Stilton Strider makes top 130 in 4,500-strong Lincoln 10k field

Natalie Teece and Matt Gayton travelled to Lincoln for the Jane Tomlinson Lincoln 10k, in a large, high-quality race with more than 4,500 finishers.

Melton runner Natalie finished in an excellent 39min 01secs to finish sixth lady and a superb 124th overall in a good sharpener for London, while Matt was pleased with his time of 39.40 as he continues his comeback to form.

A few striders went up the road to race the Loughborough Half-marathon, and first back for the club in a strong 24th place was Stuart Shaw in 1hr 28min 47secs.

He was followed by Lynda Harris in 2.01.59, David Hall (2.06.08) and another new Strider, Georgina Newcombe in 2.20.29.

* Wayne Hackett hit the north for the Greater Manchester Marathon.
