With all those PB's this weekend and the time trial this evening at training, I thought it would be interesting to look at how people have improved over the last few months at Parkrun.  Using the best time ever achieved at Netley up to and including the 3rd May as the benchmark, the table shows everybody who has improved there PB since then.  

A busy weekend of Park running.  With representation at 5 different events, 29 runners, 12 PB's at Netley and 1 first timer Antony McGinnes.

The red, white and blue snake is a picture to behold.

Great effort by everybody who took part.
