My non tail-running PW was 42:01 at Cranleigh when I was ill and shouldn't have run in the pouring rain which made me seriously ill and having to take 3 weeks off..
That aside it would be 37:08 at Lanhydrock
I have to discount my first ever run at Bedfont in a time of 38:08 as I went to the wrong car park and started about 2 mins behind everyone...

BTW that was my 150th completion today 8)

My own PW was when I ran with a slower friend. Did about 35 minutes or so.

Spreadsheet done. I'll work on a PW column at some point.

One hundred and fifty runs for GU, and Andi went to Poland, as you do.

Any particular reason why Mile End? I'll be at Pymmes if you fancy it for a 250th run celebration (not mine!)

According to RFF that gives you the following predicted running times:

5K - 31:14
One mile - 8:59

For comparison, my times (43-year-old man) based on today's run:

Best 5K effort- 24:37 (according to Strava's data from my run)
Best one mile time from today's 5K run - 7:49

Room for improvement. :)

I might be doing Oxford if you fancy that and will confirm when known.... Not sure if you have done that one?
