London Marathon 2010

Posted on 26/04/2010 by Simon

Wow what a day, surely the best set of results recorded by the club ever! 

Following a week of talk about Ash and hot temperatures, this years marathon was run in near perfect conditions and produced some outstanding performances. After trailing Jim for most of the race Marc in his first marathon led home the men in a debut time of 2:43:58, closely followed by Jim in 2:44:25 who now qualifies for a Championship start next year.

Simon came in next smashing his PB to record 3:03 and surely a sub 3 beckons in Berlin. After a difficult 2nd half after getting to half way at sub 3 pace, Craig followed closely clocking 3:04. Tom, after a difficult week stuck in Madrid (probably sunbathing), sneaked inside the Good For Age time in 3:14:11, well done sir.

Next in was Kate, leading home the ladies in an impressive 3:23:53 not quite beating Sophie’s time of last year tho…gutted!  But brilliant none the less.

Then a flurry of runners, Smalls, Ameet, Nicky, Theunis, Georgina and Mel W ran steady races to beat the 4hour mark, with Gillian just missing itwith a 4:05.  

Congratulations all rest up and recover well, Ted Peppers in a weeks time 🙂

Edit: Added in Paul who wasn’t down as Beckenham… tut tut.

Craig writes: John Morsley finishing in an incredible 3:10:33 (18 minutes of his PB at the age of 49!)
Paul Fletcher 3:35:00
Tim Aldred 3:50:09
Sergey Zelenov 4:06:57
Richard Greenland 4:37:53
