Lisa Gawthorne and Gregory Callaghan were flying the LPS flag at Haydock Park 10k, Lisa really was flying as she came home 1st female in 39:45. Greg, also finishing well in 6th.

Rob Wood and John Dobie completed our quartet of competitors with Rob finishing 3rd in the V60 category in 21:18 and John in the V75 category finishing in a superb 27:11.
Keeping with the 5k category, Sé Loughlin took 5 seconds off his personal best time at the Podium 5k race in Barrowford in 14:53. Kirsty Longley in the same event took 16 seconds off her best course time to finish in 17:05 after stepping up a race.
Then we had the Manchester marathon today with a number of club runners performing incredibly well over the 26 mile course. Mother and Son team, Louise and Sam Dermott completing the race in 3:33.03 and 3:28.49. Considering this was only 4 weeks post covid, it was a fabulous effort by Louise.
In the same marathon Sarah Grant smashed her personal best time by over 6 minutes, crossing the line in 3:24.53.
Onwards and upwards LPS, there’s a tremendous season ahead for the endurance project under the stewardship of Mark Bleasdale and Tony O’Brien
