Barry Island 10km, August 7

Olivia Tsim continued her good form and the Pontypridd Roadent clocked an impressive 35:21 on an undulating and challenging route, following on her successes earlier in the Healthspan Wales 10km Series, previously winning the Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay Run in May.

"The atmosphere and support out on the course was amazing," Tsim said. "It was a similar day today as it was to Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay Run, and I’ve learnt my lesson in these conditions, going out way too quick!

"It’s not an easy course, it’s quite undulating and winding, but these kind of runs put you out of your comfort zone and are great as part of my training for a half-marathon. I enjoyed it, it was a great day."

Tsim finished over a minute ahead of second-placed Lauren Cooper (36:24) of Parc Bryn Bach Runners and Builth and District runner Donna Morris (37:09) in third.

In the men’s race, Bridgend AC’s former international steeplechaser and triathlete Adam Bowden took the victory in a brilliant 30:50, having been in second place at the 5km mark.

Bowden was the victor at the ABP Newport Wales Marathon at the end of 2021, but here showed his 10km prowess.

Adam Bowden

"I’ve never done the ABP Barry Island 10km before, but I thrive in the sun as well and I just love running in the heat," said winner Bowden."‘I’m still training for the marathon distance, but as you get older and run with these younger guys, you need to work on your speed and get that feeling in your heart and lungs."

Bowden pipped second-placed Paul Graham (31:00) from Pontypridd Roadents in a fiercely contested men’s field, with Healthspan Porthcawl 10km victor James Hunt (31:17) continuing his run of 10km form in third place.
