Four Heathsiders made their way to the culinary capital of Spain this weekend, in search of Pintxos and PBs - for the 42nd Edition of Zurich Maratón Internacional San Sebastián. San Sebastián has a reputation for being wet and wild at this time of year and you could see why on Saturday with ‘blustery’ conditions threatening to make Sunday hard work.

Marco Serena ran a PB in Amsterdam in 2:37:51 and Heathside’s women came 6th out of 45 teams in the Southern Cross-Country Relays, with Rebecca Piggott running the fastest (anchor) leg.

Read MoreThe most popular event of the fortnight for Heathside was the Middlesex 10K last Sunday, featuring 58 Heathsiders, numerous PBs, county medals and a few age category prizes. These were helped by the apparently ideal weather conditions reported by the organisers - “mild moderate wind, dry but wet ground”. First in for Heathside was Seyfu Jamaal, who finished in a swift 31:15 and an impressive 3rd in a quality field. Tom Aldred finished 12 seconds after that to finish 4th overall, followed by Andy Barnes. Martin Potter and Pete Crockford ran well to finish first in their age groups, with Pete awarded the county gold medal. Other county medals in the men’s race were awarded to Seyfu (bronze), Tom Aldred (gold, V40), Martin Potter (silver V50) and Gavin Evans (bronze V50).
