07 January 2012
Welcome to the new year!  Lots of PBs last year so here's hoping this year is as good
 
25 November 2011
Our 10k (13 Nov) produce good personal best time for Stuart Mutch and a 3rd place for Terry.  Well done, Duncan for the organisation and all the helpers ... Carol-ann has taken a video that you can find on the 10k pages.  
Terry (5th) was joined by Darren (6th) at the Broch half the following week; Stuart Main ran a big personal best being under 2hours for the first time.

11 October 2011
Some great runs to finish the season; Stuart Mutch made a huge improvement in his marathon time 2hr -55min at Loch Ness while Stuart Main broke the 50min barrier at the Dyke 10k.  Well done to you both!

21 September 2011

Some good times at Buckie 10k with John D dipping well under 50mins and Stuart Main being very near.  Stuart Mutch continues to run faster with each race winning in the coastal run and doing a personal best at the Peterhead half despite the wind ... it may be the secret training with Darren!  Wishing Alan Reid well after his trouble with 10 ton lorries ... surely Terry can now beat him in training! 

6 September 2011

New date for our 10k road race
Sunday 13th November 2011

6 July 2011

A lot of races in the last few weeks with John Diffey running the midweek forest races and clocking a season's best at the weekend's Portsoy 10k. Alan also ran well to get near the 35min barrier; the lairig ghru race was probably a painful experience for him and I'm surprised Neil had legs to complete this after running the West Highland way the previous weekend ... roll on the cross Mount Blanc trek! 
Stuart & Carol-Ann crossed stream and bail at the Ythan challenge and want to do it again next year while Terry finished 3rd at Corrieyairack despite missing the two week training leading up to it. 

22 June 2011
Well done to Stuart Mutch who won at the 'Broch' 10k in a new PB.  Neil ran for over 31 hours to complete the West Highland Way ... awesome!

17 June 2011
Two winners on 5th June and neither of them was Alan ... but he did win the day before at Knockhill.  Stuart Mutch & Terry leading the fields at the lifeboat 10k & the Nairnshire challenge.  Alan also finish 4th at the beach 10k with a good time running into a strong wind.
John Diffey has been very active completing at least three of the mid week Forest runs around Forres and the Ben Aigan Hill race.

24 May 2011
Great run by Stuart Mutch in Edinburgh, a new PB 3-07-37, but sounds very windy in the last 8 miles so there is plenty time to come off at the next one (nae pressure Stuart!).  Meanwhile Neil MacRitchie was running  the 55 miles around the Cateran Trail but only half his 29 hour epic effort earlier in the year!
Four runners at the Baker Hughes 10k, all running well, Sandy Hastie took a chunk off his time from last year and Stuart Main is heading towards that 50min barrier.

19 May 2011
Lots of racing this weekend.  Good luck Stuart in Edinburgh; the weather could be a bit breezy for the Aberdeen 10k; the Longside 10k is not running this year.

22 April 2011

Well done marathon men, Ally (at London) & Duncan (at Zurich); have a look at the pictures of Ally at London to see a very tired athlete at the end!

29 March 2011
Lots of marathons planned:- Stuart, Carol-Ann & Ally are heading for London, Duncan for Zurich, Stuart runs in Edinburgh ... hope they all have been putting in the miles!  Alan (50k) and Neil (90k) have both outdone us all by putting in many laps of Perth.

25 March 2011
Lots of activity by our blue vests ... Stuart Mutch ran a PB for the half at Garioch and Terry ran for the first time for a while clocking up a good 10k time near the front ... Alan has crocked himself but still finished high up at Inverness ... Stuart Main competed for the club for the first time ... Neil has started the long distances again running the Deeside 33 ... good to hear that John D is back to 10k and 10 milers ... Duncan is preparing for longer races with a couple of halves in the last few weeks including at Inverurie, probably the warmest day of the year so far.  

25 February 2011
Alan has had a great start to the year winning the District League title again (12th time outright, plus 2 shared titles) ... the man's a legend!  He also completed the beach run ahead of everyone again against quite a head wind so times were slower ... I'm trying to track down some of the old times for this event so send in a copy if you have any ... Cameron has put his ' Beach run' video on You-tube so this must be worth a viewing. 
Hibernation time is nearly over so hopefully a few more runners will make their appearances in events ... Neil & Duncan are already out ... Ally is in for the 'London' so hopefully a few weekends are nice for those much needed long runs.


10 September 2010
Nearing the end of the road racing season.  Good turnout at the 10k race on a very windy day so times were slower than last year.  Alan had run the Speyside Way (35miles) the previous day having won the broch coastal run (17miler) 7 days before this. 
The windy seems to have been a feature of most races this year, Darren battled behind Alan in his first race this year.  Neil and Duncan had a torrid last 6 miles into the head wind in the Iceland marathon.  Since then Neil has run over 100miles over a 'Mount Blanc' route.  John R has finally passed Alan in a race ... Alan was running the Elgin marathon while JR was only doing half ... rumour has it that Terry was seen on his bike!

