Ed 'Marathon Man' Catmur wins again!

Clearly on a roll after winning 'The Great Welsh Marathon' in Llanelli on 21st April in 2.36, Ed Catmur went on to win the Milton Keynes marathon on 6th May in a fantastic race. He said that he "just barely escaped a valiant challenge from two Cambridge Harriers. But the true victor on the day was the weather, as a steady 78:38 first half proved unsustainable in the 20 degree heat forcing me to settle for a finish over 10 minutes adrift from my PB in 2.46."
