Therme Manchester Marathon, April 3

Becky Briggs enjoyed a huge breakthrough as she took five minutes off her PB with 2:29:04, while Jonny Mellor was close to his lifetime best with a commanding men’s win in 2:10:46 .

In ideal conditions for marathon running, Briggs and Mellor both smashed the England qualifying standard for the Commonwealth Games of 2:14:00 plus the European Championships mark of 2:14:30 on a day of brilliant racing.

A total of 20 Brits broke the 2:20 barrier with Mellor’s training partner Ross Millington clocking 2:11:38 in his debut marathon in second place, as Kevin Seaward of Northern Ireland was third in 2:11:54.

Behind Briggs, Naomi Mitchell was runner-up in a PB of 2:30:54 while Georgina Schwiening was third in 2:31:37 and Sonia Samuels, 42, fourth in 2:32:32.

All of them were well inside the 2:34:00 women’s qualifying standard for the Commonwealth Games. Although in addition to places in the England team for Birmingham in July and GB team for Munich in August, the race was also a trial for the GB team for the IAU 50km European Championships in Avila, Spain, in October.

In a race packed with top-class performances, the super-vet Tommy Hughes clocked a phenomenal 2:30:05 aged 62, although it is not quite as quick as his M60 record of 2:30:02 set two years ago.

Defending champion Matt Crehan enjoyed an early lead in the race but he was caught before halfway – which the leaders reached in 66:05 – and Mellor, who had been helped by pacemakers such as Ben Connor, Omar Ahmed and Charlie Hulson, made a strong move just after 20 miles to break away from his rivals.

Mellor and Millington are both members of Team New Balance Manchester and are coached by Steve Vernon. Millington ran for Britain over 10,000m at the Rio Olympics but Mellor has endured bad luck with major championships qualification, being overlooked by England in the run-up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games and then being forced to miss last year’s Olympic marathon trial due to a freak leg injury caused, he thinks, by compression socks during his sleep.

Briggs only turned 22 last month but looks ideally suited to the marathon. Just three years ago she was the third British athlete in the under-20 race at the World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus but ran 2:38:58 on her marathon debut in the Olympic trial last year and then 2:34:34 in London last October.

Here she went through halfway in 74:16, then overhauled long-time leader Mitchell with about 10km to go and finished strongly to smash the 2:30 barrier and to go No.20 on the UK all-time rankings.

“I can’t believe it as I didn’t feel great before the marathon,” said a tearful Briggs, who runs for the City of Hull. “I’ve beaten the qualifying times! It was great conditions and it’s a great race.”

While Hughes missed out on a record time in the men he did set a world age 62 best by ten minutes – the previous best was John Gilmour’s 40 year old mark of 2:41:07 but there was a women’s age group record.

For much of the race it looked as if Sue McDonald was going to improve on her UK W50 record set in London last year of 2:51:27.

She was well ahead of target at 10km in 39:05 and at halfway in 1:24:06. At this stage fellow W50 Zelah Morrell was behind but closing after a 40:09 opening 5km and 1:24:45 halfway time.

By 30km, Morrell (2:01:01) had passed McDonald (2:01:27) and carrying on at virtually the same pace she just missed breaking the 2:50 barrier with 2:50:02 which took 85 seconds off of McDonald’s record.

McDonald, who joins the W55 age group later this year, ran 2:53:56.

SELF TRANSCENDENCE 100km (Inc UKA NATIONAL 100km CHAMPIONSHIPS AND ACP), Perth, April 3

In near perfect conditions in Perth, the Sri Chinmoy 100km race, which incorporated the British and Scottish 100km Championship together with the annual Anglo Celtic Plate Home Countries International, saw victories by England’s Matt Dickinson and Scotland’s Jo Murphy, Adrian Stott reports.

In one of the most competitive 100km races ever seen in Britain on Sunday seven men broke the magical seven-hour barrier and three women the magical eight-hour barrier with a string of personal bests throughout the field.

Running his first 100km road race, Dickinson was content to sit in the pack in the early stages. At 50km, which was reached in around 3hr 18min, no less than two minutes separated the top 12 men. Approaching the 40 miles mark, as some slowed or faltered, the Clapham Chaser maintained a steady pace to ease into the lead and achieve almost even 50km splits to win in 6:39:34 breaking Charlie Harpur’s 2019 course record by almost four minutes.

Behind him England’s Ollie Garrod and the two Scots from Metro Aberdeen – Jason Kelly and Chris Richardson looked strong along with Northern Ireland’s Gareth King.

Kelly finished second in 6:42:23 with Garrod third in 6:46:50 and King fourth in an all-Ireland record of 6:47:33 .

Former women’s champion Sam Amend and her English team-mate Caroline Turner led through 50km in 3:46 with Murphy running at her own pace a few minutes further back in 3:52:29.

Murphy, the winner in Ireland last August, was to prove the stronger again, showing incredible pace judgement to run a negative split coming home in 7:41:12 – a PB by almost 10 minutes and obliterating the long held course record of 8:00:30 set by former GB international Emily Gelder in 2011.

Amend took second in 7:48:39 PB with Turner in her first 100km placing third in 7:51:39.

The Norman Wilson Trophies for the best newcomers were taken by Dickinson and Turner.

RUN THROUGH RUNNING GRAND PRIX, Goodwood, April 3

Following his 2:35:03 solo run in the February running of this event and victory in the Hastings half-marathon two weeks ago, James Baker was back for another go and it resulted in lifetime win number 990, Martin Duff reports.

After what be described as “four months of solid training averaging 75 miles a week,” the 45-year-old knocked nearly four minutes from his previous best set way back in 2012.

He said: “I had a great run today. There were good conditions around the 11 laps of the motor circuit and I set off at a strong pace aiming to break 2:30.”

Baker was always ahead of that schedule and was through 20 miles in 1:50.26. He added: “I kept it going to cross the line in 2:26:38, breaking my PB set 10 years ago at the Brighton Marathon. My winning margin was just over 17 minutes.”

His laps were 13:14, 12:58, 13:01, 13:15, 13:10, 13:14, 13:07, 13:10, 13:07, 13:15 and 13:26.

Fellow M45 Oliver Cobb ran 2:43:44 in second spot in his debut marathon, while Myuki Okubo took the women’s race in 3:13;43.

Elsewhere, Annabel Stearns went third on the W50 lists for the year when winning the women’s 20-mile race in 2:20:01, as veteran Dan Morgan took the half-marathon in 76:22 and Rebecca Pearson the women’s 13.1-mile race in 87:31.
