WHAT. A. WEEK. FOR DGPC ATHLETES πŸ”₯🩷🀍🩡

Alana Forrest
On Sunday, Alana took on the Sydney Marathon and produced an incredible 3:56 β€” breaking the 4-hour barrier for the very first time! ⏱️

And not only that… a near-perfect negative split. Absolutely brilliant marathon ex*****on. PB πŸ””

Anastasia Halvorsen
Saturday at wadsparkrun saw Anastasia continue her fantastic form, running 25:20 and smashing a huge PB πŸ””

Brandan Hammonds
Another massive PB came from Brandan, clocking 22:27! πŸ™Œ

Stuart Phillips
Ran 19:39 - his first official sub 20 - a brilliant performance - PB πŸ””

The improvement since joining DGPC in August has been fantastic to watch β€” hard work, consistency and belief paying off. PB πŸ””

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ DGPC Pacer Crew
I also had 10 DGPC pacers out at the monthly Chase the Pacer event.

Every single one showed fantastic discipline and did an amazing job helping others chase down their own goals. That’s what it’s all about β€” supporting each other and helping people.

And finally…

Owen Bromley
Thursday evening saw Owen take to the streets of London for Podium 5 – Run the Wharf, running a blistering 17:22 and smashing a brand-new PB πŸ””

Four months.

That’s all it’s been since DGPC began β€” and to see where we are already is honestly incredible.

Almost at capacity.
A growing team.
A brilliant community.
And plenty more to come.

I couldn’t be prouder of every single athlete.

This isn’t just about times on a watch.

It’s about people, progress, consistency and celebrating every single win β€” big or small.

Male Athlete of the month - August

Delighted to announce our male AOTM is Eoin McGrath

Eoin produced an incredible sub 10 Iron Man in Tallinn Estonia. A dream performance from himself. 🦁

Eoin epitomises everything we stand for at DGPC - staying humble, working hard and showing up every single day. He was regularly doing 4 sessions in a day during his build up and this performance was the icing on the cake for his journey as an Athlete - with so much more to come also.

Eoin will receive a Β£50 Sports Shoes Voucher and a Β£50 DGPC certificate.
