  5. Wilmslow 1/2 Marathon

Race report by Paul:

Wilmslow half for me this morning, half marathon no 3 for this year. 1.55 1762/3499

Well organised and some lovely country roads! It all started abit quick with a massive start of 10k and half runners combined together, unfortunately for me that would only really mean one thing I would set off far too fast for my current fitness.

Settling into miles 6 averaging 7.50 per mile i knew i really needed to slow down. By mile 9 I was really starting to feel it and Paul who I was running with was limping with an injury to his hamstring and he pulled up, so I gave him a good fisting down the back of his leg, and we got going again together. Having little walking breaks and keeping each other going.

I had a good run just a bit of pace management wouldn’t have gone a miss, but what’s a run with me unless something goes wrong 🤣 It was great run and definitely a run in would do again.

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.
