Times for one on this recent run (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsprint

'times for one on this' is the definition.
(The Times newspaper is printed on newsprint)

'recent run' is the wordplay.
'recent' becomes 'new' (similar in meaning).
'run' becomes 'sprint' (sprint is a kind of run).
'new'+'sprint'='NEWSPRINT'

(Other definitions for newsprint that I've seen before include "needed for the papers" , "Low-quality paper" , "Kind of paper this is produced on" , "FT for example" , "sports pages and much else" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
