NYSD Track + Field Report

Training
NYSD Track + Field Report:   As it was the final athletics meeting of the season I tried to recruit my dear old friend Dave Fender for the event. It turned out to be a big mistake.   Dave currently resides in the 'Home for Bewildered ParkRunners With Unusual Injuries' on Yarm Lane - receiving the expert care he so desperately needs.

NYSD Track + Field Report

Run reports
Well it can't be too bad this athletics lark - because Rachel Carr, who made her track debut a couple of weeks ago, returned for more. Having recorded 14 minutes 2 seconds for the 3000 metres at Middlesbrough - was she able to break the 14 minute barrier at Darlo - or was it a step too far? Read on...
