WEEK COMMENCING 19 JANUARY 2015

It was good to see people out running on the roads at the weekend, after the last few weeks being primarily Cross Country or Parkruns. The Canterbury 10 didn’t attract many of our top men or women, but nevertheless we had a good turnout of nine runners. Wilfredo Chillitupa was our first runner home, and Sue Beecham our first lady, finally getting a new 10 mile best, after setting PBs at most other distances over the last year.

Just three of our runners took part in the South of England Cross Country Championships on Saturday at Brighton. Mark Pywell was our first man, and Sally Dawodu-Talabi our sole woman.

Mark Champion was our fastest Parkrunner this weekend, racing at Tonbridge, where wife Lynne was the first female home. Mark Simmonds was our first finisher at Shorne, finishing just three places behind a certain Marcus Cram, son of the famous Steve.

Apart from the other Parkruns and the Cyclorun regulars, the only other result I could find was a great run by Joe Cumberland at the Hadleigh Legacy 10k, where he finished 5th of over 300 runners. The run takes place on the 2012 Olympic Games Mountain Bike Circuit, so it isn’t any easy run by any means.

Results:- Tonbridge Parkrun – Mark Champion 5th 19.00; Lynne Champion 10th 20.27; Steve Ball 11th 20.36; Sadie Forrest 66th 25.28; Barry Bell 69th 25.39; Joyce Bell 147th 30.26

Shorne Parkrun – Mark Simmonds 5th 20.33; Tim Bell 7th 20.59; Sue Beecham 32nd 24.11; Chris Warner 42nd 25.21; Vikki Hill 47th 26.07; Simon Hewitt 69th 28.26; Amanda Crowle 136th 43.30

Great Lines Parkrun – Stacy Harrison 185th 32.32

Forest Rec Parkrun – Jonathan Crowle 50th 23.52

South of England Cross Country, Mens Champs – Mark Pywell 710th 1.17.17; Darren Harger 782nd 1.22.50
