (yes we need one of those at the end).
Martin Andrews finished in 1:32:17 and Jim Anderson in 1:52:04. Sandwiched between was Ronnie Ambrose in 1:43:26, making his return from injury. Ronnie's last race was the Beast in Dorset so why not pick something easy to return...the Grizzly!
The Full Grizzly takes runners another ten miles over more cliffs, more hills, more fields and add a couple of muddy bogs to make the journey more 'enjoyable'.
Matt Brand enjoyed an amazing run in 3:10:10 with Stuart Drummond and Pete Moor making their debuts (after discussing a sub 7 minute mile one pace strategy, they gave up and enjoyed the scenery). Darren Baldwin returned for his second attempt and broke four hours with 3:57:29 as did Wendy Parker 3:58:59 in her third Grizzly adventure.
Jocelyn Granger made her third appearance 4:20:30 and Suzanne Baldwin her second 4:28:25
Paul Braddock 4:28:22 and Mark Kennedy 4:38:35 raced for the medical room at the end with a cuts and bruises but both are fine. Paul holds the record for six falls in his event...that will go some way to be beaten.

Well done to Ilir Brecani (1:35:50) and Lyndsey Breci (3:00:10) who made their half marathon debuts. Jon Dilworth (1:53:54) and Jo Lee (2:06:17) enjoyed great runs.
At the 10K distance, Eamon Kennedy (49:15) and Darren Windows (50:41) completed the course.

Finally to Devon for the much loved and much talked about legendary Grizzly this year named Withering Heights (Featuring Heath and Cliff!)
A trio took on the Cub Run, a nine mile loop from Seaton to Brankscombe via the pretty village of Beer (yes we need one of those at the end).
Martin Andrews finished in 1:32:17 and Jim Anderson in 1:52:04. Sandwiched between was Ronnie Ambrose in 1:43:26, making his return from injury. Ronnie's last race was the Beast in Dorset so why not pick something easy to return...the Grizzly!
The Full Grizzly takes runners another ten miles over more cliffs, more hills, more fields and add a couple of muddy bogs to make the journey more 'enjoyable'.
Matt Brand enjoyed an amazing run in 3:10:10 with Stuart Drummond and Pete Moor making their debuts (after discussing a sub 7 minute mile one pace strategy, they gave up and enjoyed the scenery). Darren Baldwin returned for his second attempt and broke four hours with 3:57:29 as did Wendy Parker 3:58:59 in her third Grizzly adventure.
Jocelyn Granger made her third appearance 4:20:30 and Suzanne Baldwin her second 4:28:25
Paul Braddock 4:28:22 and Mark Kennedy 4:38:35 raced for the medical room at the end with a cuts and bruises but both are fine. Paul holds the record for six falls in his event...that will go some way to be beaten.

Berkhamsted Beauty and Silverstone Speed
2nd March saw NRR take runners to Berkhamsted and Silverstone for two Half Marathon Challenges.
Both courses are different in many ways, Berkhamsted offers countryside views and a few playful hills both up and down. The route takes in lovely national forest and passes the Ashbridge Estate before a welcome decent in the last mile to the finish line.
Silverstone is a mutli lap course around the world famous circuit, flat and fast, although a strong headwind made this year's event a little tougher.
Jon Panter was close to a PB at Berkhamsted and Andy Cottrell nailed his at Silverstone.
