sharpend   11 #937 Posted February 3, 2016 I did the Hillsborough Parkrun for the first time yesterday! Considering it was only about the 5th time I had run, I was happy enough just getting to the finish without having to stop. 37.23 isn't a great time, but now I have something to aim to beat!  nice work - After 4 or 6 weeks of ... suffering... you will see your times starting to drop.

rvparkrun   10 #941 Posted February 23, 2016 Just a reminder.  We're cancelled this Saturday (27th Feb), due to the Duathlon taking place at RV. We're back on 5th March.  A well earned rest for the volunteers, and an opportunity for some tourism, for our runners.  Decisions............decisions.  Rvp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jemson   10 #942 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Poolsbrook should be a quick one. It`s a mile around the water so 3 laps, I suspect. Very flat and not as susceptible to huge puddles as RV but those geese are a real pain! Is it definite?

Flanker7   20 #947 Posted March 11, 2016 Re: Poolsbrook - Oops! I just received a mild reprimand from Graves fb site  "Graves parkrun - We weren't going to advertise it too widely yet as we want to keep numbers down to start!"  Stratford-upon-Avon loved their 450 on Event 1, No.2 = 202 No.3 = 224 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
