Successful Masters Weekend

It was a busy weekend of Masters running in Scotland, with the XC National Championship on Saturday and the 3000m indoors on Sunday.
Falkirk Vics had 6 Masters out running in the Scottish Athletics National Cross Country Masters Championships held in Dundee on Saturday. We took home a full set of 🥇 🥈 and 🥉from a hilly, traily, challenging course. Fiona Matheson was running in the 1st race of the day, over 6.4k and won gold in her age category, finishing in 27:34. Monica Anderson had a fine race as well. The 2nd race was over 8k and Grant Matheson won silver in his age group in 32:38, with Mike McQuaid taking bronze in 33:10. Strong showings also from Gary McKenna and Malcolm Findlayson.
24 hours later it was the Emirates for Fiona and Grant, and both returned with the same colour of medal as on Saturday. Up first race, Grant ran a 3000m track PB to win the 🥈 and Fiona, in a time that equated to 104% age grade took home 🥇.