19 July 2010
Good to see Peterhead runners in results; Neil has run a large number of the ultramarathons and must be the most active runner in Scotland at these distances; Alan joined him at the Lairig Ghu and also was near the front at the Stonehaven half; I (JR) was in Wengen, home of the 'Downhill' ski races, a training run consisted of 25min down hill and then 35min continous uphill; consequently I am now injured! I think Terry is taking a 'recovery' break but Darren is now training fast again; Sandy has broken 70min for a 10 miler at Forres and Cromdale man (JD) has also appeared in results so it must be summer inland as well!

26 April 2010

Neil completed the Highland Fling in just under 13 hours while Duncan ran around London in 4hours 39min; well done both of you!

30 March 2010
Neil has completed a double marthon already this year; he apparently started suffering at 22 miles ... still with 30miles to go!  Mark Cauldwell won the beach run again on this 21st running; good to see Sandy running in the Peterhead colours again.  Alan has got some of his speed back again running 7th in the Moray 10k; Ally dipped under 40min at Inverurie 10k.  Still to see any Robertsons, John or Peter in any races!

31 January 2010

Poor weather in Peterhead in the last month has made training very difficult but there are marathons to be run later in the year.  Good to see Alan & Terry in the Nairn results from yesterday.  A club results sheet from 2009 should be posted to everyone very soon and all available magazines from the past can be found online (I think!).

25 November 2009

Tide times mean that the Annual Beach Run is later this year - The route is, of course, Peterhead to Fraserburgh and on Sunday 7 February 2010 from Peterhead Golf Club 10 / 11.45am start (Exact time to be confirmed).  There will be showers at the Fraserburgh James Ramsay Pavilion at finish; thanks to the Milnes!.

9 October 2009

John D is back to racing again.  He writes 'Through perseverance I have managed to overcome muscle ache and injuries, so a better result for the Kenilworth Half-Marathon.  1-50-41 in 271st place - 464 finishers.  In 30 or so years of running, that was my first ever race in England.  My perception is that the age profile is somewhat lower than in Scotland. 

28 August 2009

A good day for running our 10k, autumn temperatures and light winds; Alan made a great attempt to retain his title but is struggling with injury.  The highest number yet, 149, started the race; Well done, Duncan for the organising! Thank go to lots of others ... cluding Jim & Sandra, Sandra and other Brocher who marshalled and Michael from Buckie ... great to see other clubs helping out ... hope we can return the favour!  Neil still managed round in a good time afew days after his 50miler ... what is this man made of?

24 August 2009

Neil continues to clock up the miles, 50miles at Strathaven in just under 9 hours (they added an extra few hundred yards to the finishing line).

6 August 2009

Darren has just been telling me about Terry winning the corriyairack challenge ... fanastic achievement ... fired up by the second competitor cutting corners during the run.

3 Aug 2009

To think that I may have beaten Alan Reid (is 93-07 a PW?) at the Dyce half ... but I pulled my hamstring at Ballater (Yes, I have a muscle there!) ... Good to see John Diffey sprinting for the line with Anne Smith; Neil MacRitchie made up a rare PRC team finishing the event

9 July 2009

Alan Reid is the only club member to run on the track this year; he has competed at the AAAC club championships at 5000m (17-18.7) and 10000m (35-18.3).  25 laps of a track is not the most interesting pastime!  Is there any interest in holding a club championship 5000m at Catto Park this year?

Anyone heard from our Canadian runner, Andrew Greig?

Anyone got results from Longside 10k or Mintlaw 10k?
email me john@peterheadrunningclub.co.uk

20 June 2009

Good to see John Diffey and Sandy Hastie back to racing this year.  John has completed some of the Forest Runs winning his age group at Ben Aigan while Sandy has been completing 5k & 10k races.  Ian Duguid won his 5k race at Mintlaw ... he's pretending that this is as far as he is able to run ... what about Neil's 95 mile run!

 31 Jan 2009

Alan Reid in action at Nairn NDL,
(nabbed from the excellent forres harriers website)



Peterhead to Fraserburgh Beach Run
2009 - Results


JR at the Jedburgh half marathon in the gales

District relays
Alan Reid ran all four legs and finished 7th overall; he was 4th after the first leg.

Scottish 100k Championships

Alan Reid was third in this race around 42 lap course at the Inches in Perth ... he was the only runner to break 10 minutes for a lap and in fact did this for 11 of the first 16 laps so had a lead of 10min52 sec at 38k (lapping the second runner who eventually won).  He had been caught by 50k (3hr 43-17) so did well to complete the run.  Neil MacRitchie also complete the course running well at 50k (4hr 47-06) but was outside his 10hr 30min target by the finish (see results page)

Peterhead 10k race





Alan Reid won our 10k race and said he was bored because nobody came to challenge him ... a 100k race is in the plans so he had run over 100 miles already in the week so a little 6 miler would seem short!  The weather was hot (17^oC) with a light wind.  We had 94 runners with quite a few locals ... Ally was our first local.
Well done Duncan (wife & daughter) for all the organising, Peter & Elaine (& family) did great with all the food, and the Mundies with the time keeping.  Good to see John D with all the signs and Bruce the farmer helping the tidying up.
