Brian McSharry and Lore Paterson both achieved PBs at Coventry on Saturday; well done to both. Elsewhere, Alex Bartlett did Osterley parkrun for the first time, and the Timms’ and Steve Osmond ventured to Leamington and Daventry respectively.
Andy, Jackie and Mitch traversed the Channel and completed the Jersey parkrun for the first time, as part of the running festival. Elsewhere, Steve Osmond set a new best for himself at Leamington.
Well done to Kevin Dick for PBing at Coventry. Elsewhere, Andy Wilkinson was a first timer at Wycombe Rye and Dorota was a first timer at Krakow.
Mitch has sent the following report from Delamere parkrun:
This has got to be my favourite of all the Park Run venues. A single lap of the stunning Delamere Forest, on meandering trails and tracks, made the 100 mile, 1 and 3/4hr trip all worthwhile. The pictures say it all….
The younger generations were in fine PB-form with 3 PBs at Coventry – well done to Brian McSharry, Lore Paterson and Ella Wilkinson.
Elsewhere, the parkrun tourism continues unabated with debuts at Braunstone for Kathryn Stuart, at Cannon Hill for Steve Osmond and Shrewsbury for Wayne Broadbent.
Saturday brought parkrun tourism and a handful of PBs. Steve Osmond and Mitch Timms went to Banbury parkrun for the first time, Alex Bartlett was on the run at Wormwood Scrubs for the first time, and there were PBs for Ian Cunningham at Leamington and Lacey Abbott, Chloe Ferguson and Alexander O’Brien at Coventry.
Mitch has sent the following report from the Rushcliffe parkrun and there were PBs at Coventry for Lore Paterson, Lisa Abbott and Imran Ali.
En route to Leeds for their half-marathon tomorrow, Jackie and I dropped off at Rushcliffe Country Park in Nottingham for our Saturday morning Park Run fix. Just happened to be there on the day that they had their record turn-out of runners too, 397 in total, a considerable achievement bearing in mind that there are 5 Park Runs in and around Nottingham. The course itself was a picturesque two-lapper on gravel paths, passing a lake and through open countryside. Generally flat and cool to start with, made it a really enjoyable run. It also had kilometre markers to help the new runners and those striving for that elusive PB (whatever one of those is). Well-marshalled and enthusiastically directed, definitely in my top 5 Park Runs – well worth doing Mr Osmond, less than an hour from Coventry 🙂
Lore Paterson and Lisa Abbott set new bests at Coventry and Chloe Ferguson was a first-timer. Elsewhere, The O’Briens did Bury parkrun for the first time and described it as:
Glorious spring morning to try the Bury Parkrun – sunny but cool. Not a PB course – 100% off road!!
Another week and another new venue for Steve Osmond – this time Arrow Valley.
Well done to Lore Paterson and Ruth Hallett for achieving new PBs at Coventry. Elsewhere, Steve Osmond continued his parkrun tour by being a first-timer at Perry Hall, and Alex Bartlett continued his comeback by running Southampton parkrun for the first time.
Another parkrun Saturday, another top 3 finish for Andy Wilkinson, another new course for Steve Osmond and the extended Timms family debut at Coventry.
