Well done and many thanks to all our Carnegie pacers at the Edinburgh parkrun on Saturday. There have been many positive comments received from runners who took part at the parkrun with many of them setting PB’s. The email below was received through our club website from a member of Portobello Running Club;
“I would like to use this opportunity to thank Carnegie Harriers for providing PACERS at the Edinburgh Park Run on saturday (30 October 2010). Specifically, I have to single out the 20-minute pacer, Ian. It was with his help and encouragement that I managed to wipe a massive 48 seconds of my PB, and most importantly go under 20 minutes! Great support, and very much appreciated. Thanks again”
