Highway racing round-up from across the UK in current days
FARNBOROUGH HALF-MARATHON, Surrey, February 9
Adam Clarke, who gained the Manchester Marathon final 12 months in 2:16:29, races sparingly however added the Brighton 10km in November in 29:47 and right here posted a routing win after breaking away from Max Milarvie, in 63:46, as prime veteran Kevin Quinn ran 66:54 in third spot.
The ladies’s race was gained by Ellie Monks in 75:56, a time that will have ranked fourth on the 2024 W40 age group listings.
Additionally having an affect on the rating lists was Studying Highway Runners’ Sarah Gee, who went third on the all-time W60 tables with an 86:36 effort and this after the two-time London Marathon W45 age group winner returned to the game after 14 years away.
Gee stated: “I began cautiously because it was my first Half-marathon in a few years and I used to be a little bit nervous concerning the final 3 miles. However, as I warmed up, I used to be in a position to choose up the tempo and maintain roughly a 4min/ km tempo but it surely does take me a number of miles to loosen up.”
Additionally in kind, among the many older runners, was W70 rankings topper Dot Kesterton who raced to 1:45:05.
