Martin Green hit the track running at Trafford, near Manchester, in midweek, during a rare appearance in a 3,000m race. In a star-studded encounter of top club athletes, Martin eventually finished 14th overall with a new PB at this venue of 9 mins 41.9 seconds. 

After the race, the NWRRC member confirmed: “Trafford track meeting. My first track race in years and 21 seconds off the last one. Having another go in a fortnight so hopefully I can take some seconds off that. Totally different racing than on the road, straight into a raging inferno, and hold on for near death!”

Martin Green also confirmed on Thursday night that he received a special delivery today from the London Marathon organisers following his success on the road earlier this year.

He explained: “A nice surprise through the post, a bronze medal from @londonmarathon v45 age group. In two years, we will be going for a gold one!”
