Having taken some time off to recover after the A100, Ultra Runner, Chris, sets about training for his next gruelling challenge. 

After a self-imposed 2 week break from running to recharge the mental and physical batteries after a hard season, Phil decided that this would be a good first race back to assess where he was after a couple of weeks out of training before heading into 2016. 

The Little Stretton to Stiperstones Villages Time Trial is a unique Shropshire event, where the idea is to travel on foot from Little Stretton to Stiperstones Village in the fastest time. 

Stu Robinson decided to take on the Conwy Half Marathon as a bit of a refresher race – after only 4 weeks from hitting nearly a sub 2:20 at the Frankfurt Marathon. 

​Stu returned to the fast course Frankfurt Marathon this year to try and attack and claim that elusive sub 2.20 time, which he’d been training long and hard for. 

Time for a rest after all this racing.well 

Set at Rockingham, Europe’s fastest Racing Circuit, this is an ideal setting for a PB or going for some end of season glory. 

This race was a little bit different to all the others Phil had done over the past few months. 

TORQ warmly welcomes Chris to the team and can’t wait to get him in the new 2016 team colours. 

This was a tough race, coming just 7 days after a hard run at the Great Eastern Run; the legs definitely weren’t at 100% and far from race ready, but a race is a race and you can’t go into these things without a positive ‘out to win’ attitude. 

As this was Paul’s Club Championship Race, he really did have an agenda to do well and win, and that’s exactly what he did. 

This year’s Great North Run was the first time that any TORQ athletes had entered this iconic race, with Stu Robinson and Paul Whittaker lining up with the likes of some other chap called Mo Farah?
