As many Heathsiders are tapering now in preparation for the London Marathon this weekend, it was quietish on the race front, but some excellent results from the Manchester and Rochester Marathons and the Reading Half. There were four sub 3 hour results at Manchester and one at Rotterdam. There was also a 10K in Little Bromley, and some late results from the Thames Towpath 10, and the Folkestone 10 where Jackie and Martin both came first in their age groups, and Martin broke the V55 club record for the distance.
This week saw a mixture of events, the highlight being a big PB and high finish for Deng Akol at the Brighton Marathon. Elsewhere there were some good performances at the Paris Marathon, and in a couple of half marathons, plus diverse events ranging from 100m track to a 54mile Ultra
With Easter approaching this weeks report covers some late results from the previous week and some more road races. The highlight however is Rebecca Piggott setting a new Club Record in the 10 km of 35:44.
