CHARLOTTE Taylor-Green opened her winter season with an outing in Ireland.
Coach James Thie got Charlotte an entry for the Autumn Open Cross Country Festival in Dublin and the Bristol & West AC runner finished 18th from a strong field.
“I went in on a heavy week of training so was using it as my third session,” said Charlotte.
“I ran okay but I am only three weeks into proper training so was feeling very unfit.”
Charlotte has said she will not race as much this winter as she gears all her preparations for a big season on the track next summer.
