Thirteen proved a lucky number for ESM at the Watford Open Meeting last Wednesday. That’s how many of our young middle distance runners competed in the 800m races, and nine of them produced a PB. Coach Graham French also put in a decent M60 performance! There was more good news for […]
Mel Newbery lowered her own 3000m steeplechase record by nearly two seconds at the Portland Track Festival in Oregon, finishing in 10:16.83. Well done Mel!

After our successful outing at last week’s Ealing Eagles 10k, a slightly smaller group of 11 set off to tackle the multi-terrain Stockley Park 10k. Steve Elson made a welcome return from an Achilles injury to take third place in the men’s race, while Mark Delahunty, also absent last week, […]
