Classic Running had 4 athletes in the Paddock Wood Half Marathon on the weekend and they produced 4 PB's. Pierre ran 76:59(PB by 4'45"), Tom 78:09(40"), Jamie 84:40(5'59"), Natalie 89:20(6'16"). Congratulations to all.

Great run by Leslie in the Seville marathon on the weekend. He posted a massive 28 minute PB clocking 2:55:31. A well deserved result after all the hard work he has put in.

Congratulations to Carmichael and Jamie for setting PB's in the Valencia marathon today.

That's a great finishing spot for the marathon. Here in Valencia hoping a couple of athletes will come away with PBs this weekend.

Always nice to get a testimonial from an athlete who has improved their PBs. Thank you Ian.

Testimonials – Classic Running Testimonials Ben Haines – November 2020 With a 2:51 marathon PB I had the goal of a sub 2:45 marathon. The challenge being my time is limited with a travelling job and young family so I have to get the most out of the training I do. I found reassurance with Wayne’s proven track record personally...

Great day for Classic Running athletes.
Ian clocked 34:39 knocking 50 seconds off his 10k PB, following on from his 21 second PB over 5k the week before when he ran 16:39.
Carmichael ran his first marathon after starting running less than two years ago and finished with a 2:50:28.
Jamie smashed his toe on a rock 6 weeks before today's Rotterdam Marathon, couldn't wear his Vaporlys but still managed a 2 minute PB with 3:15:51.
Tom did a 5k race in Trinidad & Tobago. He finished 3rd and won enough money to keep him in sun tan lotion for the next 10 years.

A great weekend for Classic Running athletes. Ville (20:49) and Jamie (19:37) both posted PB's in their Park Run on Saturday. The following day Susie knocked 1min 45 off her best half marathon finishing with 1:21:51 and 2nd female at Bideford. Meanwhile in Rome Luca smashed his PB by 2min 48 to clock 1:18:36.

Dave Jennings was my coach, he took me on as a Junior and I placed 269th in the 1980 English Junior Cross Country Championships. Move on four years and I ran 8:07.6 for 3000m. Later in my running career I ran 2:16:38 for the marathon and earned a few GB vests. I certainly wouldn't have done all that without David Jennings. Happy birthday Dave.

Marathon training pays off as Duncan smashes PB – Easy Runner Marathon training pays off as Duncan smashes PB Posted on 26/01/202226/01/2022 by Kevin Fahey TOP Weston AC veterans Susan Duncan and Kieron Summers have plenty to celebrate after both recording personal bests in the Speedwell 10k on Sunday. Duncan went into the race on the back of some heavy traini...

Speedway 10k is known as a fast course and it didn't disappoint the two Classic Running athletes who competed today. Susie Duncan knocked well over a minute from her PB with 37:42 and 4th V40. Georgia Holden clocked yet another PB with an impressive 35:26 and placed 12th female. Fabulous running from them both

When Georgia started with Classic Running in April her 10k PB was 38:12. She's now smashed her PB yet again with a 35:48 in Telford. And there is more to come.

If you want to know what it's like to win a marathon then ask Scott Newton who won the Milton Keynes marathon yesterday in 2:53:04. Well done Scott.

Another PB from a Classic Running athlete on the weekend. Chris posted a time of 1:26:11 on the hilly AVR Wiltshire Half Marathon placing 24th.

A superb run by Susie who posted a 5 mile PB of 30:41 in the Weston Prom, which is a 43 second improvement on her previous best.

Superb run from Georgia who finished second in the London Cross Country Championships at Parliament Hill.

Superb run from Georgia today in the Battersea Park 10km. 1st female and 9th overall, clocking 36:25 and knocking over 1 minute off her pb.

Fabulous running by Chris in the Newport marathon. It was his first attempt at the distance and was aiming for a sub 3, so 2:59:53 will do nicely.

🎉Congratulations to our 2nd place female winner Georgia Holden who finished the JCP Swansea Half Marathon in a fantastic time of 1:19:59 👏

Seven athletes from Classic Running lined up for the London Marathon today. 5 achieved personal bests, one was very close to his PB and one just didn't have the best of days.
Congratulations to all for giving it everything you had during the build up and on the day itself.

It's not just the men who have been setting PB's this year. Last weekend saw Georgia set an impressive time for the Chester half marathon clocking 82:25 for 4th place, that's a PB by 5 minutes!

A good article by my friend Dan Gordon who is Associate Professor of Cardorespiratory Exercise Physiology at Anglia Ruskin University.

How quickly do we become unfit? We lose some fitness 'gains' in as little as four weeks.

Following up on his 10k PB a few weeks ago Jamie has now improved his half marathon time by just over a minute. Now it’s time to plan and prepare for a big PB at the Manchester marathon in October.

As events return it is great to see Classic Running athletes running competitive races again after training alone through lockdown. Congratulations to Jamie, who today knocked 30 seconds off his 10km PB clocking 41:09 at Stratford.
