A race on my list to run one day is the Coniston 14 which covers a beautiful route around Coniston water in the lake district. First place in the men’s competition went to Notts AC in a combined time of 3:56:56. Full results and team lists here. In the York 5k edition, the women ramped it up a notch with the top three all finishing in under 18 minutes. The men’s race was a tight one, with eight seconds separating the top three. The Midland Counties held their 12 and 6 Stage Road Relays at Sutton Coldfield. The squad was made up of Tom Graham-Marr, Alastair Marshall, Ben MacMillan, Hamish Hickey, Alistair Hay and Jamie Crowe. Full results to be added when we have them. Holding a previous best of 66:06, his time of 62:46 was a substantial upgrade. A high quality field had the FastRunning team watching the tracker for the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday morning. Coventry Godiva Harriers topped the women/s table in 2:16:50 with fastest long leg going to Katie Holt (City Of Stoke – 29:03) and it was brilliant to see Gemma Steel of Charnwood returning to racing to take the fastest short leg in 17:17. The winning women’s team was Hannah Anderson, Rebecca Johnson, Grace Pow and Holly Page. They finished in a combined time of 1:46:39. Looking at the fastest overall on the long and short legs, all the gongs belong to Central AC, Fastest on the short were Tom Graham-Marr (15:04) and Morag Millar (16:59). On the long it was Jamie Crowe (28:46) and clubmate Jennifer Wetton (34:35). In the run-up to the men’s race there was plenty of chat about the double-debut from the Mahamed brothers, but it was Kadar Omar who took the lead by 20k and held on for the win.
