Newark AC’s Ed Buck finished third in his debut marathon on Sunday.
Buck was one of more than 10,000 entrants at the Yorkshire Marathon, which took place in York, but came home with a bronze medal.
He was leading for the majority of the race, only to be overtaken with a few miles to go. He ran a time of 2hr28min39sec, taking down the 32-year-old Newark AC club record in the process.
The conditions were horrendous with lots of wind and rain and, with it not being the fastest course, there's a lot more to come from Buck over the next few years as he perfects the distance.
