HHH veteran Dave Peters recorded the superb 1500m time for a man in his 40’s of 4.01.11 at the Watford Open Meeting on Wednesday 30th May to set a new HHH club M40 record, displacing Bob Payne’s long standing mark.
As a senior Dave had best 800m and 1500m times of 1.52 and 3:50 and recorded 3.52 for 1500m in the same afternoon as his PB 800m. Dave’s new club M40 record time is the quickest he has run since 2002 and he is now homing in on the 2 minutes and 4 minutes barriers for the two distances as an over 40. The Watford 1500m elevates him to 2nd in the current UK 2012 M40 rankings behind Anthony Whiteman’s world M40 record.
