Two Welsh Masters M70 Best Performances by David Gibson are verified by WMAL...
Welsh Master and Tri Hard Harrier David Gibson from Swansea has now had two Welsh Masters' records verified by WMAL official Chris Pruski.
His M70 Welsh Masters Marathon Best Performance was achieved at the 2024 London Marathon in April with a category winning time of 3.13.31, on 21st April 2024. His M70 Welsh Masters Half Marathon Best Performance of 1.27.11, was accomplished at the 2024 Swansea Half Marathon on June 9th.
These confirmations come just a few weeks after David came 4th in the World Masters Athletics Championship M70 Half Marathon in Gothenburg and was the recipient of a team silver medal for Great Britain.
David started running at the age of 62 doing a 'Couch to 5k' challenge and finds it’s hard to believe how far he has come in the last ten years. He commented "I am really proud of these achievements, which seem a bit unreal for me, but I hope that they can also provide some inspiration to the younger members of my club - Tri Hard Harriers."
NOTE: From Chris Pruski, the WMAL records co-ordinator.
*I am updating the WMAL records site for Marathon and Half Marathon best performances? I’ve also updated the records to include David Gibson, who set best performances in both the Marathon and Half Marathon at M70 at London on 21st April, and at Swansea on 9th June this year. The file on the website is from 2022 and will be updated asap to remain relevant for our athletes.”
