Report and results from the Edinburgh Marathon

Stuart Fox braved the Edinburgh heat (there's a phrase not heard every
day!) to finish 11th in the Scottish capital's marathon. Stu was unable to train for London throughout March and opted to switch marathons in order to complete the required training.

As temperatures hit upwards of 26 degrees celcius on the day, Stu faded somewhat in the second half finishing just four minutes outside his time from London 2008; a race run in near perfect conditions with far better preparation.

Locally, Michelle Pank completed the Egdon Easy 10k in a time of 43:50.

The club championship tables for 10k, 10 miles and Half Marathon have been updated although if your best performance in either distance is missing please let us know.

Ian White continued his road back to full fitness at the second Poole Runners summer series time trial at Upton House. Ian ran 20:18 for 8th while Simon Hunt, Graeme Miller and Simon Way were 20th - 22nd in times of 21:17, 21:18 and 21:19. Samantha Moxey was third junior female in 26:43 and her coach Robbie Boyd ran 28:56.

Mark Hargreaves ran 34:26 at the D-Day 10k in Portsmouth as he continues a comeback from injury.
