Sarah Swinhoe triumphs at Watford Half

There were some great race results over the weekend. The ever popular Watford Half Marathon at the weekend had a big Heathside turnout, with stand out results being 3rd man Andy Barnes and first woman Sarah Swinhoe! Also over the weekend was the Warwick Half, Chingford League 5 miles in Victoria Park, the NWLYAL on Hampstead Heath and the South of England Indoor Champs where 3 club records were broken. A few races have slipped through the net in the last couple of weeks (Fred Hughes 10, Farnborough Winter Half marathon, LFOTM, Regents Park 10K and 5K, Battersea Park 5K and Seville HM) so I’ve included these late results at the end.

SEAA Medals and return to form in the Met League

Lots of action this week with the Senior Women racing back to the top of the Met League standings after victory at Welwyn and go to the final race with all to play for. The Senior Men’s 3rd place means we are also well placed to retain the Howard Williams Trophy.

In the Southern Indoor Championships we had 3 medalists with Bronze in the U15B and U17M 60m Hurdles and Silver in the U17M 400m. Fantastic efforts from Gabriel, Montana, Sam and Malakai.

'Twas the week before Christmas

Unsurprisingly it was a very quiet week and weekend just before Christmas, the only Heathside race results I could find were for Chase the Moon, Battersea Park 5k, and of course the parkruns on Saturday 23rd and two days later on Christmas Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
