Results for various parkruns, 02-Jul-2016

By Rob | July 3, 2016

Mitch has sent a report from Brueton, and there were first-time appearances aplenty elsewhere.

Over to Mitch:

With the Memorial Park out of action, for our Saturday morning Park Run ‘fix’ Will Robertson, Andy Mc and I made the short trip to Solihull for the Brueton Park Run. On arrival we discovered that the start had been moved to near the tennis courts, which meant that the first kilometre was a slight downhill to start with (as the courts were on your immediate left) and then a right turn onto a long flat section. Running on the right of the path, rather than the customary left at Brueton, we went anticlockwise round the copse of trees, then back along the usual route before turning right at the tennis courts and running anticlockwise round them, before repeating the exercise for the second lap. A course debut for Will and a very creditable time despite the jet lag, but pride of place goes to Macca, who, once again wearing his new ‘Sphinx’ coloured trainers, achieved a second PB in 6 days. He followed up his 10K PB at Prestwold last Sunday with not only a course PB, but an all-time 5K PB of 20:11 and a top 30 finish (out of 443 runners). So, just 2 seconds a kilometre short of that elusive 20 minute barrier and then you can enjoy a long and happy retirement mate (bit like Wayne!).

Stop Press: Final mention and congratulations to Vicky Hand who also did ‘the double’ of a course PB and an all-time 5K record time of 28:57.
