A quieter week for racing but no less impressive with father and son, Malcolm and Lewis competing at the Abbey Dash, Luke conquering the hills of Northumberland to bag another podium and Mike taking on the challenging Langdale Half Marathon.
Mike Stevens travelled over to the beautiful Langdale Valley in the Lake District to take on the Langdale Half Marathon. A very scenic route route with 1700ft of climb. Mike was pleased the rain had stopped shortly before the start, he finished with a time of little over 2 hours – a brilliant run from our avid traveller.
