I love it at parkrun when some absolute machine turns up and runs an insane time like this. My local is 3 laps so if you get lapped early you know something special is happening, they always seem to make it look so easy too.

Fastest I’ve ran at is when someone did it in 15:01. It was a four lapper and I’ve never been lapped so quickly.

Yeah, when our course record got set (around 15:11 I think) the guy came springing past me like I was running through treacle. Later found out that he had run from home about 10k just to get to parkrun

That's insanely fast. Holy moley.

That’s insane! Someone did 15:50 at the parkrun I went to today. Only 15 seconds off the course record!

Hardly seems worth getting out of bed if you're going to complete your run in a quarter of an hour.
You need to spend at least twice that long to properly appreciate the surroundings, the volunteers, and your fellow participants.
She's young. She'll learn how to improve her parkrun experience ;-)
