Meanwhile, at the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Half Marathon, Callum Hawkins (handicap -5.9) knocked a huge 0.5 from his handicap score for being the first British finisher and running a tremendous personal best time time of 62:42. Gemma Steel (handicap -2.4) knocked 0.3 from her score for first British female with the super-fast time of 69:56 after a close run with Jo Pavey (handicap -1.3) who ran 69:58 and knocked 0.1 from her score.
Andrew Dalton (handicap 5.5) is currently leading this week's #clickyourclock competition after running the MBNA Chester Marathon in 3:03:52 and taking a whopping 1.8 from his score, which is a 10.13% improvement.
