Think I read something like 14 and a half hours...!
Depending on which side of 14:30 that will be the third or fourth fastest time ever!
Well done her. I've not heard of her, what else has she done?
50 mins off ladies BG record in 14.34.26
She did Shipley Parkrun Noel in 19-31. It’s two laps and there’s a much bigger hill than I expected when I did it
It'll be the 4th official fastest time ever (KJ, BB, RJ), though in actually the 5th as there was tat scottish bloke from COlorado who did 14:20 but mainly unsupported a few years back.
One of those runners where I know the name but not really the results, She's got a fair palmares on her: https://www.bethpascall.com/race
It seems she's taken a sabbatical from work as a paediatrician this year and was aiming at UTMB and Western states , so will have the frustration of not racing those channelled.
I think the BG club should hold a moratorium on use of the phrase 'FKT'
Just updating the splits for the ladies' summer record. Beth was faster than Jasmin on most of the tops, losing time, mostly just a minute, on just nine tops but she'd immediately claw that back and more on the next couple. Time and gains per leg were:
Leg 1: 2:34 - 10mins
Leg 2: 2:51 - 12mins
Leg 3: 3:56 - 11mins
Leg 4: 3:17 - 11mins
Leg 5: 1:56 - 6mins
Amazing effort! Well done!
I totally agree, there is something unseemly and American about it!Quote:

Not that I normally listen to it but she is about to be on Woman's Hour on BBC4 this morning.Or perhaps in her case Woman's 14 hours!

Ryan Smith, 14:17 in 2017. But he was unsupported for bits, hence no contact with the BG club.
He also went to the wrong Great End summit, so we'll dock him a minute or 2 ;)

There was a thread about his attempt here - https://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/show...tempts-the-BGR
Looking through my emails there's an email trail between, Ryan, Morgan and myself, completely slipped my mind that we'd conversed. At the time we (well I) didn't record solo or part solo rounds, occasionally I'd get a form along with a note along the lines of "This is is for your records, I understand and accept that it isn't a qualifying round", so I don't have anything beyond what's in his blog about the Round. I do now record non-qualifying rounds, as well as second/subsequent rounds so I might drop him a line.
