Rochford Running Club

Rochford Running Club Rochford Running Club (RRC) was formed in 2012 to serve the community of Rochford (Essex)

Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned ultra-marathon runner, there is a place for you at RRC. Our beginner groups take those new to the sport from not running at all up to 3 miles continuously in 12 weeks (or sooner). Those that catch the bug move into the 'improvers' groups, with many signing up for, and completing, their very first competitive races. Those aiming for more demanding

events, such as the London Marathon, will also find the help, advice and assistance they need to cover the distance come race day. We have several experienced members who have completed a number of endurance events - all of whom are keen to show others how to take on an extreme challenge.

Then on Sunday we had the gang out there not only running, but supporting and volunteering on a beautiful summer’s morning down at the Southend half marathon!

We had Steve running his first ever half marathon, and Lucy, Scott and Shannene all bagged PBs on what was a warm sunny race! Well done all, and an awesome event, with the course providing a great setup meaning our runners regardless of speed got to see each other multiple times and provide some shouts of encouragement!!

We then can’t forget about Tom and Rosemary who took on the Stour valley marathon and half marathon respectively and Rob also then tackling the high Easter 10K as well.

Amazing running all this weekend, and we go again already over with our friends at Phoenix for round 3 of their summer series!

As always parkrun kicked off the weekend for RRC, with our runners touring as always, with a few runners offering up their time volunteering as they prepared for events that were unfolding on Sunday!

We are certainly “rolling” into the weekend now!

The RRC gang were put through their paces yesterday with the 200m/400m effort session, and was great to get focused on some speed work! And on the discussion of speed; congratulations to Karen for picking up the time trial award for our recent time trial event!

Now, as always tomorrow brings parkrun, and then Sunday we’ve got the Southend half marathon! We’ve got PB chasers, first time half marathoners involved for this year’s run!

Enjoy your running all this weekend whatever you are doing 🫡🩵🖤

Within RRC, we have such a mix of runners, and with everything going on, there is something for everyone right now.

We had, Sean (first time), Clive, (first time back since 2023), and crown 2 crown veterans Dani & Robert hitting the tough 5K course last night. Great effort guys, and straight into tonight’s effort session we go!

After that, it’s straight onto the Southend Half Marathon Sunday!

Please don’t adjust your phone… our opening picture here represents the hills from Sunday’s Rayleigh 10K. A huge thanks to RTC events for hosting Sunday. A great event and morning!

On a course that went round part of our local parkrun, our own XC course, amongst other local races, it was like a greatest hits tour, and even the rain stopped for a day as well!

We saw a host of runners running for different reasons; training for longer events, returning from injuries, or just for the pure joy of it! 🤷‍♂️. As always, a huge thank you to our RRC supporter crew on the day. And also what better way to finish a summer race then with an RRC BBQ 🍔🍖🥗🍻🥂.

And as always, and the reason why our weekends go so quick (because we are always running); the gang were out parkrunning on Saturday.

As always, we love doing our trail runs in the summer, and when planning the sessions, what better way to enjoy our very own XC route, then in the beautiful summer time…

Well…cue the weather gods, who pretty much turned our route into almost a clsssic winter XC route; but it was perfect. The rain had stopped by the time we got going, the sun was out, and it made for a beautiful evening run.

With 3 routes, all adapted around our very own XC route; each route was catered for all abilities that we host within the club. You don’t get any better than these summer night runs 😮‍💨😮‍💨.

Take us back to Saturday 😎

An awesome parkrun attendance by the RRC crew on Saturday.

We saw the team over at Southend, on what was a scorcher!

As always, there were our tourists out and about too!

Finally, we had Dave out at the Folkestone 10K yesterday!

Great running all, and have an awesome week!

Admin’s top tip; avoid the A127 London bound!

Whilst admin is stuck in traffic on the 127, it seems like a good time to update what RRC has been up to over the last 7 days!

As per usual, we had our runners out and about here there and everywhere doing what they love most; parkrun!

We then had the Thameside 10K Sunday, which turned out to be one hot race 🥵🥵.

Then finally we finished the week off on the Thursday with our joint track session with Pitsea, and Jo and Debbie taking over the session!

Tomorrow we celebrate Debbie’s 250th parkrun and Scott’s 100th (if he’s up in time!). Here’s to the weekend! Enjoy! 🩵🖤

It’s been a busy week at RRC.

Tuesday we had the Phoenix Striders Summer Series, and the gang back at home took on the Southend Stairs effort session.

Then Thursday we had the gang running around the Rayleigh 10K route, but also runners attending the Chelmsford Brewery 10K. A tough run, but beautiful conditions, met with a perfect partnering beer at the end!

As we approach this absolutely gorgeous bank holiday; we have parkruns, Thameside 10K as well as our runners out and about doing their weekend runs.

Have a great bank holiday all, and remember; keep cool and hydrated in the heat when running! 🫡🖤🩵
