Parkrun

Lovely morning here today, touch breezy though.

I think I’ll be about 10 seconds or so over 20 minutes today. First time I’ve finished in quite a while where I felt like maybe I had a bit more to give. Quite the contrast to around six weeks ago where I was battered just finishing 5km.

Big 100 next week!

They ran, I walked. I tried a jog but it wasn’t great.

A few from my club did the pilgrimage to Bushy this morning but would be behind you as they’re both getting on.

One is among the leading parkrun attendees in the world! He’s closing in on 700!

I like Nick’s channel, watch a lot of his stuff. What do you reckon, good effort of dick move? He seems pretty respectful about it to me but :man_shrugging:

Bringing balance to the force with the people starting at the front with push chairs or dogs :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Ps. I wouldn’t bother trying that at Worcester, I reckon he’d do well to get halfway as the course is so narrow and first lap a non-starter

Yeah I think Dulwich is his local Parkrun, so I guess loads of people know him. I can’t see it going well if a complete ring in tried it.

Ain’t much difference to what Adam does every weekend when he turns up a few minutes after it has started :joy:

I mean I don’t intentionally mean to do it but lol yeah I think it’s ok with a big crowd. I’m always pretty respectful of others when I’m overtaking and will slow down if it’s too congested.

Did my home parkrun today with the plan of pushing a bit harder and seeing how it went. There was a 20 minute pacer but he went off at something like 18:50 pace so I held back a bit. He settled down after that and I could see him about 100m in front.

Was actually feeling pretty decent and picking off a few enthusiastic starters although it was getting a bit harder on the second lap.

Watch buzzed on 19:58 for 5K but I always get it a bit longer so finished about 20:22. I’ll take that as I wasn’t crippled afterwards! And there was a bit of a headwind in places.

Similar for me, except I adopted your pacers approach… went out too fast and then slowed. 20:07 for me officially. I’ll take that for 6th run of the entire year!

(it’s only my 12th run since Halloween!)

Well done, I think we’d have hit it the same week but we’ve had that many cancelled, I’m still on 95
