✨EP Race Report 25/10/26✨

It was marathon time for two of the gang - Scott Houston and Stu Elsam where they both travelled to Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Scott has trained extremely well during the block and has made some excellent progress. The target was sub 3:30 which he narrowly missed with a time 3:31 but with a few more weeks of longer run work to build that fatigue resistance he will no doubt go well under this time in the future 👍🏻

Stu has had a disrupted build due to a few factors so this one was about enjoying the experience and ticking off another city marathon. Stu achieved this comfortably and enjoyed the weekend with a time of 4:51 👏🏻

It was the second round of the North Staffs XC League this time at Stafford. We once again had three athletes racing. Will Slater and Matt Harper were running for their club Newcastle Tri Club and Mick Hutchins for City of Stoke AC 🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♂️

Will is improving week by week where he recorded his fastest time on that course with a 26:31 👌🏻

Matt continues to use the XC races as strength builders where he had another solid run in a time of 31:15 🙌🏻

Mick improved on his performance from the first round at Betley with a stronger run in a time of 29:10 👏🏻

Paul Ford and Andy Foster traveled to Valencia for the Hyrox event 🇪🇸🕺🏻

Andy who has been making gains in his running had a super race coming home in 1hr 20mins ✊🏼

Paul has been with the group only a few weeks and is fairly new to competitive racing but showed signs of progress with a time of 2hrs 17mins - with a consistent approach some big gains to come for sure 💪🏻

Andy Firth was over at the Berlin Half Marathon helping a friend to a sub 1:30 👌🏻

This weekend saw Phil Land having his second hit out over the 10k distance. As many will know Phil is known for his excellent cycling time trialling but we have been including some running for a good few months now. The consistency is certainly paying off where Phil bettered his Manchester 10k time by around 90 secs at the Crewe 10k this morning with a time of 44:18 🔥

Well done team 👏🏻👏🏻

✨EP Race Report 11/10/26✨

As Autumn slowly starts to ‘bed in’ and races slowly close out a number of the group are still getting stuck in and producing some fine performances 👏🏻

Off the back of her amazing debut Ironman performance Hayley Green was wanting to use her fitness to ‘box off’ one of her bucket list races - the Potters Arf Marathon. She certainly showed her strength with PB’s few and far between on the renowned hilly course but not for Hayley as she produced her fastest HM time to date with a 1:34:40 😱
Will Slater was on pacing duties and a fine job he did using the run as a solid training effort and a chance to soak up the atmosphere - finishing in the exact same time as Hayley 👌🏻

Jon Parton took the short trip to Oulton Park Race Circuit for the Sprint Duathlon. Jon has put in some superb performances this season with yet another one at Oulton with a 1:14:47 finish time placing him 7th overall and 🥇in his AG 🔥

We always encourage our athletes to try new events and that’s exactly what Matt Harper did - taking on an 85km Gravel ride. Although he had a puncture which cost him some time he enjoyed the experience and got a fantastic training stimulus crossing the line in 3hrs 42mins 👏🏻

Charlotte M**f continues to make rapid progress which was put to the test at Hyrox Geneva where she competed with her partner Vic in the Open Doubles. Charlotte and Vic did amazing finishing in 1hr 08mins which was enough to give them their first podium finish in 🥉 position 👌🏻

We had three athletes at the Manchester Half Marathon 🏃🏻‍♂️

Andy Firth is no stranger to Half Marathons but after last years leap in performance at Barcelona we thought a PB was going to be tight but Andy paced it perfectly and took a further chunk off his time coming home in 1:17:38 💪🏻
It’s so good to see George Freeman build back to full fitness with another step forward with a 1:24:04 ✊🏼
Stu Elsam has been in full marathon mode as he builds for Amsterdam so wanted to use this more as a solid training run by practicing pacing, nutrition and race kit which he did crossing in 2:22:06 👌🏻

Well done everyone 👏🏻

✨EP Race Report 27/9/26✨

It was the weekend of the World Triathlon Champ held in Pontevedra, Spain 🇪🇸

We were very proud to have two of our athletes competing - Will Slater over the sprint distance and Stuart Nash over the standard distance 🙌🏻

