Mansfield Woodhouse runner Stuart King has qualified for the final of the British Indoor Championships 1,500 metres on Sunday afternoon after a strong run in his heat on Saturday.

King, who runs for Heanor AC, missed out on on the final last year by a couple of fastest losers’ places.

But he made no mistake on Saturday, finishing fifth in his heat in 3mins 54.34 – a time that would have won the first heat at the championships in Sheffield.
