Wirksworth’s David Brassington and Ruth Miller were running for us this weekend in the Robin Hood half marathon in Nottingham.  Both ran superbly, David clocking 1:32:58 and Ruth (pictured) ducked under 2 hours with 1:58:19.  Ruth was “well chuffed”!

David’s other half, Stef Brassington, had been in action at the Tissington trail half marathon on the Saturday.  Stef has been running really well lately, so after racking up a couple of parkrun victories, Stef was a bit disappointed that her hip flared up and she didn’t manage to put together the race she wanted – when you consider her 1:55:15 is still a time that many would love to achieve, it shows you just how far Stef has come with her running.  Child-free, John Potter ran on the Sunday and was very lucky that his stamina didn’t run out, as his 1:27:52 secured him 7th spot and an age-group win.
