With distance runners focused mainly on the English National Cross Country Champs, many others still took to the roads over the weekend
CANCER RESEARCH LONDON WINTER RUN 10km, Trafalgar Square, March 23
Kristian Jones won in a personal best of 29:22 in a field of 20,000 runners.
The Swansea Harrier, whose time is unlikely to be recognised by Power of 10 due to the event not having a UKA licence, took the title by nearly a minute from Liverpool’s Matt Jackson.
The women’s race saw former Aldershot team-mates Emma Pallant-Browne and Louise Small come out on top with duathlon and triathlon champion Pallant-Browne getting the win in 34:32.
The former European under-23 cross-country champion and world under-20 1500m bronze medallist switched to multi-sports following knee surgery in 2012. World titles in duathlon and aquathon followed as well as race wins at half-iroman distance.
