Re: 12 yr old running times, no expert here but that sounds pretty nippy. Not sure most 12 yr olds have the endurance to run 5k!
The JM10 record for my local parkrun is 19:18. JM11-14 is 17:24. JM15-17 is 16:17.
One kid has been running the local one for years (174 parkruns!), he clocked 19:55 the other week and he's still in the JM10 category. According to the results pages his PBs per year are:-
2018: 19:55
2017: 20:33
2016: 21:29
2015: 22:34
2014: 26:54
2013: 30:02(If he's 10 now then that 2013 time was probably when he was just 5 years old. Bonkers.)

Good work, great way to celebrate. Re: 12 yr old running times, no expert here but that sounds pretty nippy. Not sure most 12 yr olds have the endurance to run 5k!
A useful tempo run this morning, laps of the flat bit of Greenwich Park. Total 11.7 miles, about 7.5 of which was ~6m/m, and managed to pick it up for 5:41/m for the final 1.2 mile lap. Nice to finish inside target MP even if it felt harder, like it always does. 19 miles hilly off-road over North Downs Way planned for tomorrow. Box Hill to Oxted. Really looking forward to it, a good time-on-feet session.
