It’s attending to the purpose now the place we’re questioning if Gemma Metal wants a parkrun intervention. One other week on the high of the charts for the British worldwide and, we will’t repeat this sufficient, it’s nice to see her working so properly. It’s simply we’re working out of issues to say on this article about Metal now. 16:21 at Lengthy Eaton is a cracking run, though Jess Piasecki has a extremely robust course document of 15:51 from 2019 that may be a little bit faster.
Ben Brown of Southampton AC was the quickest chap this weekend, working 14:52 at his house city occasion. The U20 has been flying once more this 12 months with PBs over 800, 1500 and 3000m on the observe with 1:57, 3:56 and eight:20 (indoors). The 14:25 5k runner isn’t any stranger to parkrun and really has a parkrun better of 14:32 at Poole parkrun final September that may take some beating!
One other below 17 minutes
Stephanie Morwood was one other runner below 17 minutes, in a time typically adequate for the highest spot. Clocking 16:58 at Rushmoor parkrun takes Louise Small’s course document by over 20 seconds and we begin to marvel why this athlete doesn’t have a profile on Energy of 10. Do we all know any fast Stephanie’s over 5k…. Possibly Steph Twell maybe? Ah, sure! The GB worldwide marathoner, married to Joe Morwood, was nearly incognito on the parkrun web site however makes it’s a his and hers course document for the Rushmoor occasion.
Now it’s acquired us considering who may clock the quickest parkrun {couples} course information award. May Andrew and Lauren Heyes give them a run for his or her cash?
A parkrun common in Seyfu Jamaal jumped up the rankings this week and ran the second quickest male time of 15:03 at his favorite Highbury Fields occasion. We’re questioning if Seyfu has probably the most options our parkrun high 10s since we’ve been doing them? Or that might even be somebody like Sophie Wooden, who ran 17:08 at Worsley Woods parkrun this weekend to seize the ultimate podium spot within the ladies’s rankings.
A 15:09 useless warmth for third quickest males between Andrew Mulligan and Harry Smith at Belfast Victoria and the Eden Venture respectively was a photograph end. From what we’ve heard concerning the Eden Venture which may have been the more durable day trip, however we simply go on the instances right here and nobody is clocked right down to the millisecond.
Quickest course?
Ellie Marie Monks charged house in 17:52 to seize the tenth spot within the feminine rankings and, in doing so, brings the imaginary quickest course trophy house to the Southampton occasion this week, with Ben Brown the opposite working on the south coast. Please ship again the imaginary trophy in good time so it may be awarded subsequent week.
