Brilliant running! I use Rocky 4 as my mantra “in a warriors heart there’s no surrender, when his body cries no his spirit says never” 😂

[@tworunningbrooms]

Haha, that's great! 🤣

[@TheFODRunner]

A trip back to Albert park is on the cards I think 😉 good work Dawn 👊

[@tworunningbrooms]

You could be right. 😅

[@paulwatt3265]

At Higginson parkrun there is a full size statue of Sir Steve Redgrave overlooking the Thames

[@tworunningbrooms]

Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@markhirdygirdy_runs]

I was about to say the same! Higginson parkrun in Marlow. Did it this year

[@simonbamford4045]

One day Penistone Parkrun will have a statue of you two! I got a mew pb yesterday at Rother Valley 21:57 so going in the right direction

[@tworunningbrooms]

Lol! 😅 Excellent new pb. Well done! 🏃‍♂️ 👌

[@RunThePlanet]

Brilliant 👍👍👍 Can't complain with that ! We could hear the 110% effort !

[@tworunningbrooms]

@@RunThePlanet LOL definitely an effort that hurt! 😅

[@timeonfeet]

We've got a Steve Ovett statue near East Brighton parkrun along the seafront down here but not on the parkrun route itself! Super running Dawn, look forward to seeing the return visit to get that extra second 😁

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, Dawn thought of Steve Ovett as we remember seeing him when visiting. 🙂

[@Misophone_barrone]

Amazing effort 🙌

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you

[@reelrun]

Fantastic job Dawn (and great pacer)! Joint record holder, congratulations! What an age grading too! Enjoyed this video, not least for the audible effort and the amazing work putting that run out after the runs you did in the days before, but also as this is my hometown local Parkrun and the first course I ever did back in 2014. I know the effort required on that uphill slope, gets me every time! Great to see some of my friends in the video, which I'll share with them, including Jason who finished just in front of Two Running Brooms!.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks! It's a super course, but yes, that slope gets you! Glad you enjoyed the video. 😁

[@IRunDaily]

Great running, Dawn! Also, massive kudos to the guy pushing the buggy. Depending on how old the child is, that's a serious weight to push! I do say things to myself out loud too... Usually not very nice things though at that stage of a run 😂

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, the guy with the buggy was very strong! 🙂

[@nathanprice4031]

Still an awesome run and was so lovely to meet you both in person! ☺️ keep grafting you two - absolute machines 💪🏻

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. A great run by you, too! 🙂

[@lazzaboyman8003]

No ParkRun’s for me until Christmas due to recovering from surgery but itching to get back! Well done Dawn nice run, hard luck on matching the record and not quite beating it!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Hope your recovery is going well! That first one back will be sweet! 🙂👍

[@andygaines7654]

I had a Birds Eye view of your attempt trying to keep up with you, put everything into a 22:47, last week ran 22:20 at Hartlepool so with no wind can be very fast. Hope I get a chance to chase you again soon well done Dawn that was awesome.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Many congratulations on your own time.👍 It seemed the day for putting everything into the run! We both look forward to doing Hartlepool but will make sure it's on a calm day! 🙂

[@fishyian]

Can't believe I didn't spot you. Well done on the time

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. Maybe next time when I return for another go...😅

[@markg99]

Brilliant commentary 😂 Very entertaining as always, and a great effort in the run.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks! 👍🙂

[@imogenrickell6417]

Just one second! I bet that was frustrating but I don't think you could have put in any more effort! 👏 I have an issue with single seconds too - today I equalled my home parkrun course PB for the 3rd time this year. Just can't find that one second! 😭😂

[@tworunningbrooms]

Just one of those days, but yes, frustrating, lol. 😁 Well done to equalling your parkrun time, but that 1 sec has to fall soon! 😀

[@imogenrickell6417]

@tworunningbrooms I actually know where it went this week. I was chatting on the start line and missed the 'Go' by 2 seconds 🤣

[@RunSensible]

Fantastic running guys. I love these Parkrun Vlogs - it really is such a fantastic event. Oh so close, Dawn. Oh so close...

