Athlete sets new UK Parkrun record for fastest female runner
By Amy PhippsAn athlete has set a new UK Parkrun record for the fastest female runner while training for the London Marathon.Parkrun holds free group running events at nearly 800 locations across the UK.
Ms Harrison - who is a professional long-distance runner - said she usually trained on her own so joining her local group was "good fun".Ms Harrison, who lives in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, said it was one of her training partners that suggested attending."I knew having a little bit of company would push me more than running on my own."She said it was intended to be a "hard session" but she had not set out to break the record.
The time - which shaved 12 seconds off the previous record set in Cardiff - was also an off-track personal best for herself, she added. The route was not without its challenges - dodging pushchairs and dog walkers - but Ms Harrison said that made it "more exciting".One person said: "Amazing Samantha well done smashed it."
