Rob Warner had 23 athletes in his 3000m race won by Will Fuller (Loughborough) in 8.13.26. Rob had a very good run to come across the line in 6th position clocking 8.18.50 and commented after the race that he was “quite pleased with the race, ended up being quite slow through the first 1km as no one really wanted to go with the pacemaker! Ended up only 2 seconds outside of my PB after going through 1km in 2:54 so I’m confident of getting close to 8:10 with a more even pace! Always a great race to be a part of and happy to be competitive in it”.
