Parkrun Championships- Heaton Park

Known for its wide paths, steady drags and the sting in the tail from “that hill” before the finish, the course always tests pacing and grit.   There were an awesome 1039 runners Parkrun Championships- Heaton Park

Media City 1/2 Marathon

Paul was back in action at the Media City Half Marathon, using the flat but exposed Salford course as preparation for his April marathon. The race features one large lap around the waterfront and surrounding roads before a shorter closing loop, but strong winds sweeping across the open sections made pacing difficult.

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.
