Alison evaluated her Race and told us that “I ran 4:14:55 last night, it was a busy race and I think I didn’t really go off hard enough… I had enough left to go past a couple of people in the last 200m and recovered quickly afterwards…. I was a bit disappointed with the time but it was good race practice and not a bad start to the year”. This opening Race of the year for Alison puts here straight in a number 3 in the National Rankings, just two hundreths of a second off 2nd spot. A cracking start to the 2015.

Connor told the Club that he was “pleased to run a 50.7 indoors (knocking almost a second off my outdoor pb) today at the Birmingham games which bodes well for the outdoor season and for hurdling the target time of 53.8. It’s all looking rather promising so far”. Great running from Connor and undoubtedly more to come.
Joe Pearse’s 2.0m High Jump has him Nationally Ranked at Number 5 in the U20’s which is another great start for 2015.
