We didn’t spot any of you around the country this weekend. Presumably you were all off working hard on Sunday long runs? Or if you’re Kathy baking pre-NYC Trip Cookies and Flapjacks. Which looked fantastic.  Otherwise here’s you’re remaining baked goods-free (*sad face emoji*) weekend recap…

Brueton parkrun:

You wait three years to get the position number 1 token at parkrun then two come along in three weeks. Chairman Darren took advantage of a quiet week at the front to run 17:48 and finish first overall at Brueton. Jane Evans showed good form to push him hard though – she clocked 17:58. That’s Jane’s 46th first finish for the women. Putting her only 4 behind Peter Brookes who holds the men’s title with 50. Will we see a woman sitting at the top of the tree soon? Glass Ceilings Smashed.

It was a Chairman Party for the men with the Obama to Darrens Trump*… Jonathan Randall running 18:56 for second K&D man while Edward Long finished third man in 20:03.

*These Nukes, Bad People, I don’t know if you saw my innaugauration crowds? Biggest in Knowle, Bigly. Nukes. Uranium. Bad People. Johnathan Randalls Emails. FBI…

Sorry. Where were we? Oh Yes..

Following the excellent efforts of Jane Evans was Louse Bell who is training well on Wednesday nights and running well at weekends. She ran 23:34 to finish ahead of third woman Jan Hornby. I believe this is Jan’s first time on the women’s podium so congrats on her time of 26:26.

Congrats to Nigel Collins who showed great post-marathon training benefits with an excellent 26:17 PB! Subhash Agarwalla continued his fine improvement with a 25:28 PB and Neil Letham ran 24:33 showing that the blokes we’re on fire this weekend. Not to be outdone though Lennie Watson ran 44:07 to set a new PB and strike one back for the women. Read more
