The RUNdown - 9 November 2026
Some just out for a jog, others lost in the fog, one pulled along by a dog, and some quick PBs to log.
Saturday brought a big parkrun PB for Ben at Long Eaton, who achieved his long-standing ambition of running a sub 20-minute 5k. Also at Long Eaton, Nick and Rachael both ran a season's best, with some rather nippy times. Liam H joined the list of impressive parkrun performances, improving his PB from last week by another 3 seconds at Watermead. In other parkrun milestones, Rebecca B ticked off her 70th parkrun location on her 70th birthday.
At the Seagrave Wolds Challenge, Michael C was the first runner to appear out of the fog and claimed the top spot. Alex T and Paul L claimed age group podium spots.
There were also Barrow Runners in action abroad. Laura ran the Malaga Half, achieving her goal of finishing in one piece. Poppy and Swift were in a more competitive mood as they claimed an impressive 23rd place at the Canicross World Championships in Poland.
