Reindeer herders all ran and sped in a frenzy (10)
I believe the answer is:
laplanders
'reindeer herders' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'all ran and sped in a frenzy' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'in a frenzy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'all'+'ran'+'sped'='allransped'
'allransped' with letters rearranged gives 'LAPLANDERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
