New PB

Congrats to Emily for her new parkrun PB at the weekend. Well deserved for her hard work in training for Brighton Trail Marathon.

[Coach Simon 🍊 @PB_runnerUK]

Another Ultra on the CV for Anna who completed @centurionrunner 100 Hills 50K at the weekend. Despite the name, I think even she was surprised by the 1400 metres of elevation.

Well done to Team Orange members Andy & Sarah who both completed to Croft Motor Circuit 20 Miles in tough conditions at the weekend. Paris awaits
