Another warm, if chilly, Saturday morning had 35 Striders taking on 12 courses, with 3 PB’s and 7 first time visits.
Starting at Markeaton, Martin Kerr returned to winning ways with an impressive 17:16. Meanwhile at Alvaston, Denise Robertson took a massive 52 seconds of her PB to record 24:24. Amanda Jackson set a new PB of 34:48 at Redcar, 26 seconds faster than her previous best. And the final PB of the week was at Battlestead Croft where Naimah Hameed knocked nearly 3 minutes of her’s to clock 31:41.
No international Parkruns this weekend, but we still had plenty trying new places. Hazel Baxter took a break from setting PB’s and went to Colwick, Paul Roome was in Coventry, Paul Philips visited Rosliston, Chris Sharp and Gloria Lagou were at Lochore Meadows, and finally Sally Cartwright was at Bartley Park.
At the moment (but you can never trust the Great British weather) it’s set to be a nice weekend, but probably won’t need the Factor 50 just yet.
