THE M40 was interesting as the winner (Tim Hartley) would nearly have won the main final but the way they work it I believe he will not get a medal!

Our Brendan ran the 5000m in 15m47 for 6th place in the M35, he has run much faster and I'm sure he'll be disappointed not to have come away with a medal. He will be contesting the 1500m,the 10,000 and the Marathon later on in the Champs! Good Luck!

In the M45 800m , 1500m World record holder Borrego was beaten in a fast semi, so could make real interesting in the final if the Canadian pushes him again; Also another Canadian in Heat two showing they could be a force!

Sorry for these results being M45 centric but not really got space to post all ages or both sexes!
