Gav racing to the line |
Grantham
Running Club was well represented at this year’s Folksworth 15, with members
using this hilly 15 mile race as the first in a series of essential
pre-marathon races. A long week of training with many members running in excess
of 40miles did not stop the fast times coming in. Manchester Marathon bound
Holly Durham was the first GRC lady, returning to excellent form only 8 months
after the birth of her 2nd child finishing as the 18th
lady overall in an speedy time of 1:51:47. A difficult race to pace, the
impressive times kept coming in with Catherine Payne finishing in 1:53:33, 4th
in her FV45 age category. Meanwhile, in the men’s race Andrew Pask continued
his Rotterdam Marathon preparations, finishing in 74th place
overall, first GRC runner with a time of 1:46:57. Brendon Buckley finished
6th in his age category as he builds his race fitness ready
for the London Marathon, his first at the age of 66 with a time of 2:51:45.
Next up for GRC’s marathon runners is the longer but equally hilly Stamford St
Valentines 30k (18.6 miles).
