A great tune-up race highlights the spectacular weekend for Team RunnersConnect

Louise Mackinlay ran a 5k race and finished with a time of 25:39.

This was a tune up race. I’ve been running my 5km Park Runs around 27:40-50 for quiet a long time. Having a PB of 22:22 its been frustrating however since @dylan put me on this plan to improve my 5km I was thrilled to go about 2 minutes faster than I have for such a long time. I’d driven to my home town yesterday to celebrate what would have been my brothers 60th birthday this is a six hour drive. A late night and a early start to a Park Run an hour away picking up 2 nieces and a sister along the way. It was pouring rain, slippery and so much fun. Absolutely thrilled to have run this tune up and it was on my brothers actual birthday. His inspiring memory and trying to run down my husband and stay ahead of my nieces made it even better. I’m now believing I can crack the 25min 5km. Thanks Dylan & all at Runners Connect.
