I hear that although this is showing 1st April it's not absolutely 100% yet... I will be there at some stage but not on the 1st !!

All updated. Al did indeed get his sixth PB in a row from a standing start. How far can he go before he goes slower? Cypto also moves up a couple of places with a PB which puts him into the crowded 24-to-25-minute mark.

As it happens, I'm not likely to be there on 1st April either, but I'll have to do it somewhen to get Hampshire done.

Update is done.

A PB for Geoff, who goes below 25 minutes, and al is STILL going faster each time he runs. Where will it end? That's seven PBs in a row from a standing start now. Geoff is ahead of crypto in the list because he has a higher AG%.

Nozza and GU got course bests, and Nozza did his 100th run.

We haven't met, so that'll be why. Also, I'm a dirty non-Londoner, so I've only made it as far as Banbury parkrun.

Rutland Water is a beaut. Also, lovely and flat, and today, not too windy.

Fastest time of the year at Bedford and by sheer coincidence it was their 300th run, The Mayor was in attendance, several folk in fancy dress and was a record turn out... :P

Gotta say I love this course, flat all tarmac and shaded...... This could well be my favourite parkrun course yet and would love it as my local :D

Another PB for al - eight in a row now, and he's about to move up another position at this rate.

A question for The Raven, what happened at Whiteley? I would have had a chance to finish ahead of you for the first time ever!
