There are currently 333 runners on the leaderboard who have improved their handicap score in the race they did this weekend. They will all be entered into the prize draw for the Polar FT4 Heart Rate monitor along with anyone else who clicks their clock and sees a % improvement from their race this weekend.
James Phillips (handicap 26.1) has made the biggest improvement, so far. He ran the Wimbledon 10k, on Sunday, and made a 2.301% improvement, since last week, for his time of 61:37. Interestingly, this time was more than 2 minutes slower than the 10k he ran in Salford the week before but Wimbledon was given an SSS of 0.8 whereas the Salford 10k was given and SSS of 0.5 and so James' handicap improved at Wimbledon where it was considered to be harder to a run fast time.
Paul Warburton (handicap 10.9) (pictured above) also made a good improvement of 1.841%, when he ran the Hastings parkrun in 20:29 on Saturday.
Brenan O'Grady (handicap 0.0), meanwhile, was representing his club, Sunderland Strollers, at the Northern Men's 12 Stage Relays and covered his four mile leg in 21:35 to take his handicap score down by 1.772%.
A double whammy of racing this weekend gave Carey Dyer (handicap 13.9) a 1.750% improvement after running the Hanley parkrun on Saturday in 29:46 followed by the the Newcastle 10k on Sunday in a fabulous 47:00. It was the 10k at Newcastle that gave her the spike on her graph that she needed!
Other parkrunners to improve were Lora Forster Hughes (handicap 20.3) who ran the York parkrun in 24:32 for a 1.530% improvement; Lucy Goff (handicap 19.1) who covered the 5k route in 26:44 at Wimpole Estate, for a 1.356% improvement; Cate Campany (handicap 22.0) who was at the Barclay parkrun making a 1.330% improvement for her time of 26:32 (which took almost three minutes off her previous time) and Claire Palfrey (handicap 17.9) who ran the Dalby Forest parkrun in 24:35 and made a 1.174% improvement.
Paul Morton (handicap 15.7) was amongst the 3,770 runners that did the Wilmslow Half Marathon. Paul ran 1:42:44 and made an improvement of 1.109%.
