PAUL Fernandez showed the benefits of six weeks’ altitude training in Kenya by finishing fourth in the Bramley 20-mile race.

The Abingdon Ambler rec-orded 1hr 52mins 44secs for the two-lap course – a time which suggests a sub 2.30 marathon clocking is in range.

Kevin Game went third in Woodstock Harriers’ 20-mile rankings after finishing 33rd in 2.05.55.

Oxford City’s Phil Kimber was first male vet 65 home, clocking 2.40.54 for 355th place overall.
