Rain, wind and freezing temperatures did not deter three Yorkshire Wolds Runners as they competed in Sunday’s Ferriby 10. This 10 mile road race is organised by City of Hull AC and regularly attracts over 500 runners.
Despite the weather conditions, all three of the club’s runners achieved personal best times by beating their 2013 finish times.
Paul Wilson was the club’s first runner to finish in 1:11:02. He was swiftly followed by Matt Simpson in 1:11:14 and Wayne Leighton in 1:12:19. This marked Wayne’s second PB of the weekend as he also set a new personal best time on Saturday at the Sewerby Park Run.
This week marks the start of the club’s six week Jog-Along course.
The sessions are aimed at new runners or those getting back into running.
Each session will be led by a qualified coach and will be planned according to the needs of individual runners.
The cost for the six week course is just £10.
The Tuesday sessions will run from 6.15pm until 7pm and Thursday training sessions will start at 7pm.
All sessions will start and finish at Driffield Leisure Centre.
Yorkshire Wolds Runners always welcome new members of any ability, from complete beginners through to seasoned athletes.