First up was Will and what a performance he had in arguably one of the most stacked fields I’ve seen with 55 athletes competing in his AG 😱
Will executed his race excellently across the three disciplines to come home 22nd in his AG and 3rd Brit 🇬🇧 in a time of 1hr 11mins 👏🏻

Next up was Stu Nash 🙌🏻 Everything started brilliantly with one of his best swim and bikes but after some confusion over drafting Stu was hit with a DQ. He continued on to the finish and although he wasn’t given an official finish position his time of 2:42 would have placed him 15th overall and 3rd Brit one of his best positions racing at this level. Unfortunately thats racing. We learn from these things and go again 💪🏻

Jenni Armitt was part of a 24hr relay swim team at Alderford lake and we’re pleased to report they completed it and Jenni even commented on how much she enjoyed it 😊

It was the return of the Cross Country season where we had three of the group using the race just to have a hit out and help out their respective clubs ✊🏼

Hayley Green and Matt Harper were running for Newcastle Tri Club and Mick Hutchins for City of Stoke AC. They all stuck to the task and built in to the race nicely but kept things controlled after a big season of racing. Hayley ran 22:15 over the 4.8k course, Matt 36:18 and Mick 32:44 over the 8k distance 💪🏻

Knutsford is always a good 10k to have a go at and that was the case for James Griffiths who has put a recent block of volume in and wanted to the test the legs and apart from missing abit of 10k race specific speed he showed the strength is there with a solid 33:08 👌🏻

Similarly we had Scott Murray take on the Aintree 10k and although not as quick as Knutsford Scott was very close to breaking the 40min barrier with a 40:36 crossing which gave him 3rd in his AG 👌🏻 on a faster course the 40min barrier will be smashed next time out 💪🏻

Fantastic racing team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What an incredible 3 x days of performance testing at N-MAC Gym 🤝🏼✊🏼

A huge thank you to Gareth and Amy and all 16 athletes for the past 3 days of VO₂max and lactate testing! 🫁📊
It’s been fantastic working with you all, putting 16 athletes through their paces and gathering some valuable insights into their physiology, performance and how to train smarter 💪

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of an exciting collaboration between EndurancePeak and N-Mac Gym, with plenty more to come! 🤝

A huge shoutout to my sidekick who nails it every time 🙌🏻

Looking forward to building on this over the coming months! 🚀

As always using the best and most accurate testing kit on the market the Quark CPET from COSMED The Metabolic Company 👌🏻

EP Race Report 20/9/26

It was the return of the local Nantwich Sprint Triathlon 🏊🏼🚴🏼‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️We had three members of the group taking part 💪🏻
First to cross the line was Pat Hudson who has recently started to come in to form after his earlier injury setbacks. Although not his best time on that course, Pat still put together a very solid performance in time of 1:07 placing him 8th overall and 1st in AG 🥇.

Pat was then closely followed by Jon Parton who has made some big gains this summer with a superb time of 1:10 placing him 13th overall and also winning his AG 🥇

Scott Murray made up the trio of athletes and he certainly showed signs of some top performances to come. It was his first Tri for a while but is already making excellent progress with a finish time of 1:16 placing him 38th overall and 5th in his AG 👏🏻

George Freeman was back in action, this time at the Stafford 10k which is a tougher 10k course than most expect. George however had another solid performance crossing the line in 37:54 🙌🏻

Trev White was out supporting a friend during their challenge which included summiting Snowden and providing an excellent training stimulus for this time of year 👌🏻

Well done everyone 👏🏻👏🏻

EndurancePeak Race Report 13/9/26

A special mention has to go to Hayley Green. Hayley joined the group with her main focus being to complete an Ironman. Since she joined her commitment to training has been on another level. Like most Ironman performances it is never smooth sailing and Hayley certainly had to overcome her own battles with stomach cramps and sickness. Thankfully her determination came through where she produced a superb performance of 13hrs 56mins placing her 10th in her AG in arguably one of, if not the hardest Ironman course - Ironman Wales👌🏻👏🏻

