Tables as of 17th of November 2013

Hi all,

Its been 4 weeks since last update and there has been some improvement in the tables as shown in yellow highlight. Dawn Broom has run Leeds and Hull to make a strong late push on all the tables...go Dawn!

Good strong notable run also by Vince McGowan at Hull (first time under 19 minutes and he runs the same time of 18.57 twice! Simon Ellerker managed a PB at Sewerby paced round by Phill Taylor, I wish I could run that fast at Sewerby, maybe that could be a long term challenge to set myself now I am back fit! Well done Simon, can you go faster? Last and far from least Kristina Rose over the last few weeks has knocked off over a minute from her Hull time.....the hard work is paying off for Kristina. Well done.

Until the next time...

Tables as of 24th of October 2013

Its been a while, but there is not a lot of yellow updates! Come on everyone one last push? Since the last update Kristina and I visited Leeds parkrun and John Broom, without Dawn visited Hull. John now has some daylight over Dawn in the unique parkruns table and I have just inched ahead of Gregan on the overall time table. John Broom seems to be making some good progress of late on the overall time and age grade tables after a slow start to the year (on these tables) but can there be a late surge to the top? John has Graves, Leeds and Sewerby to tackle for further progress on events he has not run this year and Gregan just has Graves.

 

In the middle of the pack Kristina has just stepped ahead of Keith and Dawn with a strong run at Leeds, does she have her sights on  Simon and Dave who in the next top places ahead of her both sit on exactly 4:42:31 (what’s the chances of that!). Looking and comparing their times at different events is very interesting, sometimes there is over 2 minutes difference but then at Scunthorpe they have matching PBs!! Lots to play for there in that little sub plot.

 

Marathon season now nearly over for 2013, time for parkrun tourism maybe? Carry on enjoying your running everyone…im tail runner at Hull this week so I wont be uprooting any trees, not that I’m in the form to do that anyway at the moment.

 

All the best,

Tables as of 30th of September

So three weeks since the last update, and there is some change in the tables. Gregan Clarkson is now powering ahead on the Overall Time and Age Grade league, overtaking me, tut tut! Two fast runs at Sewerby and Pontefract has put him streets ahead at the top.

Vince McGowan has hit some form at Hull parkrun running a PB in the process and only being 1 second behind his new PB a week later. Well done Vince, good to see you past your injury troubles.

Simon Porter visited Peter Pan parkrun and that is his second fastest course out of Hull, Scunthorpe, Sewerby and York, with York being the fastest.

With the unique parkrun league being dominated by John and Dawn Broom, its still John who leads by one over Dawn. Two new parkruns (Doncaster and Maidstone) for them in the last three weeks and another visit to Dewsbury. 

 

One last shout out goes to Keith Conkerton who got a PB on his third run (second this year) at Poznan parkun in Poland. Well done Keith. Poznan is not in Yorkshire / pYL so no extra points for you! ;-)

 

So its getting colder now, soon there will be ice and snow on the roads and the footbpaths, time to knock one or two more trips off before it gets too cold and too dark....i must get to Leeds myself and maybe one or two others but soon it will be back to my local fabulous Hull parkrun week after week. Its great seeing and running different parkruns but there is no place like home! Ill try and update the leagues in 2 weeks time, but it maybe 3 again...you never quite know!

3 weeks since the last update, I always plan on 2 but sometimes it just cant happen. Hopefully when parkrun release an API (one is on the way) I will have the ability to use that to speed up the updates....

So in three weeks what has happened. Well Sheila Maddison managed her first sub 30 minute run at Hull since December 2012, which gives her a nice boost at passing that milestone this year. I bumped into John and Dawn Broom at York, who both ran round in just under 20 minutes, well done to them and for Dawn that is an age grade of 83.46% and is the highest recorded by any of us in the league this year. Well done Dawn.

John Broom in the last three weeks has run three different parkruns, where Dawn has only run two so John is sitting all on his own at the top of the league, will Dawn catch him now? Plenty of time left, I think Dawn may need to find a Saturday morning job one week for John to complete!

 

In terms of leading the overall time and age grade leagues I am sat there ready to be knocked off. As I have completed 7 of the 8 courses (i am missing Leeds) I am there by default. Who will knock me off?

 

That's all from this week folks, the weather is turning get those fast parkruns in while you still can!

 

As ever, any mistakes please let me know, next update will hopefully be in 2 week time.

Tables as of 20th of August

Yellow everywhere.

 

Got to start with Gregan Clarkson’s run at Hull this weekend. I think he surprised himself with a 15.59 and a age grade of 81.13% the first time at parkrun that Gregan has been into the eighties. Well done Gregan, great running.

 

Then there was a tour to York, with Sheila Maddison, Dave Playforth, Keith Conkerton, Stephen Taylor and Vince McGowan all going. All five had never run there before and even with a bit of wind there were some excellent times. Steve Taylor only 5 seconds slower then his Hull time, but Vince McGowan knocked out a run 4 seconds quicker then his best Hull time this year! The same two chaps knocked off good chunks of time off their Sewerby time the week before, well done.

 

On the unique  parkrun table over half the runners managed a new parkrun in the last two weeks, nice tourism! John and Dawn Brooms still lead the way and look to be in a commanding position. Will they be sharing the title or will one pip the other, or can someone catch them?

 

So is there going to be lots more yellow in two weeks time?

 

As ever if you spot a mistake please let me know:

Hello all,

The changes against last weeks tables are highlighted. Yellow for what has happened in the last 2 weeks, and orange was a update to Guy Gibson's time from 8th of June which I missed. Quite a lot of progress over the last two weeks...hopefully more to come in the next few weeks.

Thanks

Tables as of 22 July 2013

Its been a while, but im back and below are the updated tables for the pYL On the overall time I have left highlighted in yellow the changes since the last update. Congratulations must got to Stephen Taylor and Guy Gibson for improving on there previous times at Hull and Sewerby respectively and John and Dawn Broom logged a run at Peterpan parkrun. Stepehen Taylors time at Hull now is so very close to a sub 19 minute run, but can he do it this year?

 

In the unique parkun table John and Dawn Broom have extended their lead significantly by running at Cross Flats, Peter Pan, Marple and Clumber parkruns. They also ran for a second time at Rother Vally and I must say that is a very nice 1 lap course. Road trip anyone?

 

The updates will be more regular in the forthcoming period, ill aim for every other week.
