Five of the graduates of the club's first Couch to 5k programme completed the popular London Winter run this weekend. Ten of those who signed up for the programme last June survived the eight week course, graduating at the end of July. Since then many have continued to train regularly with Stragglers and can often be found at Bushy parkrun.
Kate Murphy, Orla White, Mandy Cooper, Sophie Elloy and Wendy White, decided to step it up a gear and tackle a mass participation event.
Wendy was the first of the group to finish in a time of 1:00:36. However, it wasn't quite fast enough to claim the honour of first Straggler to finish since Lynda Chase was also competing and finished in 00:59:43.
Congratulations to all of them.
