London Calling

It was more the Race of Her Life than a Race for Life. When you enter your first 5km race, raise a few hundred pounds for charity, come effortlessly past the post in just 34 mins and spookily get the race number 2012 – you can’t help but think that a gold medal in four year’s time is a distinct possibility. We guess there’s even a sporting chance that the BOC will adopt the stylish pink and black polka dot number as the official equivalent to go-faster stripes.

It all sounded too good to be true. We’ve just had a word with Lord Coe and the Olympic qualifying time for the Women’s 5k is a mere 15.09, anything less and you’re history. Way to go Katherine!
