The Byxbee Parkrun course is deceptively slow. It is a double out and back and has 3 hairpin turns plus four pretty sharp corners. It's in a beautiful area of the Baylands shoreline. A municipal airport is nearby and small plans are often taking off. The course is all loose gravel, which is slow and chews up supershoes. If the timing doesn't work out for Byxbee, the Dolphin South End Runners puts on races with a $10 entry fee ($5 for members) most weekends in SF. This weekend, they have a 10k trail race from the Beach to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook in the Presidio. That course is massively hilly and slow. It's not uncommon for their courses to have a ton of elevation gain. They have a 5k road race with 500 feet of elevation gain.

Great running, particularly with the head wind/ I almost wonder if you would have been 5-10 seconds slower on the first mile if that would have led to breaking 16. Maybe not as you crushed the last mile and change. Great improvement. Maybe some longer distance to build even better cardio along with your great track workouts, and I think the number for you later this year might be the low 14 minute range?

@@wardfreeman7533 it was ridiculous a few friends of mine are gutted about the vets times and records.it was just with Spencer mentioning the records I though they were still a thing. Thanks for the info happy running
I thought it would be world record attempt 😂
Aye it was awesome meeting you brother, this is Roman btw
Setting a course record in those conditions is impressive. And 16:04 wasn't a super soft mark either.
Next up, perrigo parkrun record
I’m the local legend for bear hills
How do you know? didn't they stop showing times of other people on the website? i hope they don't make you disappear so the slower people don't get disheartened by others being faster. beginners should see who the slowest are for a track, if they can do it on a sunday they know they can join in no problem. I don't think the website even shows that now. Karens in charge if i'm not wrong.

@@zachd.4385 dirty sox. You log into the website and as of a few months ago they don't show the the full list of people times and break down by age and gender. Something about trans soaking up all the womens top times. Boohooo. how long women invading all male spaces?? they should accept a bit of DEI
Awesome 😎
I like your new series :)
Spencer I’m trying to beat my 5k time of 22:30 any tips?
I’m not Spencer but I used a Hal Higdon training plan to get under 22:30 for the first time ever. That and running to the point of feeling like death… then doing that for 4 more KMs!
@@jonl2938 thank you
👍
You should ask Matthew Choi for some help to get faster
Now my fastest 5k is a 14:27
Also your can run the fastest Parkrun in the World
My fastest 5k is 16:07
So, you know that parkrun doesn't have records anymore, right?

Parkrun is not a race
Was gonna subscribe but seen the "Better Help" advert and have disliked and am leaving the vid instead.
LOL! Out of shape with a 17min 5k... Get real bro
First
😊🎉🥇🏆❤ I haven't watched yet, but I hope Spence gets first tooooo!!!🙏😁
"Out of shape" runs a sub 18 5k... dont be so insulting. Most people take months/years to get to sub 20 so you were, in fact, not "out of shape"
To be fair he is talking about his standards (He has a low 14 minute 5k for his pr so for him sub 18 is out of shape) but yeah in general sub 18 for a 5k is not slow by any means. I have a 19:21 5k time as a sopohmore in high school and sub 18 feels pretty far away.
Parkrun/Parkwalk give me a freakin break. 😤
Its pointless runnjng fast in these events as they dont bother celebrating quick times anymore. Find it funny how they want to stop it from being called a race but you kept referefing to race every time! Its far from a run the race director mention. As a lot of people still treat it as a race.
You should just identify as a woman and then enter the woman’s division. Then you can break a lot of records 😂
