Mike Competes At World Championships In Germany

Mike Weedall, a long time member of Vale Royal Athletic Club has made his international debut for England at the age of forty seven.

Mike competed at the World Fell Running Championships in Black Forest, Germany with a very tough six mile run to come 11th.  Mike was delighted with his position and was the 2nd English athlete home.

Mike really enjoyed the experience and it has given him a real appetite for running, even more so than normal.  Mike has been running for over 20 years and was English Fell Running champion 15 years ago.

Mike thoroughly enjoys the banter at the club, not mentioning any names, although we all know who is the main person for starting it and the good spirits in training sessions.  Mike has already set his sights on further fell running races and is looking forward to the cross country season.

Further details will be available when I get them, as well as photos of Mike on International duty.
