Congratulations to Ben Spencer-Jones for wining August Member of the Month.
Ben was nominated for achieving a superb PB double — 41:08 at the Bearbrook 10km
followed by 18:55 at Buckingham parkrun,
shaving a second off a time he set seven years ago.

Other nominees for August were:
Andy Thirtle – for his consistently positive attitude, strong work ethic at every session, and the example he sets at parkrun.
Rachel Cooke – for an outstanding new 10‑mile PB of 1:03:15, putting her number 1 in the country for her age group by over two minutes - an incredible achievement.

Great final track session of the season last night!
A brilliant mix of interval work across all paces, plus a few brave souls taking on the mile time trial.
Highlight of the evening goes to Bethany, who smashed her mile PB target of 6:10 and flew home in 5:55 - superb running!
Well done everyone who came down and made it such a fun session.

🌅 Tuesday Evening Runs
What a lovely evening for getting out on the trails!
Groups took on everything from quiet country lanes to rolling local hills, while one of our coaches led a brilliant hill session under that sunset.

🏃‍♀️Sunday Runs!
Plenty of miles being enjoyed across the club today.
Those pictured were out at the Headington 5 (with Nicole running a new PB 🎉), the Stowe Trust 10K, and on a local 6‑mile loop - and no doubt many others were out getting their Sunday miles in too ☀️

And a shout‑out to Rachel at the Dereham 10‑mile — 1:03:15, 3rd lady overall, 1st in age 😀💪
