The Scottish National Open at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, on 21 Jan, witnessed the annual appearance of Martin Lipton at 800m!  Better known as an excellent 400m Hurdler, he runs an 800m indoors most winters.  This time he ran a PB of 1:58.34secs.  Let's hope that hints at further PBs this summer.

 

Anyika Onuora ran at Mondeville, France, on 4 Feb, recording 7.57secs for 60m.  The other Brit in the race, Laura Turner, was quite a bit faster (7.29secs).

 

The Alsager 5 Miles, on 5 Feb, was very popular, despite adverse weather, with 561 finishers!  Among them were James Riley (29th, 26:04), Maria Barrett (66th, 6th Lady, 29:05), Martin Bateman (81st, 30:00 PB), Sion Wynne-Williams (87th, 30:19 PB), Jenny Pybis (90th, 8th Lady, 30:23), Gareth Howell (93rd, 30:32 PB), and Laura Stanley (197th, 24th Lady, 35:15).  Our Ladies were easy winners of their team competition.
