#1 Mo Farah [M35] ran 59:22 at the GNR, Newcastle on 09/09/2018 but it is a downhill point to point course.
#3 Tony Berry, British born (11/09/1935) ran a 1:33:51 half marathon in
Melbourne on 10/10/2010 but ran for Australia in World Masters so
cannot also be a British age best holder at M75.

Notes:
#2
Although Alastair Watson has a better Chip time, WMA rules dictate that Gun timing
takes precedence over Chip timing. Therefore John Gilbert's time is the best performance.
#4
Angela Copson also ran 1:27:02 in the Malta Half on 28/02/2010 but it is 600ft
downhill.
#5
Jane Davies (W65) ran 1:34:16 Chip time for the Half Marathon at Fleet
on 22/03/2015, but Gun (AG%) 1:34:45.

Notes:
#2 Although Alastair Watson has a better Chip time, WMA rules dictate that Gun timing takes precedence over Chip timing. Therefore John Gilbert's time is the best performance.
#4 Angela Copson also ran 1:27:02 in the Malta Half on 28/02/2010 but it is 600ft downhill.
#5 Jane Davies (W65) ran 1:34:16 Chip time for the Half Marathon at Fleet on 22/03/2015, but Gun (AG%) 1:34:45.
