Good luck to any 10k and half marathon runners today.
Yesterday saw 29 club runners at 9 parkrun events. Some people ran, some helped, some went on to help with the Alderley Edge Fun Run – some did more than one, some did all 3!
Most runners were at Stretford where JamesS first timed and ran his fastest parkrun and Trevor on his 150th run achieved his best AG ever of 85.27%.
Least number of runners were at Lochend Woods – where Tim ventured north to run near Dunbar and recorded a strong time for his first visit on his 90th parkrun. Other solos were IanS at Sale PB’ing last years time by over 20 seconds; RichardL revisiting Macc after a years absence there; Oliver at Congleton with his best AG this year; and Mark revisiting Woodbank to PB by over a minute – now resting until Edinburgh.
IanA and Gareth chose the tough Lyme Park course. Ian with his fastest time there for two years and Gareth trying out his knee with his second parkrun this year.
Bramhall had its usual suspects. PaulG, slower than last week, but showing PaulN a pair of clean hills after their previous ding-dong. Janine ran her fastest there this year, almost equalling her best ever AG, was not too far behind PaulN. AndrewC ran his 50th parkrun to add Bramhall to his Summer parkrun competition time.
Wilmslow, as usual, had most club runners.
Sam couldn’t PB for a third week on the trot and came home second by some hundredth of seconds. Jim was fourth finisher, Mike 6th with his fastest time for 3 years and Robin 10th. Closely behind the Wilmslow pack was GrahamD – just 1 second off his 2018 PB and his fastest AG ever.
The ladies were led home by Di, recovered after her fantastic London marathon, on her 50th run, had her fastest time for two years and best ever AG. Tracy after setting up the course (with Nic on his 50th park run) ran a very strong run and finished with the top AG of 80.97%. Just behind Laura, her last parkrun before Edinburgh next week, ran her best for over 6 months – fingers crossed for a time around 3:20 or just under! Not to be outdone Kathryn ran her second parkrun, without pacers this week, and ettered last weeks time by 13 seconds for a PB. Jan after her recent Tri had a good run too. Well done ladies.
RichardH, paced the 23 minutes easily. Colin, benefitting from being Laura’s running buddy, smashed his PB by over 50 seconds. Alan, after last weeks pacing, ran his consistent time. And then we hit the Masters.
Though hobbling towards the start, I felt better running than last week, unfortunately it was much slower and I spent the time pacing and chasing John and Roy for most of the race. I finished a minute worse than last week, John achieved his sub 28, Roy had his fastest time for 4 months. And I remembered not to go mad and kick at the end, happy to coast in behind John.
AG wise WRC led by Tracy were 1-3 (mike, Jim) and 7-9th (GrahamD, Sam and Di).
