The Aldershot, Farnham & District runner carved 26 seconds off her personal best with a time of 15mins 23.4secs as she and Freya Murray served up a grand finale to the final Grand Prix race of the summer. Somewhat appropriately Purdue‟s time clipped five seconds off the previous record held by her clubmate and training partner Steph Twell (15:28.99) and was also quicker than Mara Yamauchi‟s BMC open (non-members) record of 15:28.6. Murray also broke her personal best of 15:31.17 with 15:26.5 and there were also PBs for third-placed Sonia Samuels (15:53.1), Naomi Taschimowtitz in fifth (16:10.3), Louise Perrio in seventh (16:40.7) and ninth-placed Leigh Lattimore (17:24.6). But it was Purdue and Murray who took centre stage in what could be an intriguing appetiser for when the two women meet again on the track in Delhi – though the Kenyans might ruin that dream one-two - when they will represent England and Scotland respectively in the 10,000m. “I think we really helped each other,” said Purdue. “The plan was to go earlier but I felt a bit heavy-legged in the middle of the race so waited until two laps to go. I felt really strong on that last lap and I‟m delighted to run a big PB like that and it is also nice to get under the qualifying time for the Commonwealth Games (15:25.00) even though it is too late for selection. Anyway, I think I prefer the 10,000m!” Both Purdue and Murray are fearless, aggressive competitors and while they were happy to follow the early pacemaking of Tina Brown through 2k in 6mins 08.5secs once the Coventry runner dropped out at the halfway mark they had no hesitation of maintaining the tempo. Murray was at the front but Purdue stayed just a step behind until she took the lead with two laps remaining. The Scottish runner dug in but at the bell Purdue kicked again and gradually the gap opened with the Mick Woods‟ coached athlete flying around the last lap in just under 70 seconds for a tremendous victory. “It is great to see Charlotte back in form after her injury problems,” said Murray generously. “Obviously I am disappointed not to win but at least I also got something out of the race with a personal best and that is encouraging looking ahead to the Commonwealth Games. I‟m looking forward to racing Charlie again in Delhi.”. If Purdue and Murray served up the best quality race of the night then there was no doubt that Danielle Christmas and Charlotte Best laid on the tightest finish. Both women were awarded the same time of 2:03.9 in the 800m A race but Best was given the verdict. “It has been a tough year for me with a lot of niggling injuries and my confidence has been low so it is nice to win this,” said 25-year-old Best. “I could do with the prize money.”. Christmas bravely took on the pace and seemed to have resisted Best‟s challenge in a desperate duel down the home straight. “At the start of the season I would never have imagined that I could have front-run an 800m in 2:03,” said Christmas. “I would have liked to have a run a bit faster but with six personal bests this summer I can‟t be too hard on myself.”. Asked to describe her last couple of weeks Laura Weightman summed it up succinctly. “It has been amazing!” In successive races the 19-year-old has set three personal bests, two over 1500m in the Aviva London Grand Prix (4:12.95) and then 4:09.60 in the Tartan Games last weekend while last Tuesday she clocked 2:03.18 for 800m in the Trafford Grand Prix. It was always asking a lot for Weightman to keep that run going but her win last night was again impressive and her time of 4:12.82 was her second fastest ever. “I am very happy with this season and after the World Juniors breaking 4mins 10secs was especially enjoyable,” added Weightman. Cardiff athlete Joe Thomas gave the home crowd something to cheer when he won the battle for domestic honours in the 800m, beating fellow Commonwealth Games team-mate Gareth Warburton. The 22-year-old former England Under 23 champion ran a tactically sound race to hold off the faster-finishing Warburton, who found himself trapped on the bend and forced to check to come out wide. It was a mistake he won‟t want to repeat in Delhi. “It was a solid race for me and I‟m pleased with how it went because that‟s the sort of race you get in championship heats,” said Thomas. In the 1500m victory went to the unheralded Bristol & West AC runner Steve Mitchell as he stole a march on his rivals by surging clear at the bell. “It is Steve‟s first big win of the season so he is delighted,” said coach Keith Brackstone. Johnny Hay chased hard and the 18- year-old was rewarded with a PB of 3:46.02 with 17-year-old Stroud & District AC runner Tom Curr also clocking a PB of 3:48.34 in fifth. Running the last 600m on his own and way out in front Tom Humphreys clocked a season‟s best of 3:51.90 to win the B race with PBs for the next three runners. There was also a season‟s best of 4;25.85 for 16-year-old Melissa Courtney in winning the 1500m B race with a further two more SBs and five PBs behind her. The men‟s 5000m was most notable for Hay‟s PB of 14:23.06 in fourth after a startling last kilometre. “I started off steadily as my legs were full of lactate after the 1500m earlier but by the finish I felt good,” added Hay. He explained he was keen to post an official 5000m time after his 14:10 at Stretford was ruled out when that race was started by a klaxon rather than a gun. But it was the B race that stood out with Owain Jones‟ sterling pacemaking job helping ten of the twelve runners to run PBs, including Annadale winner Eddie McGinley, whose previous „PB‟ also fell foul of the Streford klaxon. The steeplechase may have attracted only a handful of runners but they also provided some keenly contested races with PB victories for 20-year-olds Ben Nagy after a great contest with Tom Doe in the men‟s and Laura Parker in the women‟s as she beat Emma Raven for the first time.

