Paula Radcliffe as been to the very top in her running career, but she has now entered a different world where, like many others, she is trying to fit in some running in between looking after two children and other domestic pressures. In her article in the Daily Telegraph, she makes her suggestions as to how to enjoy mid life running.

Two Barlickers went up for this 23 mile / 7.513 ft race.
The wind and rain was pretty bad up the first climb, although it did improve in the second half of the race, with some great views greeting the runners. Despite the weather, Gary had a decent run and knocked 13 minutes off his time for last year. The full results are yet to be published, but provisionally, the times are:
50 Gary Bradley 5:43:46
?? Jack Ingham 6:38:00
Des Walkden thought that he would try something different, so he travelled down to the beautiful location of Betws y Coed in North Wales On the race day it was typical pouring down Welsh weather. He entered the 50K multi event which was as follows:
Stage 1 8km trail run 1028 ft climb
Stage 2 11km road bike 1082 ft climb
Stage 3 1km kayak- shortened to 0.5km due to bad weather
Stage 4 9km trail run 1154 ft climb
Stage 5 14km road bike 695 ft climb
Stage 6 7km trail run 879 ft climb
He managed to pace himself OK and finished 13th overall in a time of 3:48:34.
154 finishers.

This is a 13.3 mile race with 4,600 ft of ascent with magnificent views over Ullswater. It is a favourite of Dave Halliday and he has now taken part in iit for three years in succession. He was particularly pleased with his performance this year, as it is the first time that he has completed the course under three hours.

A last minute race for Emma Bailey and a warm one at that, but no complaints from Emma, who sailed round to take first place in the ladies race.

Some of the Barlick juniors are made of tough stuff and for half of those at this event, it was their second race of the day. Not that you would have known looking at the results, with six podium finishes, two of them being firsts. It was particularly pleasing to see Oscar Clayton being one of them. He has persisted with his running and done plenty of racing and it is good to see that this is starting to pay off.

A good run by Tom Corrigan saw him once more see off the opposition and win this race. Andy Collins is showing a rapid return to form and a great run saw him sneak home in front of Sam Watson of Wharfedale to finish as runner up to Tom. Another great run was by U18 Alex Mason who finished in seventh position and together with Jon Cleaver, who finished 5th, this was enough for Barlick to take the team prize.
In the ladies' race, Caroline Lambert of Ribble Valley was the winner, who finished ahead of Annie Roberts of Todmorden and Victoria Mouseley of Blackburn.
Again, Barlick took the team prize with Jacqueline Collins having another good run and leading team mates Victoria Peel and Lucy Brown home.
