Southport Beach 10K Entry Details And Route Map

25 August 2011: Southport Beach Race (by Brian Grice)

The famous Southport Beach Race is back after a gap of 15 years. The DW Fitness Southport Beach 10K starts on the beach next to the pier at 10am on Sunday September 4th with about 2 miles on the beach and the rest on the good tarmac path along Marine Drive. This is a UKA event over a certified accurate course. The Southport Beach Race was organised by Southport Waterloo AC from 1983 to 1996 when the beach looked very different with miles of compacted sand all the way to Ainsdale and beyond. In the early years the Beach Race was held over 10 miles with an amazing field of more than 1,200 runners in 1984 won by Gerry Helme who went on to set the course record (50.27) in 1986. Kate Harrison had a remarkable hat trick of wins for the club in the Beach Race, including a win over 10 miles in 1990 and then successes over 10K when the distance was changed in 1991. The revived Beach Race starts with about one mile on the sand from the pier to Weld Rd and then almost 3 miles on the path/pavement along Marine Drive to a point beyond Hesketh Rd. The return leg includes a stretch along the beach before rejoining Marine Drive. There are good prizes at stake with £100 to the winner and £75 to the second in both the men’s and women’s events. Of course, everyone is guaranteed a fast start on the vast wide expanse of Southport Beach. This is a fast course on a calm day with very little of the race on soft sand. Nostalgics will love the new 'Beach Race' even if most of our beach has disappeared under a swathe of mud and grass.

Pirate Radio On Merseyside And Memories Of Long Hot summers Past And Radio Jackie North

ROCKIN HARD!
It's strange how the past catches up with you, talking to Neil on our regular Wednesday social night this week, over a few jars, conversations turned to pirate radio!
It seems both Neil and myself had fond memories of listening to the pirate Rock station RADIO JACKIE NORTH.
For me, I remember long hot summers back in the mid 70's-early 80's lazing about listening to R.J.N. in my parents back garden with the radio on full blast!
At one point I even sent in my own two hour music tapes to Eric Haydock AKA Rick Dane which he played through the air waves!
After my conversation with Neil I decided to find out what happened to Eric and R.J.N.
The news was not good, it seems he committed suicide back in 2002 due to very extreme depression!
But the memory lives on and Eric sure knew how to ROCK, R.I.P. Eric!

How To Run Faster With Your Mind Power!

Move Into the "Zone" of Higher Performance

Hey guys,

Remember the best lesson you can ever learn is that your mind controls your body,don't be a zombie!

Don't be a tool, read on.

You can cope with daily emergency situations and daily challenges where you need extra time and powers that heightened awareness affords you. You can run faster in less time and slow down events when needed by altering your perception of time and space. Some of the greatest athletes do it. Heroic rescue teams do it. You can do it too.

Fundamentals of Running Part II With Coach Jay Johnson

Parbold Hill Run With Paul And Ben

I met up with Ben and Paul on saturday afternoon for a long run around Parbold and Ashurst Beacon.
Thankfully Ben was taking it easy after a second place in a 10K race just a few day before, otherwise Paul and me would have never been able to keep up!
First climb was up the one mile Stoney Lane climb followed by Hunters Hill then on to Ashurst Beacon.
Once we reached the church we turned left and followed a single track up to the Beacon.
As we reached the steepest section Ben romped away leaving Paul and me in his wake!
The final climb was up Fairy Glen and Paul set a ferocious pace that both Ben and myself were happy just to hang onto!
Great run thanks guys.
Next stop is a 10K next weekend!

Run Faster Just By Adding These Two Simple Sessions To Your Training!

My Sports physio recommended I did some single leg hopping to improve my leg strength.
After doing some research I came across Mike Trees article, he recommends doing uphill single leg hopping to increase stride length and doing wind sprints to improve leg speed.
Read his article and watch his videos Here
Give it a try and see if you get faster and stronger after just 6 weeks!
