Amazing October achievements!

• David Gillett marathon PB

• Dave Tyler 10k PB

• Stuart Erskine 10k PB

Club members have been all over the country this weekend. Starting off with longer distances.

Up in Chester, Dave Gillett managed to run a 2:46:56 time, shaving 7 1/2 minutes off his PB! Not only that he came in 25th place (out of 3082 runners) and third in his vet 40 age category. An excellent achievement. 

Whilst moving south down in Bournemouth, Carolyn Lewis and Phil Maull completed the 26.2 miles in under 5 hours coming in at 4:55:18 and 4:57:34 respectively. 

Heading over to Cardiff, Vicky Scott took part in their half marathon achieving a time of 1:56:16. 

The most well attended event this weekend was the famous Givaudan 10k race in Ashford. The weather was looking atrocious first thing with heavy rain and wind, however things did brighten up for the race and apparent the condions were ‘perfect’ according to runner Andy Smith. This reflected so in some amazing running and personal bests. Results shown below.
