Address: RUNNERS WORLD, 598 High Street, East Kew, Victoria (Melways 45 G4) Telephone: 03 9817 3503 Hours: Monday to Friday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Saturday: 9:00am to 3:00pm Website: http://www.runnersworld.com.au Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Runners-World/235649459888840 WALKER OF THE WEEK It might have been a very windy afternoon at Middle Park last Saturday but it did not faze VRWC walker Heather Carr who powered through to a time of 17:50 in our club 3km roadwalk. It was yet another W70 club record for Heather (after her 2km time of 11:42 last weekend) but it was more significant than that. To put this time into perspective, the World Masters W70 3000m track record of Swedish walker Britta Tibbling is 18:05 and the Australian W70 3000m track record of Gwen Steed is 19:09.2. I can hardly wait for the summer to come, so that Heather can start attacking the W70 track records. For the moment, I am sure she has her eyes on a few road times. We wait with bated breath. Heather in action at Middle Park on Saturday (photo Terry Swan) WHAT’S COMING UP • Next Saturday sees us back at Middle Park for our next round of VRWC winter season roadwalks. Relay entries closed last Saturday (I expect to see teams posted later the week).
