I reckon I could have improved my time but was stuck right at the back at the start, was almost walking pace going around the rugby pitch. Will know for next time, definitely do it next yearGood Going mate , after reaching the top of the 2nd hill i basically coasted the last 3k down to the finish, had nowt left in the tank for a sprint

Was first time for me aswell, i eas lucky as my cousin had originally entered but couldnt do it so he transferred his number to me, was number 130 so got away pretty much in behind the elite runners so didnt have too much traffic in front of me.
Was a nice course though so will definitley be back

I havent but I've looked around at watches quite a bit as was thinking of changing mine and was more converted to Coros, the thing that might keep me Garmin is the PacePro functionality can see that being good for races.
My shortlist at the minute as I only run is the Garmin 245, 945 (cos of the map over the 245) or the Corus Pace 2 (as it has built in power recording without stryd).

I've lost about 15 seconds a mile from my pace since my calf/Achilles injuries. But I'm just pleased I'm able to get back out again.

If you're worried, buy a garmin. I've had my garmin fenix 5x for 4 years now and it hasn't skipped a beat.

For a watch I have upgraded this year to fenix 5 plus (bought it refurbished from amazon for around £350) and it's been perfect & has easily lasted 5-7 hour trips out with more to spare. I like that it gives you the upcoming hills and shows your progress on them, the maps feature when on trails & fells, and the "back to start" feature bailed me out when lost in mist on northumberland hills.

I'm back in Sunlun now. If I want to do the parkrun at Silksworth, what do I need to do? I know I need to register online, but what do I need to do on the day?

I done the local one just down from where I live a couple weeks ago. Think I got there about 10-15mins before it started, was about 50 people I'd say.Cheers. How early do I have to get there? And does anyone have a printer..?

A couple minutes from the start will suffice. I can print them off and post them if you want.Cheers. How early do I have to get there? And does anyone have a printer..?
Back into running regularly after letting things slip Jun/Jul, not sure if it was cooler morning, new trainers, new playlist, or good night's sleep, but set new PB. Roll on Autumn!

Wanna race like?
Where do I scan the barcode, do I have to go up to the ski slope or is it just near the start line?
Ha, cheers. I think I've got a printer somewhere, if I can't find it I might take you up on it.

If your there early enough there'll be a first timers briefing.
Basically keep hold of your barcode, you get handed a barcode at the finish line, then get that and your barcode scanned and you hand the barcode rheey gave you back.
Dead simple
