A group of club members took full advantage of good conditions at the Watford Open Graded Meeting on Wednesday evening. Six of the eight achieved PBs and Phil York clocked a season’s best over 800m. We don’t know the previous form of new member Sebastian Hanson, but he clocked a […]
Headline news this year is that nothing went wrong! Yes, all our runners turned up at the right place at the right time… and, just as importantly, ended up in the right place in about the right time too. Highlights included our A team’s fourth place, meaning £100 of the race […]
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… […]
ESM members and guests are invited to take part in the club’s annual Yacht Handicap – more info below – which takes place this year on Monday 2nd September. It’s free to enter and you don’t need to register in advance, but it’s helpful to let John know if you […]
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 […]

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 […]
