Keswick parkrun.
What a course 
100% tarmac out and back.
2.5km āuphillā turn round, come back.
Weather is grim and Iād forgot my inhalers.
Slow 22mins. Enjoyed it.

Windy AF at Bushy today, trotted round just over 20 minutes.
Wanted to take the nipper in the new (to us) running buggy but he was having none of it

More tourism for me today, local course but entirely trail with a twat of a hill you do twice 
Small field though, finished in about 22:25 which still got me 4th 
Probably the toughest parkrun Iāve done.

Weāre at Butlins in Bognor and Iād really been looking forward to parkrun, the course seemed to be tarmac and flat, but a few tight / dead turns. Even packed the Vaporfly and was preparing to give it full beans.
Youngest had other ideas, just before bed last night he exploded on the loo and then threw up. I spent the night with him, he was sick once more in bed and it felt like I had an hours sleep.
Didnāt really feel itād be on to leave everyone for an hour or so, especially as the wife doesnāt cope particularly well with sick.
Thankfully he seems ok this morning, touch wood.

Super windy and opposite to any sort of good time on the course - full headwind on the long false uphill drag, tailwind descent, cross head on the short hill. So I wasnāt gonna be fast, but after an easy long 18 last week, I was gonna go out hard as training for a good conditions week!
Did that, by the time I hit the hill (in about 18:40 pace) my chest was super tight and I felt ropey despite feeling okay for the first 2km and couldnāt stay with the two Iād just sheltered for all the headwind, slow second lap and a 19:4odd finish. 18:37 for the faster of the two I was with at the hill, heās normally about 10seconds ahead of me.

Saddo stat Iāve just found out is that my local parkrun, Albert (Middlesbrough) was one of the original ones that started off being called time trial before the rebranding. I knew it was one of the oldest.
Looks like thereās 10 of them, 3 in London.

Parkrun DNF for me this morning, thatās a new low 
.
Felt really off my game for the last 48hrs, listless both physically & mentally. Was off work yesterday but my get up & go had gone so there was no bike ride 
. Had hoped that a wee blast would snap me out of it but had to step off halfway through .
Hoping Iām just under recovered from the VK last Sunday & brick session on Wednesday.

More tourism for me today and the letter J 
Small parkrun and flyknitās werenāt the best idea when 50% was on grass 
Anyway, managed to lead from start to finish and finished just under 21 minutes.
Nobody particularly close behind after 1K so didnāt hammer it.
Also bloody freezing

Fucking great.

Headed to my home parkrun today at Albert Park, light wind but chilly.
Was a bit nervous when the first K was 3:46 
but kept going hoping I might finally get back in the 19ās, I clocked 19:29 so well pleased with that, especially after a chewy week at work.
Painful though fairly sure itās down to the Zwift races as Iāve done hardly any running at that pace!

Made it to parkrun. With the jog there and back came to just under 14km which is my longest run in a very long time.
Went medium fast today and felt ok but had to stop and retie lace 4 sodding times 
23 mins ish
Cold and now have windburn on my tummy despite 2 layers

At least the parkrun was ove 80% Age Grading - I thought it was 17:59, but maybe that was the new age gradings not the ones parkrun use.
