As the ballot closes for London today, congratulations to everyone who completed the biggie.  There were plenty of stories to tell from seasoned pros to first timers.

A huge well done to David Green for smashing the three hour barrier with 2:48:07.

Beckie Hollowell made her debut with an amazing 3:43:08 as did Caroline Powell in 4:02:20.


Probably the most excited person of the day was Suzanne Baldwin finishing in 4:23:04.

Marathon Masters

"If you think you can or you think you can't, you're probably right!" A quote form the great Henry Ford...

Well if you think you can run a marathon then chances are you can and you will! 

Huge congratualtion to Charlotte Yarker for not only completing her first ever marathon in Paris at the weekend but she smashed the four hour barrier in 3:54:56.

Unfortunately the club banner has yet to be seen on the Eiffel Tower though...

At Brighton, Richard Wild ran a brilliant 3:47:53 and John Eales did 4:33:43. 

Three terrific achievements all round...more to follow next week...
