There was plenty of Heathside action on the track, roads and trails over the past week. Top billing this time is shared by our U20 star Seyfu Jamaal who ran a fine 14:59 PB at the Highgate Harriers Autumn Open on Hampstead Heath on Wednesday evening, and Celine Bradley, who not only won the very hilly Dingle Marathon in Ireland on Sunday 8th, but shattered the record by 12 minutes and came third overall in an astonishing time for that course of 2:53:35.
Read MoreJulia Bijl held her nerve and obliterated her main rivals whilst putting the boys up front under some serious pressure to take a scinitllating overall Ladies' victory with a glorious PB to boot! Andrew Mcgeary was close behind taking 6th overall and 1st Vet, with Rachel Tranter taking 1st V50.
Read MoreAlex was happy to win his heat and run a PB in the 1500m in his new high tech shoes. There was also another good run and fast time from Rosa, though not quite as fast as her recent club record, and a PB for Fabio

Read MoreSeyfu breezed in to first place at the Hasty Hare 5K at Battersea last Monday 5th August, making it look effortless – in a time of 15.04, Rob Shulman was first in in the Windsor towpath 48 mile ultra –looking very fresh at the finish! And Tony Killilea achieved his first gold medal in the Steeplechase at the British Masters in Birmingham. Elsewhere there were some good results at the Watford Graded open but otherwise pretty quiet this mid August weekend.
Read MoreStarting off with a look at the shorter distances, Danny O’Reilly ran a fantastic 16:25 in the penultimate Battersea Park summer 5k series on Monday 29th, while the end of the week saw the SOAR Mile event at the community track by the Olympic Park. 5 Heathsiders were in attendance, with PBs for Esti Guijarro Puente (5:45.92) and Tom Bedwell, who ducked under 5 minutes with a superb run (4:53.03).
Read MoreThe past 10 days saw several Heathsiders smashing club records and running big PBs on the track and the road. Perhaps the outstanding results were Thomas Archer’s 8:38 in the 3000, a new club U17 record, and Rosa Serafini’s 4:29 1500, also a club record, both at the Watford Graded Open. Others included Seyfu Jamaal’s 31:04 PB in the Asics London 10k, Sion Lewis’s 16:11 5000m PB in Milton Keynes, Izaiah Turner’s 34.87 javelin PB in Allianz Park and Tynan Parkers U13 800 m 2:24 PB in Kingston.
Read MoreAnother afternoon of fantastic athletics rounded off the MYAL league on Sunday with a great turnout of Juniors. The format of the last session was changed to feature just relays on the track. A great opportunity for more athletes to take part but it had proven a massive organisational challenge to Team Managers Mary, Ruth and Rachel as the meeting also comes at the beginning of the school holidays.
Read MoreLenny, one of our resident ultra running experts, led a team of 6 Heathsiders out to Switzerland to take part in this incredible, beautiful, scenic, gruelling “race” (more like Epic Struggle!) and they all performed brilliantly with Lenny opting for the extreme 101K distance whilst the others were slightly more sensible taking on the 51K distance. This terrain is not for the faint hearted when it comes to navigating across it, however the views will take your breath away.
Read MoreOver 30+ Heathsiders enjoyed a summer day in Kent for the penultimate SAL fixture in Ashford on Saturday 13 July, where we faced top of the table Eastbourne, host club Ashford and Cambridge & Coleridge.
