Just a shout out for ex Junior FRA Champion Marc Scott ex of Richmond and Zetland.

Last year he ran the Ribble Valley 10k for the first time and won it in a course record 28:58, the first sub 29 on the course that has had some top athletes over the years.

He won it on Sunday again in 28:32 with the top 3 men all inside 29 and some incredible depth in the ladies as well.

I was frowned upon at times by many non-fell endurance coaches for encouraging some of my runners to have a go at junior fell.

Marc is another example of how a sensible level of fell running can help produce a strong all-round adult endurance runner.
Be interesting if he ever gets a taste for fell again.
