The parkrun thread

Recommended Posts

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.:thumbsup:

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.

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?

Poolsbrook parkrun (near Chesterfield) starting 2nd April by the way.

 

I do Dronny every year but not sure I`ll enjoy it after Grindleford. Expecting a PW!

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

That's a good point Joe! I've edited my post about it but it still appears in the quote in jemson's post...
