Clare Carr smashes her 10K PB

Run Preston 10K
Sun 8th July 2007

Before the race Clare & I chatted about our previous 10K best times and what we would like to achieve that day. Bearing in mind the course was pretty hilly and not considered to be conducive for a PB (personal best). Clare's previous 10K PB was just over 52 minutes, but she really, really wanted was to get that time down to less than 50minutes.

Well it just goes to show that if you really,really want something with a bit of sweat and a lot of perseverance your efforts will be rewarded. As Clare ("I don't like hills") went on to prove with a fantastic PB of 49m 36s - smashing 3 minutes of her previous best time. ( Even more impressively she was still smiling at the finish!)

This is a relatively new 10K held in Preston City centre, it is a great celebration of running including junior fun run, 5K run and a 10K run.

There were approx 500 runners in the 10K with a huge percentage of fun runners and unattached runners making this an ideal choice for anyone contemplating their 1st go at this distance.
