National Indoor Masters Championships - Kelvin Hall

A fantastic double success for prolific indoor track champion Martin Duthie at the Kelvin Hall today. Martin had elected to go for the 3000m and 1500m double, his favoured event, the 3000m, coming first. This gave Martin the possibility to go for it in the 3000m and then just do what he had to do in the 1500m without worrying too much about it. And go for it he did. In a tight, race long battle with Fife's John Thompson, Martin eased ahead to win the M45 title in an excellent 9:47 and to finish 3rd overall. The race was won by Kevin Downie in 9:26. Then came the 1500m in which Martin was not going for a time (in fact, he doesn't know his time but thinks around 4:40ish) but did enough to also win M45 gold in that too. Well done to Martin on another excellent performance.
