HARRIERS MARATHON
SUCCESS
Four months of hard
work came to a head on Sunday for a dozen Alnwick Harriers as they took
part in the Lochaber Marathon at Fort William, Scotland.
Since January, the
group has been training up to five times a week under the guidance of the
club’s coaches – with some runs reaching 22 miles in length.
Jon Patten, Simon
Cook, Andy Squires, Sarah Squires, Paul Jackson and Helen Patterson were
making their marathon debuts in the event and they were all proud to
achieve good finishing times.
Jon’s race went
exactly to plan as he coasted in to 16th place overall in the
field of 400 runners with a time of 2:57:13.
Both Danny Richardson
and Anne Allan achieved new personal bests; Danny was delighted to break
the 3 hour barrier for the first time with a PB of 2:59:05, and Anne
knocked almost 12 minutes off her previous best to finish strongly in
3:46:52.
John Cockburn picked
the event to make his marathon comeback in celebration of his 60th
birthday after an interval of 20 years.
