It was a quieter week for Barking Road Runners, apart from Owen Wainhouse.

He had the little matter of the North Downs Way 100-mile ultra marathon to tackle, with the trail run from Farnham in Surrey to Ashford in Kent including a total climb of 10,000 feet.

Describing it as 'hellishly muddy, slippery and wet', he completed it plus a few extra miles in around 26 hours and was well inside the cut-off time.

Barking's Joe Stacey went one better at parkrun this week finishing first at Barking, while Jess Collett was second female finisher at the same event.

Both recorded parkrun personal bests of 17.53 and 21.50 respectively.

*Samuel Crane was first past the post at the latest Barking & Dagenham junior parkrun in 7.57.
