Park Run

Saturday 3rd November saw JFS runners compete at the Roundshaw Parkrun. With club runs on the same day and a couple of runners retiring from the race mid-way through it was depleted numbers, but still very beneficial to the boys. Well done to Matt and Paul for their PBs!

Parkrun this Saturday

With no league fixture this weekend, we will once again be competing in the Roundshaw Parkrun this Saturday.

 

There are thousands of these 5k (3.1 miles) races every Saturday all across the UK and wider world – it has become a running phenomenon. It is a public event open to anyone and is free to enter. Therefore, if any parents or siblings want to run this Saturday you are more than welcome.

 

The race is 2 laps of the old airfield behind our playing fields and the boys will be timed and the results are published later that day on the website. Information can be found at www.parkrun.org.uk/roundshaw/

 

The distance will be a challenge to some of the younger age groups who have less experience and so if the Year 7 runners wish to stop running at the end of the first lap they can do so – I will be at that position. If they feel fresh they can, of course, complete the course.

 

We will meet at the Pavilion at 8.15 as the race begins at 9.00. If you want to meet us at the start of the race itself, details are on the link above, but basically the start is near to the Battle of Britain Memorial on Purley Way.

 

If you have never run a Parkrun you will need to register before the race online. You will then have to print off a barcode which you carry in your pocket when running. This is then used to link the time to the runner. If you have registered before, remember your barcode this time!!

 

I will be available in Room 72 throughout the week, and in particular Friday lunchtime for any runners who need to register and print off their details.

Parkrun Success

A big cross-country squad ran at the Roundshaw Parkrun on Saturday morning, getting vital miles in the legs and stamina overall for school events to come.

For the Year 7's this was their first outing representing the school, and what a strong tradition they have joined. Running 3 miles is a daunting proposition for those unused to that distance but all acquitted themselves well

The results are below, with the times ran for the 3.1 miles course. 2 runners competed at different Parkruns and their times are added below.

Pos	Name	Year	Time
1	Harry Smith	11	19.02
12	Peter Edwards	10	21.10  PB
13	Ebuka Nkamuo	8	21.19  PB
16	Joe Conroy	9	21.35
18	Jhon Hilario	8	21.47
32	Paul Hewitt	8	23.07 PB
34	Marcus Littlewood	8	23.10
42	Jonny Miles	8	23.59
50	Jack Hession	8	24.26
62	Joe Roberts	9	25.00
65	Emmanuel Victor	7	25.04
66	Calvin Kilama	7	25.14
70	Matthew Conway	8	25.30
81	Fabien Opoku	7	26.56
96	Jacob Horle	8	28.20

126	Sebastian Riofro Cabre	7	31.40
128	Luke Casey	7	31.54

The JFS runners wait for the start

Well done to Harry for his win, despite a dodgy hamstring. Highlights were the PB's by Peter, Ebuka and Paul, and a great run by Jhon Hilario. Well done to Emmanuel for being the first Year 7 in, and congrats to all involved, 3 miles is not mean feat. There were 172 runners of all ages running.

Well done also to:

Gianluca Ercolano: Banstead Woods Parkrun  19.48, 11th
Jacob Jones: Lloyd Parkrun 19.28, 11th

WELL DONE TO ALL WHO RAN

HOME RACE NEXT SATURDAY!
