Night of the 10K PBs

On Saturday evening, Max Bishop competed in an invitational 800m race as part of the Night of the 10K PBs in Highgate – an international festival of distance running which includes the British 10,000m championships. In his first 800m race of the season, Max smashed his PB and established a new school record time of 1min 52.76sec. This also constitutes a qualifying performance for the English Schools’ Championships in July. A fantastic run, particularly whilst also balancing this alongside A Level revision.
