WOODSTOCK’S Steve Naylor finished 20th at the Bupa London 10,000, which was won by British Olympic medal hopeful Mo Farah.

Naylor helped his first claim club Bedford & County to sixth place in the team competition, completing the 10K race in 31mins 3secs.

Woodstock Harriers’ Sophie Carter was the 21st lady home, clocking 37.07 for 231st overall.

Elysia Ridley, from Ascott-under-Wychwood and competing for Swansea Harriers, was 24th lady in 37.50.

Naylor said: “The times were quite considerably slower than last year.

“I even found myself running just off the heels of Farah and the leading group during the first kilometre.

“The heat was unreal – about 24 degrees when the starting gun went at 10am and reaching 28 degrees before midday.”
