WOODSTOCK Harriers ace Steve Naylor continued his remarkable winter season with a superb second place at Sunday’s Bourton 10K.

Only Great Britain Olympic athlete Dan Robinson got the better of Naylor, who crossed the line in the silver medal position in a personal best of 30mins 39secs.

This lowered Naylor’s previous best by 46 seconds.

Naylor said: “Having raced against Dan at Alsager, I’ve been told he is great at judging pace.

“I knew if I stuck with him, I had a good chance of a pb, and so it proved.”

Naylor’s teammate, James Bolton, finished fifth in 33.20.

Naylor added: “Having coped with the mud last week at Alton Towers, I was unsure how my legs would hold out, so I was really pleased to test myself against a class runner.”

Meanwhile, Headington Roadrunners’ women followed up their fine result last weekend with team victory at Bourton.

Diane Moore finished second in 38.17, closely followed by Charlotte Harris, who clocked a personal best of 40.39.

Eirini Flouri completed the points-scoring team with a personal best of 42.23.
