Martin and Carla Green both won their respective veteran age categories at the Golden Ball 20-mile race on Sunday, which part of the Lancaster Races series of events.
Now competing for Meirionnydd RC, Martin was in fine form again, and he finished 5th overall and won his MV50 cat in a very good time of 1 hour 57 minutes and 54 seconds, with Carla, from North Wales Road Runners, also winning her FV50 age cat in 46th place, and she was the fourth female finisher in 2.30.21.
For Martin, this was his second race over the weekend after first competing for his club in the Mid Cheshire 5k race on Friday night, where he recorded another excellent time of just 16 minutes and 18 seconds.
After his 20-mile race on Sunday, Martin confirmed: “My biggest ever month (486 miles), and rounded off with a big weekend, with the Mid Cheshire 5k, followed by a quick trip up the M6 to Lancaster for the Golden Ball 20-mile, and just six weeks training to go before another go at the Abingdon Marathon. Great fun had at both meeting up with lots of running friends.”
