With the autumn marathon season upon us, many Peelers have been training hard for events all over the UK but this Sunday Michael Hughes crossed continents to record a personal best time in the Chicago marathon, finishing in an impressive 4:25:55.
With autumn upon us and supposedly cooler weather, the Canicross racing season has started again.
