Hilly as fuck and watch out for the Vietcong spike traps.gonna do my first parkrun this weekend. Chester park
There's just the one in Sunderland at Silky.Just been made aware of this. My local one is Lake Joondalup, doing it again tomorrow.
But, I’ll be in Sunderland at the end of October so want to fit that in as well. I think there’s more than one, but not sure. I’ll be stopping at the Premier Inn just down from the Empire if anyone can reccomend the closest one.
Did my first one today at Shields, timed myself at 25 minutes, how long do you wait for official times?
So that's why I can't get anywhere near my PB at the minute ( that's what I'm saying anyways).
I had feared it was down to me slowly turning into a fat bastard over the last few months
Whitley is my local too... I'm not a massive fan of the temporary route, just too many people crossing each other's paths. Especially into the second lap....
Didn't know about those incidents, but I totally agree, they both need fuckin banning. I'm a bang average 'plodder' (PB 21.50) and I'm equally as impressed by the elite runners and the lads and lasses coming in last. To call someone names, or push someone for being to slow is disgusting, fuckin prick!
Formal time was 24.59, came 94th out of 229 runners, not too bad for my first time out, 8 minute miles which is a lot faster than I’m used to.
Need to shed a half stone or so and keep running after the GNR, if I do u think I could get down to about 23 by Xmas.
7 minute miles, plodder??? Are you mad!
It’s a good job I only said half a stone then innit?It’s not impossible, though losing a stone in 3 months is a canny challenge mind
It’s a good job I only said half a stone then innit?
Are you going tomorrow?I'm still trying and failing to get a sub-21 time. I could do with just following a 20.50ish runner round the course as I seem to just get my pacing a bit wrong I think. Did a 21.27 last week when a bit hungover so reckon I've got the time in me.
I am mate. You headin over like?Are you going tomorrow?
