This week’s highlights include another club record for Adam Kirk-Smith and numerous successes at the Battersea Park 5k, the latest race in the club championship. This saw a stunning win by Olivier le Polain and over half of the 30 Heathsiders achieving PBs of up to 96 seconds.
Read MoreDespite being a relatively quiet weekend for racing, Heathsiders managed to produce some excellent performances in various events around the country and beyond. Of special note - Katie Curd came in first woman in her first marathon, and Manuel Yeboa, Sanaa Neunie, Kyerah Scott and Fabien Weston all gained first places in the Middlesex Young Athletes League.
Read MoreBit of a bumper report this week, partly due to a communications breakdown at Race Report HQ, so without further ado here’s a recap on two loads of hot mile action, adult and youth club records, some incredibly quick road racing PBs and a triumph at the Hillingdon duathlon:
Read MoreFor once no thunderstorms threatened the midsummer 5K handicap race around Highgate Wood. An impressive turnout of 87 runners completed the course in temperatures hovering around the 30°C mark. Despite the heat there were outstanding performances and PBs all round. Runners, marshals and general hangers-on fairly swamped the Wrestlers pub in Highgate later for the prize-giving and results.
Read MoreIt was a great weekend for Heathside in the Southern Athletics League, with victory in Luton leaving the club in with a shout of a second successive promotion. There was plenty going on elsewhere though, with intercounties track and field, another club record for AKS and the final fixture of the Vets League in Hemel Hempstead.
Read MoreHeathside’s track and field athletes travelled to Luton knowing that their fixture against Luton, Cambridge and Stevenage was going to be challenging as well as crucial, with each of those teams lying close to us in the league table.
Read MoreTwo brave Heathsiders, Andrew Shreeve and Sandra Marie, ventured south of the river to take part in the 2nd Dartford Midnight Marathon. Starting at 8pm, this was an 8-lap course round The Bridge Lakes of Dartford, with a special “I Beat the Midnight Marathon” tee for those finishing before midnight, an all-night tea wagon and no cut-off time (the last finisher came in in just under 6 hours).
Read MoreThere were relatively few races to report on this week, suggesting that the Brexit referendum had even influenced the running community. The highlights include Adam Kirk-Smith's run in Fast Friday, where he set the track record, Satu Hietanen’s record-breaking performance in Hyde Park and Jo Irwin’s dramatic come-back in the Herculean triathlon.
Read MoreAdam won gold for the steeplechase the Northern Ireland Championships with another fantastic run. His time was particularly impressive given a solo run (he won by a minute) in torrential rain.
