Race report by Emma:
Heaton Park 10k (Garmin reckons it was 6.86 miles) this morning- chip time 01:04:28. Was 5th in age category out of 17.
Didn’t run this for a PB, used it as training run and managed to beat my course time from 2023, which was 01:06:41.
It was a busy day with a 5k (1 lap), 10k (2 laps) and a half marathon (4 laps) all on at staggered times.
Although it wasn’t raining for the majority of the course, the wind was out in full force. The hills seemed a lot harder in the wind
A small section of the original course was barricaded off so we did a slight out and back over a patch of grass.
Most of the route is on tarmac, with a small section taking us through the woods. Scenic past the lake.
Lostockers were on tour at Parkrun this weekend: Katie Edern ran 31:33 at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh to finish third in her age category, while Rachel Stevens produced an excellent run at Oosterplas Parkrun in the Netherlands, finishing in 26:45 to place eighth overall, second female and first in her age category.
