Tom Harrison's London Marathon 2019

Tom's been in touch to let us know he ran 5:14:21 at this year's London Marathon, that is 1min 37secs faster than last year, achieved on "almost no training and absolutely nothing over 10 miles."

Wow! Well done Tom from all MD clubmates.

And for those who don't know Tom, he's 82!

Llyn y Fan Race Results 2017 posted

Llyn y Fan Race results received from Sasha and posted here

By all accounts the river was "interesting", and Helen Brown ended up in the next county. Nothing new today then!

Photos from Sugar Loaf (Pantygelli) Race 2017

A Google Photos album here. I didn't quite catch all runners, and missed the first two on the return as the kids pinched the camera for a while!

A great result for Mynydd Du's Toby Pearson at Man v Horse

An excellent result for Toby Pearson, finishing 12th overall behind 6 horses and a relay team, so 5th individual runner overall in a time of 2:45:25.

Results here (incorrectly listing Toby as running for MDC!) https://www.resultsbase.net/event/3222/results

Advert for running style clinics

Martin contacted us with the following, and seemed genuine. I'd love it if he could sort out my achilles/calves/hamstrings and all the other bits that hurt when I runshuffle, but I just spent my last tenner on a nice cabernet sauvignon:

My name is Martin Owens I am a UKA qualified coach; I coach at the University of Birmingham and have been coaching running for 30 years. Recently I took early retirement and have decided to turn my passion into an extended career.

I would appreciate if you would pass on the following message to your club members offering them running style clinics via your social media or web site. 

Thank you

Martin
