Training from Tilsley Park on Monday 2 April and Wednesday 4 April : with all of the most regular trainers in Finland, I won’t make any definite plans. Please turn up with money for the track and also bright clothing for the road, and we will decide each session when we know who turns up.
Racing on the bank holiday weekend : there is none locally that I’m aware of.

International : It’s all hotting up on the international scene. After some good British performances at Lugano in Switzerland, Britain’s Dominic King on got an Olympic ‘B’ qualifying time in the 50k at Dudince in Slovakia last weekend. Leeds-based Brendan Boyce got an ‘A’ standard in the same race. And there’s another major international meeting this weekend, third weekend in a row, at Taicang in China. No British winners likely there though, how about in Finland . . . . ?
Here. Including a plea to support the Track & Field Inter-Counties 3000m at Bedford on 25 August – a move from its traditional end-of-May Bank Holiday date – or the walk may get taken out of the timetable for future events.
