Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

Our resident ultra man, Mike Sellors completed this race and come home 7th in a time of 5:57:05.

There were 73 finishers.

Pete Beresford completed this marathon in 4:52.  All we know about it is that it is a marathon which includes 5,700 ft of climbing.

There were some cracking performances at the weekend with six Barlickers making the trip to Chester for the Marathon.  Ian Livesey is really putting the mileage in at the minute and came home in 8th place with a new pb of 2.34.59.  Julian Hood has been running really well this year and came home 12th, again in a new pb of 2.37.13.  Completing the trio in the top 20 was club record holder Chris Singleton, who had another solid performance, but by his own high standards, was left a tad disappointed on the day.  Newest club member Ian Cock was next home in 3.10 with his good mate James Tingle not far behind in 3.16.
Scott Boardman was also running for his chosen charity and finished in a time of 4.06.  All in all a successful day for the Marathon boys who are starting to push each other on.  We now have 4 runners who have been under 2.40.  Matt Lalor and Russell Parrington will be looking to hit that landmark in Dublin at the end of the month.  We are still awaiting confirmation but Barlick may have won the team prize which is yet another first for the club in a Marathon.

The pub run was down on numbers this week but not quality of participants with Jack Ingham making a much anticipated return.  Still no massive(work), Glenn (holiday) and John Boothman (tired!!!!). I don't believe race machine Boothman has ever been tired.  Sellors trapped on his hair dryer and was playing with the chain on his bike.  A quick emergency phone call and Shaun 'AA' Chew came and sorted it.  Once Sellors had sorted himself and got changed we were off on a shortish run.  The usual pace setters were off and whipped man Collins was soon pushing Sellors at the usualfrantic pace.  We soon made it to the bottom of the steep end of Weets and half bull half man Lee 'swell head' Edwards was off in pursuit of the hares.  We made it back to forty steps in one piece, although Sellors tried to hang himself on a stile on the way down much to our amusement (still needs to get a decent headtorch).  Ingham was suffering a tad and decided enough was enough and dropped in his house on the way past.  It was at the end of 40 steps where Jock caught us by surprise and darted off saying "see you next week", without us even being able to give him the whip phone app.  The best excuse for not having a beer though was presented by the Minotaur himself.  Jen asked Lee if they were going for a beer, Lee made it look like it was his decision and said no.  This was clearly a well rehearsed act to get him out of the pub.

Once we got sat down John Boothman joined us and did look a tad jaded.  Although the 3 peaks cyclocross and two training sessions would've rendered lesser men useless.
Andy Collins looked a happy man as he was off the hook for most whipped pub run member this week due to Jock's demise.  No Screw either this week, probably due to the rumours of Jack Inghams Wednesday night house calls.
Next week we'll be at the Red Lion and hopefully, we'll be back to full strength.

Chewy

Lee Parrington was holidaying in the Lakes this weekend when he stumbled across this race.  Carrying on his great form at the minute, he won it. 

Further details follow.

Dea Walkden has been trying to get below 40 minutes for a 10K race.  He finished this one in 40:02, still a PB, but a tantalizing 3 seconds adrift from his target, which he still hopes to achieve before he is 50.

We had two members out in this race riding as Barlick Fell Runners.  David Poole had a brilliant race to finish in 89th position  and John Boothman did better than he expected finishing 335th.  John describes it as a bike race with three hard fell races thrown in, carrying your bike up and then riding back down on bone shaking descents.

Sam Gibbs and Shaun Chew entered under the Hope Factory Team and finished 53rd and 113th respectively.

89 David Poole 3:45:12
335 John Boothman 4:39:33

536 finished and a lot didn't.
