Unfortunately I was only there for a short time and hence missed out on plenty of carb loading and athletic preparation which continued into the early hours. Fun was had and hangovers were gleefully acquired. The GDH flag …

First up this week is a fantastic effort by Chris Jackson. His training has been paying dividends as he stormed around the Peris Horseshoe in 3:51:36… 2nd overall, with what must have been a pretty hard run finish as 3rd was not far behind him at all. Superb effort Chris, great to see that hard …
To kick off this week, a bit of Road Running reportage: a couple of Harriers represented at Salford 10k.