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks, Neil. Maybe another attempt before the end of the year... 😅

[@RunSensible]

@tworunningbrooms I should think that would be a good idea. Just make sure it's not a wet and windy day. 💪

[@sheldon59]

Brilliant, Dawn, great effort, well done! 😅

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍

[@kjpr5641]

Amazing run Dawn both the time and age grading. Great performance

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍

[@CrownMyRun]

Love that passion!!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍 🙂

[@jamesstrutt2208]

Great run Dawn!! 🥇🏃‍♂️

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍

[@gtex1963]

Congratulations awesome run and great vlog

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍

[@UmopVlogs]

Absolutely fantastic work. Massive kudos

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you..🙂

[@gemmahodges7335]

Wow, amazing effort! 😃

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍

[@sotosabisu9724]

Well done Dawn :-)

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you 😊

[@Mack.Tracks]

Love that final push. Huge finish ❤

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. It was certainly a tough finish attempt. 😅🏃‍♀️

[@mijzzzz]

fabulous running! great commentary.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. 👍

[@TimGrose]

Good vid. “Funny” building excitement for something only you knew about. I would be a lot more pleased equalling a record than being a second slow so well done especially if not feeling it. I did ah hook up a camera to that buggy - they are allowed. I passed one today and thought well multiple camera mounting options…

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks, Tim. I was pleased, but not as much as 1 sec would've made me. 😅 Another attempt possibly before the end of the year. That guy with the buggy was moving some! He must be quite quick without it. Never thought of the camera opportunities... 😅

[@lisamiller6596]

Amazing! Well done 👏👏👏

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks, Lisa. 🙂

[@samsonslaphead1]

What a fantastic effort Dawn! That's a great achievement & one you should be very proud of. Well done 💥💪👏

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks, Kev. It was hard work! Lol.🙂

[@kathrynflannery2889]

I am always amazed that people pushing buggies can really motor along!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, it takes some strength.

[@PoetWithPace]

So close Dawn! You sounded in a lot of pain and hope you are ok now?

[@tworunningbrooms]

I'm fine. It did take more effort than normal, but my breathing soon settled after I finished. I've always been a good sprinter, so I can push to max on a sprint. 👍

[@davidmclucas2970]

Great running Dawn, have another crack at it soon. John how do you know Albert park in Melbourne? are you a motor racing fan? They have a huge parkrun there as well.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. John knows about Albert Park, Melbourne due to just general knowledge and me giving him some wrong facts about Albert Park, Middlesbrough. 😅

[@davidwatkins4286]

Interesting that your first trip to Albert in 2008 was the same day that Shirley Gibson set the Vet 60 target. Shirley was 20th that day, Dawn was 8th and I was 7th! Yesterday, 16 years later I was 17th, 3rd on age grade, behind Dawn in 1st place.

[@tworunningbrooms]

What a seiries of coincidences. We may well be back in the near future as 1. Dawn would like one second quicker and 2 I'd like to give it a bash and try to get within 3 mins of my pb.

[@davidwatkins4286]

Correction. Shirley set the record of 20:54 in 2009, not that day in 2008, when she ran 22:37.

[@lazzaboyman8003]

I’m also a cyclist so I use something Jens Voights (Tour de France rider) used to have written on his frame - “Shut up legs!”

[@tworunningbrooms]

Haha, yes! I sometimes say, "Come on legs." 😅

[@ianhearn9655]

Its a great parkrun and I ve done it a few times. It was my parkrun PB for a couple of years but its now Blyth ( further north). I have also ran hartlepool quicker. Great effort Dawn

[@tworunningbrooms]

We've yet to do Hartlepool, but we were saying today it's one we want to do.

[@paulcook7426]

I haven't done Hartlepool (though have done the Marina race) so if it's the course I'm thinking I bet it's as flat as near possible.

[@NickG24]

Pulled my calf trying a fast one there a few weeks ago 🤦🏻‍♂️ I think Hartlepool is quicker too, as long as it’s not too windy. Only one turn, almost completely flat so nothing much to slow you down other than wind.

[@tworunningbrooms]

@@NickG24 sounds 👍

[@craigtsmith6957]

do you know how dangerous running with both hands in pockets is - i had a colleague who did that walking through Paris. He turned to chat but hit a bollard and was in hsospital for weeks with multiple fractures and he was a young gun

[@tworunningbrooms]

It was a matter of seconds to the car and a slow jog. Thanks for sharing, and I hope the young gun healed well! 🙏

[@craigtsmith6957]

@@tworunningbrooms it was catastrophic for him. Thats why i share and i never ever move with 2 hands in my pocket. I am an engineer with a focus on Safety. Not being a troll - as many shoe-tubers accuse you of when you say anything that isnt inflating their egos! I enjoy your vlogs. and, sorry; well done on the record - i am fed up with Park Run because they cancelled all this. How do you know what the records are?

[@tworunningbrooms]

Safety is, of course, very important! The 5k app (purple background with white silhouette) still has the records. You go to Events the detailed stats and they are there.

[@AMostlyFunctionalJess]

Always amazed by people who can put down a max effort 5km. Such a horrible race distance!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Oh, the pain! 🤣 Actually, I quite like the distance, but try not to go max too often...😳

[@NickG24]

Hartlepool is faster on a still day 👍🏻

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, so a few folk have said. 👍We need to do that one, but will choose a calm day. 🙂