  • ERRA MENS'6 STAGE & WOMENS' 4 STAGE RELAY STATS at SUTTON PARK Compiled and Updated by Martin Duff from His Complete
    ERRA MENS’6 STAGE & WOMENS’ 4 STAGE RELAY STATS AT SUTTON PARK Compiled and updated by Martin Duff from his complete collection of Athletics Weekly The men’s six-stage championships rotated around the regions before finding its permanent home at Sutton Park in 1995. Since 2001, the lap distance has been fixed at 5,847 metres and Newham & Essex Beagles’ winning 2009 time of 1:43:14 is the current best. Chris Davies must be considered the men’s course specialist with not only the current fastest at 16:25 but with two more times in the top seven. The women’s race too moved around before settling at Sutton Park somewhat earlier, in 1990, initially over three stages before switching to four in 1994. Originally it used a 4.35km loop before the present 4,315 metres lap was adopted in 1999. The winning Aldershot, Farnham & District time of 56:42 in 2013 is the course best. Whilst Steph Twell’s 2007 time of 13:41 is the official best over the present loop, Paula Radcliffe’s 13:26 over the slightly longer 4.35km lap in 1993 has to be considered the record. Due to the presence of the virus E’Coli in Sutton Park, the 2012 championship was held at Clumber Park but used shorter than normal stages. Men winners at Sutton Park Year Winning Club Time Second Time Third Time 6x6km 1995 Bingley 1:45:20 Salford 1:46:05 Tipton 1:46:32 6x3.7M 1996 Bingley 1:40:39 Salford 1:42:08 Birchfield 1:42:21 1997 Birchfield 1:40:36 London Irish 1:41:47 Bingley 1:41:50 1998 Birchfield 1:44:16 Salford 1:44:45 Tipton 1:44:56 1999 Cardiff 1:42:46 Tipton 1:43;26 Birchfield

  • Gcrs Over 65S Excel at the London Marathon & Stuart Whitford
    Garden City Runners News Release 28 April 2019 GCRs over 65s excel at the London Marathon & Stuart Whitford Triumphs + David Heal gets a Double Dose of Distance Rob Casserley on his way to another sub three hour marathon London Marathon The 39th London Marathon had a score of Garden City Runners tackle the iconic course. Conditions were very good: fairly cool, overcast and not too windy, although the last vestiges of storm Hannah gave the occasional gust from the northwest. NEIL HUME romped home to time exactly 2 hours 40 minutes placing 421st out of the 40,000+ finishers. Next GCR was SIMON BOSTOCK, who beat his target of 2:5 with 2:51:48. That was helped by a swift last 5km and lightweight Vaporfly shoes. PAUL RICHARDSON 2:54:25 and ROBERT CASSERLEY 2:57:34 also beat three hours with all of the above athletes pacing the race well. In the over 50 category SEAN BOWEN timed 3:01:06 paying for a relatively fast start and RICHARD SOMERSET set a new PB by 18 minutes with 3:07:07 which was better than his target time of 3:15. Somerset was going well up until 18 miles when his quads became painful causing a slowdown so he had to dig in with gritted teeth. LAURA COWLEY was the first GCR woman home in 3:19:36 doing a negative split being the 616th female. REBECCA BARDEN in her 7th London ran 3:36:41and Katy Healy did a very evenly paced 3:48:49. DENYS BAUDRY was well up in the over 65 category with 3:25:29 good for 9th.That was his 28th marathon of the year and he notes.

  • Great South Run History
    Great South Run History The Great South Run is Europe’s most popular 10 mile race and started life in Southampton back in 1990 before moving just a few miles along the M27 motorway to the neighbouring city of Portsmouth 12 months later. The fast and flat 10 mile route takes in the iconic sites of the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard including Portsmouth Cathedral, Spinnaker Tower and the HMS Victory- which plays host to the HM Band of Royal Marines, who perform for passing runners. The final flat stretch along the sea front has given thousands of people the opportunity to get a personal best time for more than twenty years. Every year the event attracts a plethora of athletes, celebrities and runners raising money for good causes, with over £30 million having been raised for charity over the years. The Great South Run has grown into a great weekend of running in the popular seaside location, along with the Junior & Mini Great South Run and the introduction of the Great South Run 5k in 2011. Dutchman Marti ten Kate was the winner of the inaugural 10-mile event in 47 minutes 52 seconds while Alison Gooderham, who surprised herself with a fast clocking of 56min 09sec, was the women’s winner. The Diet Coke Great South Run (as it was then known), relocated to the present course in 1991. Prison officer Thomas Naali from Tanzania escaped from the field to take first place while Olga Bondarenko, the reigning Olympic 10000m champion from Russia, clinched a star-studded women's race.
