Right you lot! Thank you very much to those that came and marshalled at the Turkey Trot. What an amazing turn out of support. Some great performances too. Lots of sub 30s by the men. Beth Tabor won the ladies equalling Lucy Calrow’s course record.  Talking of Lucy’s… Lucie Tait-Harris has joined Wolves, huge welcome mate we’re so happy to have you, and she came a very good second to Beth. 


Can I just say thank you to you all for all of your lovely messages too. My knee is doing well and I’ll be back running soon. So, onto the training: 


Tuesday warmed up and ready at 6.50pm 12 x 400m off 60 secs at Ashfield Road followed by a 2 mile tempo. 


Saturday warmed up and ready to go at 9am Compton Park. 5 mins quick followed by 10 x 2 min (off 1 min recovery float) continuous. Followed by 5 min tempo - grass session. 


Tuesday (Boxing Day) meet at Odd Fellows 9.30am XMAS HANDICAP 2.5 mile course starts at 10am on railway track and canal. I’ll send out a google form thing for you to enter (free) next week. ALL WELCOME. If you’re nee to running handicaps we work your start time off your latest 5 / 10k time and the slowest. The person with the fastest time goes off last. If everyone has been honest you should all come back at the same time! That never happens as most people bullshit how unfit they are etc etc!!!!!

Well done all for another great week of training. Some tough sessions in the bag — and our first cross-country training session successfully completed too. A big shout-out to everyone who took part in the Wolves Coleman Mile this week as well. A fantastic debut from Joe Marples, and it was superb to see Lucy Calrow back on the track with the club. Young James Neilson ran an excellent race, holding off the likes of our own Alex Blair, who is getting quicker by the day. James won the overall men’s event in a brilliant time of 4:36.3, which isn’t far off the record. Other regular members of our group who put in great mile performances were Jay Patel, Paul Rogers, and the very speedy Paul Dean, who finished 3rd overall. And a personal shout-out to my favourite child — [only joking!] Serge — who took the win in his race. Also in that race was Megan White, who won the overall ladies’ category. A big shout-out to Jon Hart too, who finished 2nd in his age group and 10th overall in the England ...

  Hello! Some fantastic training completed recently and some great racing to celebrate. Congratulations to Gary Worrall , who represented Worcestershire in the Inter-Counties Cross Country —a stacked field! Always great to earn a county senior vest . Alex Blair ran a PB at the Battersea Half Marathon across the full distance (77 minutes) and also smashed his 10K PB . He’s looking strong for his upcoming marathon—his training is really paying off. Big shoutout to Alex’s brother, Matt , who is absolutely smashing his running, too. We’ve got our eye on you, sir! Good genes. Tom Pryor also did himself proud at the Chester 10K , setting a fantastic PB of 37 minutes . The last couple of miles looked tough, but what a great winter he’s had! Excited to see what he can do on the track this season. Jonny Morris and Dan Turner also smashed their recent half marathons last weekend both running a superb 70 minutes. Well done lads.  The Spring Relays are coming up, and you all kn...

Give us a follow on Instagram:  trx_renagade_running Hello everyone, Well done again on another great weekend of training – the improvements are really showing. It’s time to start thinking about upcoming races like Mid Cheshire, Ellerdine, and the relays. Even though I’ve left Wolves, I’d still encourage you to support your clubs and run a relay leg if you can. Before long, the Cross Country season will kick off at Wolves Stadium with the Midland Cross Country Relays. Think ahead now about which races you want to do in late summer and early winter. And of course, for the men – you’ve earned your right to go and smash the First Division in the Birmingham League. Get out there and show them what you can do! For those talking about marathon training – start increasing your weekly volume gradually, especially Wednesdays and Sundays. Don’t jump into high mileage too fast. And remember: not every session needs to be an all-out effort. For a marathon, focus on building a strong engine and...
