There was a good turn out of old and young at this year's edition of the Christmas track parlauf where runners were paired up to have a go at covering as many laps of the track as possible in 30 minutes. Andrew Bishop and Nathan Young were the outright winners - Andrew is a parent who has been bringing his 11 year old son to the Monday sessions for the past year or so and both he and his lad have made great progress. Nathan needs little introduction as a true running machine. Between them they ate up the track and left all in their wake. Simon will compute the results and we will place them on this report when they are available. (photo below by Paul of the nervous parlaufers before the event!)
