  5. Astley Park Trail Series Race 2

Race Report by Gareth:

13 Lostockers took part in the 3rd race on the midweek champs last night, Astley Park race 2.

I won’t bore everyone with the route description again as it’s the same race every month for 3 months lol.

Dave Parry stormed home to be first back for team green closely followed by Janet who backed up Sunday’s long Lakeland 50 recce with another fantastic age category win & 5th female overall! Hot on her heels was David Wilkes in his first attempt on the course with a very creditable 3rd place MV60.

Philip ran another great race despite struggling with his breathing towards the end & Johanna improved her time from the first race by a second to also finish 3rd in a very competitive age category & was also 9th female.

Other improvers from the first race were Chris, Heather and myself and Mike was another one to make his first attempt in this years series.

Strong performances in a similar time from Katie, Terri & Lynda whilst Rachel Stevens was a proper trooper competing despite clearly suffering with a bad cold/chest infection.

Big shout outs to Luke & Abi for pb’s in the junior race beforehand!

Well done everyone, next stop on the midweek champs is Haigh 4 mile race next Wednesday 💚🖤.

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.
