As John (our resident handicapper) always says: the only sure thing about the handicaps is that they will be proved wrong. It’s true that he fell slightly short of the intended aim – a blanket finish – but there was yet again shameless heckling on the start line last night… […]
Congratulations to Pete Flewitt, who won this year’s BBC 10K in Regent’s Park in a time of 36:40. (Not his fastest time, he concedes, but he had just completed the RideLondon 100 mile route two days earlier in just outside 5 hours!) Full results of the 10K race here. Pete and former […]
With good coverage of almost all events, we finished a respectable second in our last SAL match of the season. It was a dry day with intermittent sun, but the breeze made it chilly on occasion, and PBs were few and far between. However, we competed well and won eighteen […]
Jon Ellis finished fourth in the gruelling Swissalpine Marathon 78K race on Saturday, in a time of 6:47:50. Jon has already tasted success in ultra races here in the UK, winning both the South Downs Way 50 and the North Downs Way 50 earlier this year, but it was his […]
As Cath put it: “It was all about the men today!” Just seven hardy men and no women (apart from volunteers Lynn, Cath and myself) turned up for this championship race, writes Fiona Kennedy. Was it the clash with the Wedding Day 7k… was it the weather… was it holiday […]
Our Ealing St Mary’s composite team sent a reduced squad to Abingdon for the final YDL match last Sunday. Holidays and injuries took their toll on the team, which led to us finishing third out of the five competing teams at the match. The strong Guildford team won this match […]
Fifteen runners turned out on a muggy July evening for the second and final 5k club championship race, writes Philip Prince. The event was well marshalled by an ample supply of volunteers and unusually had two lead bikes – Andy and Cath. Santosh finished first overall and Carol was first […]
The final match of the season was held at Allianz Park on Saturday 15th July, writes Bridie Lebdiri. With school holidays having already started for some, along with the odd illness, ESM went with a rather depleted team. Nevertheless, we ended the day in third position in the match, and […]
Congratulations to Bill Lonsdale, who triple jumped 9.23m at the Eastern Vets Championships in Southend yesterday. Bill had already claimed the Scottish M65 record at their National Masters Championships at the beginning of the month, and improved that mark by 22cm.
He’s been knocking at the door of the club 5000m record all season but now Jamie Taylor-Caldwell has done it. His 14:21.23 at the BMC Grand Prix at Loughborough on July 8th shaved 0.27 seconds off Peter Barratt’s time of 14:21.5 dating from 1984. Congratulations Jamie. The picture shows Jamie […]
