Melanie Pillaud was a very happy LGN Run Club member as her September 1km victory (11% improvement) not only put OMD International on LGN's winners podium for the first time, but because she had almost won before when alas her two results straddled our New Year December / January annual LGN 1km clean slate and so didn't count, we at LGN applaud Melanie's running tenacity to win a pair of new shoes.
