A former Olympic runner has broken the Parkrun record while training in Edinburgh.
Scottish athlete Andy Butchart, 31, broke the record for 5km (3.1 mile) while running near Cramond on Saturday morning, June 24. Butchart finished the route in a blistering 13 minutes and 45 seconds.
The previous record set by fellow Olympian Andy Baddeley was just three seconds slower but had stood for more than a decade. Butchart competed in the 5,000m at the 2016 and 2020 games, reports the BBC.
