Introduction
The Oxford University Club
provides social and sports facilities for staff and postgraduate students
who do not have access to college facilities.
The running group usually meets Tuesday lunchtime and Thursday evening
each week throughout the year, starting from
the changing rooms at the back of the University Club
in Mansfield Road (map,
actually just to the right of the "L" in "MANSFIELD RD" -
the arrow on the map can be a bit random). Showers and lockers are
available, although the lockers require a pound coin as deposit for the key.
The number of
participants varies between 2 and 20 (see statistics)
and runs typically last 30-40 minutes,
with alternative routes to suit all abilities, typically spanning 6-10 minute
mile pace.
After the Thursday evening run we settle into the bar of the University Club
to set the world to rights.
The club
does not seek to poach members from proper local running clubs
and it is not affiliated to any athletics organisation.
The more enthusiastic members enter events such as those
listed below, but there are others who only ever turn
for the pub sessions.
However, be warned that some of the latter
category have unexpectedly found themselves pitched into the former
category (some,
but not all while under the influence of alcohol).
New runners are welcome to join us at any time, although those less confident
in their running abilities may prefer to wait for the special "newcomers"
sessions (usually the first Tuesday and Thursday of every month)
where we attempt to provide
escorts and 30 minute-routes whatever your speed.

Here is the unnecessarily, but satisfyingly, complicated scheme to
decide who picks the route each week:
- The 'Steering Committee' consists of a list of all those who have
completed more than 50% of the runs in the past 10 weeks
- The person at the top of the list shall be responsible for selecting the
route each week (or, in their absence, the next highest, and so on...)
- Whoever selects the route will then be placed at the bottom of the list,
below any new qualifiers for the SC

Jason Smith, 27Jan09
OK what's got 17 legs, more twist and turns than a twisty-turny thing, and
remains throughout like American beer (you know...)? Its the OUCH T'riffic
Thames Trot 2009!!
www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-kingdom/london/487977257921
Yes, after a clear mandate from El Presidente at the Non-Christmas Dinner, your
dedicated disorganiser has started concocting a plan. In summary, my suggestion
is to start on a Saturday lunchtime from Teddington, and get as far as Temple
Footbridge (Marker H - one past Cookham) on Saturday. This is 40.5 miles, and
we should comfortably be holed up in a nice Cookham pub with pie and chips by
about 7pm. On Sunday the remaining distance is 55.8 miles, which with a 10am
start should see us celebrating our triumph in the Head of the River at a
similar hour. Single legs of the relay vary between 0.5 and 8.2 miles - the
former is the final leg, designed for a 'mass finish'. Most are straightforward
to navigate, and very scenic! The idea is that people get to choose which legs
they do, and the more participants we have, the more choice there will be. Any
number of runners can do each leg, but the intention at least is that if
runners of different speeds are on the same leg they stick together to minimise
the chance of major f**k-ups. Changeover points are all car accessible - I
reckon we'll need two at least - mostly with nearby parking, and the occasional
conveniently placed watering hole.

OUCH finished 3rd/15 Men's Team Event.
Unfortunately we had only 3 women entered as part of the OUCH team,
and the team competition was based on the fastest 4.
If we'd had another woman team member entered, they would only have
had to run under 1h3m and OUCH would also
have finished 3rd in the Women's Team Event.

Bournemouth Quarter Marathon
We thought the race was 10k (given the advert we saw was for the Easter 10k),
but it turned out to be a quarter marathon (6.55 miles). The course was more or
less the second half of the Bournemouth half marathon, but in the rain and an
Easterly wind. More expensive than the half marathon, but pleasantly shorter

Dorney Dash 10k
www.datchet-dashers.com/dash/
It's basically 2 up-and-back laps of the new Dorney rowing lake. So you get
the benefits of it being perfectly flat, wide paths and no cars. It's a good
opportunity to do a fast time if you're feeling fit. It's a bit odd to run 2km
in a dead straight line though. And the black tarmac reflects the heat nicely
on a blistering hot day. It's well organised and you can use the rowing
clubhouse for changing, showers and refreshments - PD 2006.

Dorney Lake 10k (Cancer Research)

2006: More of a charity "event" than a race - they didn't even do any official
timing. Me - 44.37, Julie - 50.44. It was quite a big event, ~1500, and
crowded so you need to be near the front if you're after a fast time. Dead
flat - obviously! - PD
2007: Those are good times for us but
we think that is due to the course being distinctly short (6.05 miles on
our GPSs) rather than to athleticism on our part!- PD

Goring 10k
The course is "ok". The first few k is an upward climb out of the river
valley, then it's a few k on flat (and very exposed on a cold day!) countryside
before a few k back down again. It's a handy, local event and the roads are
well organised but changing is cramped, there's nowhere decent to leave a bag,
the showers were switched off, very long queues for the loos and nowhere to get
a hot drink which everyone was desperate for on a freezing day - PD 2008.

Otmoor Challenge
http://www.otmoor.co.uk
An informal event held in conjunction with the Horton-cum-Studley
village fete. Approximately half-marathon distance around Otmoor
with about half the distance on roads and the rest on tracks.
It was sunny and hot with not much escape to the shade. The rough ground
was hard and uneven - good ankle strengthening in the longest field in
the world (miles 8 and 9) followed by the longest hill in the world at
mile 10.
Nice route, but the longest "half-marathon" in the world, with good
cakes and tea and a very jolly fete afterwards. - V&J 2006

Silverstone 10k
Two laps of the Grand Prix circuit.
Part of the East Midlands
Grand Prix series of summer evening runs.
The circuit has more gradients than you might imagine, and the straights can
seem very long. It's an evening race in May (usu. 7.30pm kick-off), so
conditions often good - no midday heat nor night-time cool. Track seemed
less strewn with debris this year, with over 1,000 registered starters.
Changing takes place in the pits, and the race finishes in the pitlane -
unfortunately the start is not generated by the overhead lights, but a
traditional starting-pistol. Well organised by Silson Joggers AC. Probably
a 60-mile round trip from Oxford, but at least you can say "I raced at
Silverstone"... - CL 2003

Watlington 10k
This was a race of mainly vertical ascents and
descents, and strictly for masochists. I had to walk/crawl up the
verticals (Watlington Hill and Shirburn Hill), and slide down the
descents (ditto), posting a time of unbearable slowness. I hope to
be persuaded not to do it ever again, as I still have lactic acid in
the legs two days later - CL 2009

History
The running group can trace its
origins back to 1974 when a group from the
Atmospheric Physics Department
met weekly at Iffley Road cinder running track (where Roger Bannister
ran the first 4-minute mile) for some general fitness training.
Afterwards we used to have a drink in the local pub The Fir Tree
(re-named to The Old Ale House in 1999).
Over the years weight and circuit training became less popular with
the participants and, since the boom in the early 1980s, running
has become the sole activity (other than the post-training fluid replacement
therapy sessions).
The origins of the running group are difficult to define precisely. However,
the following records have been extracted from an old diary.
Wednesday 9th January 1974
John Pyle and Bob Wells ran the loop Botley-Cumnor-Farmoor-Botley.
Wednesday 23rd January 1974
Roger Hickman and Bob Wells went weight training at Iffley Road Gym.
Thursday 24th January 1974
John Pyle and Bob Wells ran the loop Botley-Wolvercote-St Giles-Botley.

Damn, I'll never be able to claim I was quicker than 1.49 ...
Looks good. Mind you, if i'd ever read that before I came running the
first time I would have been scared off ... it all sounds so serious. I'd
put more about the pub sessions right in the first sentence. And mention
the Angel in the first paragraph ... but then that shows my priorities.
