I've got some XML I'm trying to import with c#, which looks something like this:

<run>
    <name = "bob"/>
    <date = "1958"/>
</run>
<run> 
    <name = "alice"/>
    <date = "1969"/>
</run>

I load my xml using

XElement xDoc=XElement.Load(filename);

What I want to do is have a class for "run", under which I can store names and dates:

 public class RunDetails
{
    public RunDetails(XElement xDoc, XNamespace xmlns)
    {
        var query = from c in xDoc.Descendants(xmlns + "run").Descendants(xmlns + "name") select c;
        int i=0;
        foreach (XElement a in query)
        {
            this.name= new NameStr(a, xmlns); // a class for names
            Name.Add(this.name); //Name is a List<NameStr>
            i++;
        }
        // Here, i=2, but what I want is a new instance of the RunDetails class for each <run>
     }
  }

How can I set up my code to create a new instance of the RunDetails class for every < run>, and to only select the < name> and < date> inside a given < run>?
