Bedford Parkrun - 30.11.13

There must have been something in the air in Bedford this morning as out of the 6 FlitwickTri members taking part 4 of them achieved new PBs. These were (in finishing order) Les, Fiona, Ellen and Sian.

The times were:

Pete Jones            23.43
Les Potts               23.46
Fiona Jones           26.47
Ellen Wright          30.16
Chris Wright          30.18
Sian Jones             35.14

Lois has been banned from running by her Chiropractor but walked the 5K route the opposite way in 46 minutes. 

Well done everyone.

Movember Run MK - 24.11.13.

A chilly morning greeted the 4 FlitwickTri members who were due to take part in the 2013 Movember Run in MK. All were sporting impressive Mo's as can be seen in the photos below. There was a very good turnout with 729 runners taking part in the 10K race, some in very impressive fancy dress.

Unfortunately both Jason and Les were carrying injuries and were not able to run. Their support was however very much appreciated as were Jason's photographic skills.

The course is very undulating with a particularly tough section from 5k to 8k.

The times were:

Chris Wright               84th in 48.02
Pete Jones                 205th in 53.35

Bedford Parkrun - 23.11.13

This morning 7 of us travelled up to Bedford for the week's Parkrun. It was much drier underfoot but whilst there was no frost the weather was pretty cold. This didn't hinder Fiona's running however as she set a new PB.

Les, Pete and I were taking things a bit easier ahead of the Movember run tomorrow but still enjoyed a run out.

The times were:

Les Potts                         26.04
Pete Jones                      27.07
Fiona Jones                     27.08
Ellen Wright                    33.53
Chris Wright                    33.55
Sian Jones                       39.12
Lois Wright                      42.12

Well done everyone.

Pete's weekend - 16 & 17 November

Had a great weekend of runs. I ran the Worcester Parkrun on Sat and the Croome Capability Canter on Sun.

 

I manage to knock nearly two and a half minutes off my Parkrum pb at Worcester, which is largely a cross country bringing it down from 26m 44s to 24m 18s. 

 

On Sunday I was not sure if my legs would hold up for Croome which is a 10k cross country – including 2 wading streams. This being my first time doing a 10k Xcountry I was pleased with my  59m50s,  taking into account the slopes and fields and water involved. It was a fun event with a winning time of 40min.

Bedford Parkrun - 16.11.13

This morning three of us ventured over to Bedford for the Parkrun. Conditions were good but cooler than of late, thankfully the paths were also drier and less slippery than last week.

I tool the chance to run with Ellen and she managed a very good PB knocking 30 seconds off her previous best time.

The times were:

Les Potts             24.16
Ellen Wright        31.31
Chris Wright        31.33

Well done all.

Bedford Parkrun - 09.11.13

A slightly cooler but thankfully dry morning greeted parkrunners to Bedford Park this morning. The paths were still damp with lots of leaves which made things a bit slippery but thankfully this did not become an issue.

Three of us took part and the times were:

Chris Wright          21.41
Pete Jones            23.53
Les Potts               24.39

Falkirk Parkrun - 02.11.13

  

 

Whilst in Scotland for the weekend I took the opportunity to try a different Parkrun with the most convenient being Falkirk .

 

Oddly it takes place at 9.30am rather than our usual 9am in the grounds of Calendar House & Park. Needless to say it was very scenic and very cold. The course was undulating with virtually no flat parts – something we are not used to and was mainly on trail paths through some very nice woods.

 

I was 83^rd out of 160 runners coming in at 25m 50s.

 

Les

Bedford Parkrun - 02.11.13

I entered the Bedford parkrun this week after a few weeks absence. My time was given as 23.16 which was a few seconds quicker than I timed myself which was quite significant as that meant it was officially a PB whereas I had thought I had missed out by a couple of seconds. I finished 39th out of 168.
