They’ve posted a live stream for the race this evening which I’ve posted here. I’m in race 11/13 at about 8pm I reckon.
Thank you for your Pom poms in anticipation! I’m up against the current British 60k champion Mike Vassiliou running in lane 5. I’m in lane 7. Gulp.
There are two races. The later one will be at around 9pm.
Let’s do this 😂😅
Results here:
Good Luck Brian ❄️❄️❄️ the closest I can get to pom-poms that don’t look like virus 🦠
Thank you Dexy. They’re lovely ☺️
Hello Brian; I am sure that your engine is fine tuned and you are almost ready for blast off. The live links are a brilliant idea. I hope that you get a result which puts a smile on your face, whatever that may be. Sadly I have to present a report tonight; I am supposed to be retired, but stuff keeps finding me however hard I try to hide! I would much rather be running! Have a great evening. 🍻
Hi BC, Just getting my last few things together before heading out the door. Good luck with the presentation tonight
Thanks; maybe I should just run!!🙂
Oh how could you RunBrianRun ? That's Repair Shop time, surely you should be glued (or possibly sewn) to the TV? Ah well, hats off to you for taking on a mid-week race! 🥳
How big's your satellite dish? You're definitely not supposed to be receiving that where you are. 🤣
😂😂😂 I’ve gone right off RS since they canned my episode. Well at least I assume it’s canned as it features Mr Blade. Not heard a word from them. 🤷♂️
Yeah, thought as much. Joking apart it's a bit shoddy of them, surely they could have contacted you to let you know what's happening. Whether or not you and your family care about the episode being broadcast, failing to update you isn't doing the RS reputation any favours.
Such a shame Brian, I was looking forward to that episode.
Go Brian GO 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ 7 is a lucky number 🍀
Oh my... everything waving ... cheering and urging you on ! Pom poms aloft !🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Good luck!!!!!!!!!! RunBrianRun
cheering you on. ☺️☺️☺️☺️💪
Let’s go Brian. Dig deep, think of all your HU cheerleaders wildly flapping their pom poms, and most of all, have an absolute blast! 💥🎉💥
First race done and a new PB putting me equal number 1 in the U.K. ☺️😀
Woo hoo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wheeeeeee!

Sending positive vibes for the next race. Give it everything you got 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeha! Imagine we’re all there 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳
I’m racing again in 15 minutes or so. Race 10
Need you to confirm my suspicions re second race as I was distracted by the RS!
but late as usual but tuning in now. Go get em Brian 💪👏👏💪💪💪🔥🔥
I think we must have missed your first race but stuck with it and think we saw your 2nd. Yellow vest? Well done to you - 1st equal!
🥳 party time! I’m currently número uno in UK rankings!
Thank you for your Pom poms everyone.
That's what I suspected, yay, definitely 🥂🥳!
And never mind the pompoms, what about the virtual 🦑 ?! 🤣

Absolutely brilliant Brian, I watched your second race, it was so exciting!
Huge congratulations to you and very well done 🥳🥳🥳
Just had a look at the link. Woo hoo! Congratulations!
Thank you for all the Pom Poms and well wishes. It really motivates me! Tonight I go to bed as British Number 1 in the 60-65 age group for 60 metres. I don’t think I’ll be sleeping for a while yet though 🥳

Brilliant a great race. Thanks for the links.
It just gets better and better!!!!!!
Absolutely nailed it Brian! Congratulations; what a great start to 2025. Your coach knew what they were doing in getting you to run that 60m late last year? 🙂
Thanks BC. Yes, he clearly does BC and he’s helped me improve my start too which has helped massively. I’m in shock tbh.
🙂 Sky’s the limit! Third in the world; outstanding!!🥂
Wow Brian that is absolutely amazing!!! Utterly well deserved and couldn’t happen to a nicer chap. Numero uno here too!! Congratulations and hope there have been some serious celebrations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing! Many congratulations, Brian! 👏👏👏🎉🍾👍
Brilliant Brian! You are amazing!
I too am playing catchup - time difference has me very confused as to what day it is!
That's just epic Brian!!! You are a true superstar. Massive congratulations 👏👏👏🥇
A joy! A delight! Fantastic! Shaking my head and beaming for you. The hours of effort that led to this - astounding! 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️
Oh my! It’s been updated!! There I am ☺️
Thank you again my lovely VRBs who’ve been with me in my journey. Fingers crossed we all stay healthy and strong through 2025
Brilliant Brian, it didn’t look a very inspiring place to run so that’s fantastic that you motivated yourself to be numero uno! Whoop whoop 🙌
Thanks Dexy. Yes we were commenting on that very thing last night. Can’t wait for the British Indoor Champs at Lee Valley next month. That’s a wonderful stadium.
We shall watch this space…..
