Got my parkrun pb yesterday. Set my last one in 2020, so really happy to get this one. 22minutes, looking for sub 21 this year on an easier course if I can.
I think my first park run time was around 35 minutes took me months to break the 30min barrier but once I did I was knocking off 30 secs every week.. PB is 25:26. Struggling to go sub 25. I know it will come like your sub 21

It'll come mate, Ive started doing one training session each week and its made a big difference.

Also make sure you start at the front.

Best bit of advice I can give ref the above messages on Parkrun is to try and do an intervals session once a week where you are running at a faster pace than your PB pace. Oh yes and starting on the front line at Parkrun also; don't worry bout the fast guys...they won't even notice
I started in 3rd and came 10th, apparently I am one of the fast guys now.

I second the interval sessions - horrible doing them, but you definitely reap the rewards if you do them consistently.

20 mile long run today which included 3 blocks of 5 miles with a 1km slow jog between each. Block times of 31:20, 31:10 and 31:40. A few long runs left before the big day. Tested the chosen marathon shoes and used a few gels on the way. Pleased to get it done.
