Forth Valley League - a strong start

Submitted by davida on Fri, 03/05/2013 - 12:26am

Last Saturday around 30 of our kids team (under 11's, 13's and 15's) headed to Grangemouth for the first Forth Valley League meeting of the summer season. I'm pleased to say that my early season optimism was not misplaced as we witnessed some excellent performances by the whole team. On the day we finished second of nine clubs with Edinburgh AC just pipping us by a meagre five points (535 v 530). Plans are already afoot to rectify that at the 2nd match on 18 May. The full results are attached (I hope!) and definitely worth a scan.

London Marathon 2013

Submitted by Bryan Clark on Tue, 30/04/2013 - 5:51pm

After a week off running and as I prepare to ease back into training I figured I'd put up a short report on the London Marathon. I don't normally write race reports but I always encourage others to do so so figured I should follow my own advice and write a report about the race as nobody else has done so yet and maybe others will add their own comments to my report.

Gillian and nipped over to the bonny banks of Loch Lomond to take part in this years Balfron 10K. The race have been rated highly in a number of running mags over the last few years as one of the UK top 10 races so thought it would worth checking out.

Best run ever on one of the worst nights ever.

Following a record breaking winter season by our seniors the kids section have put down an early marker that they intend to put in as equally an impressive summer. Last night 9 of our juniors headed through to Livingstone for the first open graded meeting of the season. The weather was abysmal. Gusting winds, cold temperatures and rain showers meant that all prospects of pbs were gone - or were they! Most impressive run of the night was Hannah Addison in the 800m. Despite the conditions (and a session of 16x200m the night before) Hannah battled her way to a time of 2mins 27.03secs.

Time Trail Night Number Two: The Sprints

Submitted by Timdog on Wed, 17/04/2013 - 9:03pm

It was another bone chittering and blustery evening for the second time trail night of the year and first for the sprinters. A 200m and 400m time trial was on offer and a large squad of juniors took it up. For some it was their first "race" on the track, a chance to try out their sprint starts, for others a time to try out their 2013 season legs.

12 Stage Road Relay Championships

Submitted by Tommo on Sun, 14/04/2013 - 10:41pm

The final 3 week build up to our 2nd visit to Sutton Coldfield and the 12 Stage Road Relay Championships was stressful. Mainly because there were so many athletes still in with a shout of making the cut and even those who couldn’t take part in the unofficial trial 2 weeks out still had opportunities to prove they were worth their salt. The desire of many to be a part of the team and travelling group was epitomized for me by an email from Stuart Campbell on the Friday before the final full weekend – I paraphrase, “my boys are playing football both days and I might struggle to get to a race

CAAC men keep the silverware rolling in

On what was just about the warmest day of the year so far the CAAC men's team kept their run of firsts going with a second placed finish and maiden medal at the National Road Relay Championships at Livingston today.

New All Club Time Trails kick off Summer Training

Submitted by Timdog on Wed, 27/03/2013 - 10:55pm

There was a great turnout for the first All Club Time Trail night. Despite sub zero temperature more than 40 of us turned out to lay down a start of season marker over 1000m or 3000m. It was a inspiring display, a grand statement of our clubs tenacious spirit to strive for better. It was everything I had dreamed it could be - the perfect start to summer training.
