Any Runners On Here??

First parkrun since 2017 today. 26.17 but a slow start due to being stuck in a mass of runners. Position 100 out of 267. Hope to get faster in the new year.

Had my annual bash at the Exmouth Boxing Day fun run. Strava tells me it was 4.2km and I finished it in just less than 23 minutes which seems reasonable given the amount of turkey I consumed the day before.

Santa brought me a new RonHill running jacket. My current plan is to go back to week 4 or 5 in couch to 5k, starting with next week’s school run. It will have to be on the flat too until I’m a bit more recovered from covid.

Wow. The state I’m currently in I don’t think I could even do double her time.

I would also only see her at the start line and never again!! In fact if it was a two lap run I would see her again when she lapped me 😟

In saying that I googled her and she is a serious athlete running for her country.

I ran the Pomphrey Hill Parkrun on Christmas Eve, the fastest time was 15:51...!!!

I took a more leisurely 28:35...

I am ashamed to say, despite her being a fellow Welsh person, I had not heard of her. You learn something every day.

A new World Record and from the photos it starts on bumpy grass as well. Crazy fast.

It’s not the original course which was much faster. Started by the cricked pavilion and two laps of the lake before finishing with almost a complete lap of the cycle track.

Wow! he's certainly got the drawn face and staring into the distance look of an endurance runner! Be interesting to hear the behind the scenes stuff such as diet / physio / setbacks / etc
Kudos.

Blimey every day! Just one a year is a ball ache! Very well done to the bloke, amazing feat.

A ridiculously huge achievement. A whole year of marathons and having to work at the same time!

He's superhuman.