Charlotte M**f took on her first ever Half Marathon at the York Half. Since joining the group Charlotte has made leaps in her training which was particularly evident with this performance smashing her target to cross the line in 1hr 45mins 👏🏻

James Griffiths was out representing his club - Vale Royal at the Northern Relays. On a tricky course and off a big mileage week the aim for James was to have a good sustained effort and that’s exactly what he did with a 17:03 clocking 👍🏻

George Freeman took on the Wolf Run 10k which is like a tough mudder event where he had an enjoyable run out as part of a team ✊🏼

Scott Houston is in full training for the Amsterdam Marathon in a few weeks time so decided to take the short trip to the Cheshire Half Marathon to have a solid race pace effort whilst getting some quality mileage banked. The signs are there that the shape is good with a fine 1hr 36mins which is well within his marathon target time of sub 3:30 👌🏻

As always, amazing effort everyone 👏🏻👏🏻

EP Race Report 6/9/26

‘It was the weekend of AG Wins 🥇’

Nick Holland and his wife Tracey had an interesting ‘date day’ by taking on the Race the sun event which is a 34 mile bike ride, 2 mile canoe and 10 mile hike up Skiddaw (brutal climb) 😱

I’m pleased to report they came 16th out of 108 teams in a time of 8 hours 56 minutes and are still happily married 😂

Steve Gannon was back in action, this time at the Bakewell Cycling Sportive which is 98 mile ride with over 9,700ft elevation 🤯 Steve had yet another fantastic ride coming home in 5hrs 51mins 👌🏻

Dale Emmerson travelled to Tenerife to race in the Hyrox Mens Doubles. Although Dale has been struggling with plantar fasciitis he got round in a solid time of 1:24 👏🏻

George Freeman had a busy week taking on the midweek Harper Scarper 5k where the course was muddier than expected but still ran very strongly crossing the line in 18:22. George then followed this up at the Alderford Sprint Triathlon which was his first tri of 2026 and off no swimming and limited biking had a super race producing a time of 1:24 which gave him 11th overall and 4th in his AG 💪🏻

Pat Hudson and Will Slater were also at Alderford but racing over the standard distance. It was so good to see Pat showing signs of what he’s capable of with a 2:27 placing him 15th overall and the win 🥇 in his AG 🙌🏻

Will is on fire lately and it was yet another superb performance crossing the line in 2:15 placing him 3rd 🥉overall and also giving him the AG win 🥇🔥

Stu Nash travelled to the Bala Standard Triathlon which was also the European Qualifier. Stu has made excellent progress particularly with his swim and bike which showed with a fine 2:36 finish time which should be enough to secure qualification for next year 🙌🏻

Well done everyone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

EP Race Report 30/08/26

‘A weekend of PB’s’ 🤩👌🏻👏🏻

Phil Land continues his excellent form with a late decision to race the North Shropshire Wheelers 25m TT which is on the same course as a couple of weeks ago. Having previously had an outstanding ride, he returned this weekend and shaved a further 5 secs off and finished 3rd overall in a time of 54:15 👏🏻

Here at EP we also help hybrid athletes improve their running and this has been the case for Dale Emmerson and Claire Stallburg who both raced recently. First up was Claire who raced in the World Corporate games where she made up a team of 4. It was great to hear that they raced well and were rewarded with a second place overall 👏🏻

Dale took on the Ultimate Athlete Liverpool as a mixed doubles and had a strong day out finishing in 44:49 💪🏻

It was the return of the super fast summer Mid Cheshire 5k where we had three determined athletes taking it on 🙌🏻

Mick Hutchins who has been in full Duathlon and cycling TT focus was a touch unsure of his all out 5k form but was thrilled to post a personal best time by 11 secs to cross the line in 17:25 🙌🏻

Will Slater is not only flying in his triathlons but also in his ‘out and out’ running too with a fantastic run and PB time 16:54 👌🏻

Andy Firth who has shown signs of a 5k PB after some recent testing delivered the goods to make it a hatrick of PBs for the EP gang with a fine 17:16 ✊🏼

Well done all of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
