October 2023 CMOTM
22 November 2023 - By Steven Alder
A huge congratulations to Will Radley who is our CMOTM for October 2023. Will managed to take 22 minutes off his marathon PB in 2:52:38 and did well with the training leading up to it. He also had great support from his family. He also came first at the Writtle XC and used his taper week to be a pacer at Tiptree 10. Will is also friendly and encouraging to everyone.
We once again had some great nominations, let’s take a look:
- Paul English – For his PB at the Chelmsford Half Marathon of 1:32:43 where he beat his previous record by 6 minutes.
- Claudia Baba – For her commitment to WRC Runs, Training, participating in lots of races and her marathon effort at Lisbon. She was also WRC’s first lady at her first ever XC.
- Michael Conroy – Mick’s kindness is unreal. He comes to races as a spectator to cheer runners on, bringing energy drinks and sweets at the finish. He always leaves nice comments of encouragement on people’s runs on Strava. He’s constantly watching after safety at the pacing groups on Tuesday runs, always warning of traffic.
- Fiona Collins – Fiona has completed her second marathon and managed to take 16 minutes off her PB (in pretty hideous conditions) off the back of a not ideal training block. Fiona was patient in recovering from injury and her meticulous training schedule. Fiona also took part in other races during October.
- Owen Dare – For becoming V60 County Champion after a fantastic season finished off with his performance at Tiptree 10.
- Mark Austin – For becoming V65 County Champion after an amazing season of racing.
