Despite the storm hitting the UK on Sunday, it was no match for our club member. It was another busy autumn day of racing, with members racing up and down the country and also aboard. First up we had the ever youthful Valerie Vernon who took part in the Duxford Dash 10K finishing in 1:11.26. Also taking part in a 10K was the beautiful trio of Amy Hutchinson, Heather Lindley and Victoria Patterson. They trio travelled to Scarborough to take on the Yorkshire Coast 10K and didn’t let the stormy weather stop them. Amy finished in 51:23, Heather in 58:13 and Victoria in 60:43.
Going up the distances we had Molly Hayes who made it a trio of personal bests in 3 weeks this time improving her 10 mile time with a 1:17:41. Jennifer Elsegood fresh off her club debut at Chatsworth stepped up to the half marathon distance by taking on the Castles Half Marathon in 1:44. This was the second quickest half marathon time by a female club runner from club.
Autumn marathon season is in full flow and we have several members doing marathons this weekend. Rachel Vernon and Garry Harding headed over the sea to go dutch by taking part in the Amsterdam Marathon. Rachel finished in 4:42:01 and Garry in 4:42:02. More locally we have a trio of runners taking on the Yorkshire Marathon. Narni Fulford smashed her PB and her 4 hour goal running in 3:51:30, Nick Wright ran 4:03:08 (even thought he kept it quiet from the club!!) and setting the clubs first F45 marathon record was 4:55:02.
To round of our weekly report we had 3 runners do parkrun on Saturday, David Napier ran 24:42 at Glossop, Andy Gosling ran 27:35 at Markeaton and Colin Mansell ran 25:49 at Millhouses
