5km Masterclass Update
Saturday saw the second 5k Parkrun progress check for the Dash for Fitness Winter 5k Masterclass, in association with Hillingdon Athletic Club.
Once again, the Masterclassers were in fine form. Arunima beat her PB by a stonking 2 mins 4secs; Bhavesh managed to smash his already speedy 22:48 PB by 20 secs. Rohit, in running 25:25, not only beat his PB by a staggering 2 mins 45 secs but also managed to achieve his end of Masterclass goal. Incredibly, he was not alone in doing so, with previous non-runners: Cindy, Fauzia, Jane, and Thomas all beating theirs. Fauzia impressively took over a minute off her PB; Jane remarkably took over 2 mins off hers; and Cindy and Thomas unbelievably took over 3 mins off theirs. In fact, Thomas now has a PB of 28:31, despite this being only his second ever 5k and the first one that he has run continuously. All the Masterclassers now have a further 4 weeks of training before the FINAL progress check on 10th March.
