"MORRIS THE MILES" CLOCKS UP 70
Most of you are probably aware by now that Buckley's John Morris marked his 70th year by completing 70 races in the 12 months leading up to his milestone birthday. But do you know how he did it.
In fact, he completed 73 races for good measure and here is his race diary from November, 2012:
In total he covered 628k in 2 days, 20 hours, 25 minutes and 48 seconds - with a few breaks inbetween!
His favourite races were Hotfoot up Famau, Chester Spring 5, Patbold Hill and the Three Hills Race (Tuesday night series), and his least favourite the Ponderosa fell race and the Druid race.
The toughest - not surprisingly - was the North Wales Cross-Country Championship in Corwen in January which he and Martin Cortvriend ran a little over an hour after finishing the 9-mile Tarren Hendre fell-race.
Rumour has it that for his 80th he's planning to do 80 (100-metre sprints, that is).
