Our middle distance runners were out in force at the BMC at Trafford on Saturday.
In the 1500’s, Sam Knee-Robinson ran a PB of 3:51.04, whilst Sam Winters ran his second fastest time ever, recording 3:46.89. Ed Blythman was very unfortunate to be badly baulked with 150 to go, but still held on for a creditable time of 3:49.08.
In the 800, Alfie Yabsley, ran 1:55.43, after also running 1:55.56 in midweek at Loughborough.
In the 5000’s, Ben Alcock was very close to breaking 14 minutes again, with 14:00.43, and Ben Davies ran a very solid 14:32.36 in his first track 5000 for many years.
Joe Strange recorded 2:00.46 in finishing second in his race at Loughborough in midweek, but, perhaps more notably, when Joe ran 1:59.09 at Nuneaton in July, this constituted his 12th consecutive year of recording a sub 2 minute 800 – quite an achievement.
