The men's race went to the wire, with only metres separating winner Yoshihika Ishikawa and SwedenвЂ™s Johan Steene after the full day of running вЂ“ infact, it took some time for the confirmation of the result to be ratified. Louise picked up silver after covering 127.76 milesВ for 38thВ place overall (and 2 nd place AAI competitor), while Susan completed 126.69 (40th place overall and 3rd place AAI competitor)В to complete the National Championship podium.

In the race for the AAI National 24-hour title, respected Irish athlete Amy Masner topped the podium with 142.04В milesВ (7th place overall and 1st place AAI competitor). Katalin was forced to settle for 3rd place withВ 154.71 miles to her name. It looked like Katalin would secure 2nd place and the associated silver medal - however, an impressive finish saw Poland's Aleksandra Niwinska catch and pass Katalin to finish on 156.02 miles. After American Katalin Nagy led during the early exchange, current World and European record holder Patrycja showed her class, bettering her own records when covering a new personal best distance of 160.53 miles (258.3k) breaking through the 160 miles barrier is a significant step for ladies 24-hour running. It was in the second half of the classic endurance test when Patrycja Bereznowska made her mark on the race. Nearly 400 of the world's best ultra-distance athletes from 42 countries took part in what was an excellent spectacle for local sport. The prestigious event, which was held in Victoria Park, also incorporated the World Masters Age Group 24-hour Championships as well as the AAI National 24-hour Championships. Patrycja Bereznowska (Poland) covered a new World and European record distance of 160.53 miles as she and Yoshihika Ishikawa (Japan) were crowned World Champions at the IAU 24-hour World Championships in Belfast this weekend (Saturday 1 st and Sunday 2 nd July 2017). To sponsor Tom visit Bereznowska smashes records at IAU 24 hour World Championships in Belfast It's the first bike I think that really does this, particularly as I hate turbo training!вЂќ It's a great way to build power and work on specific programmes. He added: вЂњThis challenge is really good training for me and I really like the Wattbike. Newman, who competes for Pro-Vo2, has taken part in numerous Ironman events and represented Great Britain at the World Long Distance Championships in Prague last year. I had originally planned to do it outdoors in the summer on a 20mile loop but I was involved in an accident where I fractured my skull and most of my season was written off. This isn't my main focus for training, but it's something I decided to do at the start of the year and I intend to enjoy myself. I did a bucket-load of miles in 12 hours when I tested myself out a few weeks ago. Newman continued: вЂњI'm hoping to break the 24 hour record. The current record is 2159 Watts, a score that comes close to those achieved by the likes of Sir Chris Hoy! He also has a live band, party and festive cakes to help him along and has put up a cash prize for the winner of a Wattbike peak power test, which involves cycling as hard as possible for six seconds to record a power score. I've sold slots to make sure I'm not riding on my own!вЂќ He said: вЂњI think one of the toughest things will be keeping going throughout the night. He has hired two Wattbikes for the challenge at the Horsley Sports Club in Surrey where he will start his marathon ride at 3pm. Newman's main motivation is raising money for the Princess Alice Hospice, but the 25 year old athlete has ensured that he will be spurred along to break the record by inviting friends to pay for 30 and 60 minute slots to ride alongside him. Tom Newman from Fulham is aiming to surpass the record of 722.383 km (448.76 miles) on a Wattbike set by RAAM cyclist, Jim Rees at the Cycle Show in October. The 24 hour static cycling world record is set to come under threat today (11th December).
