The Leeds Abbey Dash saw an impressive turnout and numerous PBs. Did you set one?  The home nations were well represented on the podium with Eilish McColgan (handicap -3.3), from Scotland, winning the women’s event in 32:05 from Emma Mitchell (handicap -0.7) of Northern Ireland who ran 32:51. Emma  set a national record too, which augurs well for the winter season.

The men’s winner was Sam Stabler (handicap -5.6) of England, in 29:13, from Paul Pollock (handicap -4.3), from Northern Ireland, in 29:20 and Ben Connor (handicap -5.8), from England, in third also with 29:20.

Did you race in one of these or any other event this weekend? By training and racing regularly your runbritain profile will maintain a healthy score and if you plan to peak for a target race, we hope you will improve it by a significant amount and make your way up the National Ladder. Don't forget that the National Ladder not only ranks you in the UK overall but by gender, age and postcode too.
