One of Kenny's unbeatable records

IF Jebby was having a go at the grasmere record you'd think his prep would involve less 3 hour plus races...... hardly sensible
http://www.salomon.fatboyjim.com/team/rob-jebb/ look under the goals bit its say grasmere record interesting that he has only ever done one 10k

When Rob ran it in 2002 he did 19.33 compared to Kenny Stuart's 18.39, so he has a little way to go.yeh cya there, alva needs some bigger names to come up because i think its a beatable record from what ive heard this year jebbys supposedly having a crack at the grasmere record so names like him maybe should try this super steep race
In those days more runners trained specifically for the short steep BOFRA races than today. Rob has a greater ability over a range of distances but the likes of Kenny, Fred Reeves and Tommy Sedgwick were the experts at courses like Alva.
You are right, we need a new winner as it has got a bit samey the last few years!
Fitness can't be stored. It must be earned over and over, indefinitely.
We just need something a bit more exciting from you in the ring HHH rather than the Shearer esc. raising the arm to heavens!You are right, we need a new winner as it has got a bit samey the last few years!
Get practicing those backflips and cartwheels
Up the mighty Wharfedale 'arriers!
