A team from Royce's Gym in Wigan broke the Men's One Hour Team Record last week in fine style. Maintaining an average split of just 1:21, they racked up a highly impressive distance of 22,212 metres, adding nearly 1,500 metres to BG Max's previous mark of 20,760 metres. Their score is even more impressive when you consider that half their team in the shape of Alex Bennett and Paul Rees, had been playing rugby the day before, and Paul had only got back from London at 1:30am the night before. Chris Rushton and Gary Scott were the other members of the team. According to Royce, Chris is looking in good shape for the British championship, pulling 15:57 for 5,000 metres a week later. With Nik Fleming having overtaken him as the fastest ever non-rower [see report on the Nottinghamshire IRC above] the 30-34 event, which both men will be competing in, looks set to be a bit of a pearler.This week we also received news of new Men's 60-69 Lwt records for Leed's Philip Stubley for both 5,000 and 10,000 metres, breaking his own existing records with 18:13.3 and 37:28.5 respectively.All British and World records can be found at http://www.therowingcompany.com/v4/brit_world_records.htm
