Glasgow Parkrun 5k - Update

The Harriers continue to be well represented at the Saturday morning Parkrun 5k races in Pollok Park (every Saturday at 0930, free entry, register once only online). David Herbertson was tempted out for a second time this Saturday and joined a field of 133 for the 16th race in the weekly series. Perhaps more familiar with the course this time and definitely getting fitter, David improved his course best by 31 seconds finishing in 21:14 and 31st position.

Mary Goldsmith has been the most prolific Harrier at this event, competing every fortnight since the end of January. In the 4 events completed, her best time so far was 22:23 in her third event, a time that puts her well up the age group rankings.

Stuart Waugh, Stephen Phimister and Davie Searil have each made one appearance recording times of 20:29, 19:42 and 24:07 respectively. 

This is a great way to monitor your fitness improvement in a competitive environment without taking too much out of yourself. The times also count towards the Harriers Performance Awards, so lets see the Harriers continue to support this event.
