Everyone forgets Ken's own son, Adam, who has had fleeting trips down to Manchester to train with Norman Poole's group at Sale.
He is elligible to represent England and Scotland and competes for Edinburgh Woollen Mill. It is controvertial tht
at he just comes and trains with Sale when he feels like but he is making a lot of progress by doing this. New team manager Jack Duckworth is trying to persuade him to join Sale as a higher claim club though to represent the City of Manchester at BAL meets.
I saw him at Sport City doing repeat quarters and he was banging out some fast times. He's still only 20 but in his first year as a senior has really failed to make an impact. His pbs still stand from last season as 1.49.55 for 800m and 3.48 for 1500m... at which event does his future lie?
Tune in for the 8.30 episode tonight as we see him at the Trafford grand Prix doing the 1500m.
Never really saw potential in Adam until his 1:49 but he is another one of the great young talents coming out of Manchester.
Adam also has the potential to be a good distance runner. He was 2nd to Norris Cole in the Weatherfield Winter Warmer 10K last December. I was there watching the race and you couldn't miss him because he was wearing his famous tartan shorts. I think he wanted to wear his kilt with unique Barlow tartan but decided against it as it was too bloody cold.
haha aww the famous tartan shorts, a true idol for all young socktish runners. another great runner to come from the street was former senior girls 3000m gold medalist leanne battersby, her mum jannet was also a gold medalist at the schools in the hammer throw (bet you didnt know that). Leannes time of 9:05 is still the champiionship best. unfortunally she got a in with the wrong crowd at uni and is know scrubbing for money as a prosistute?
Sorry spelling was terrible(scottish and prostitute)
Ive never heard of any of thse athletes? Is this a wind up?
You must have heard of Liz Lynch (nee McColgan) who was involved with Kenny Barlow for a short time. When she was under Kenny though she was known as Bet.

I have been training a few athletes throughout the winter months and they are flying at the moment. One of them, who shall remained unnamed, has clocked a 14.26 5k time trial in training. He is 18 years old. Us southerners will give u northern monkeys a run for your money yet.
