Now that is what I call fast, I am sure it won't be long before she runs a sub 15 minutes 5K, however, that would probably be on a 400 metre running track rather than a parkrun, she is way up there with all those elite runners.
Almost half the time of my 5K PB 🤣
If she was at the parkrun I go to she would probably lap me twice, I am quite used to see men who are in the 25/45 age group lapping me but if I saw a 12 year old girl doing that, 🤣🤣🤣sensational. 😊 🏃🏾

Amazing! I could probably keep up with her for about 10 seconds before collapsing in a heap.
