The parkrun thread

I think Sheffield Castle is a tougher course than Graves, but Castle is probably a bit under 5k where as Graves is 150-200m long.

[jemson 10]

I`m about 40 seconds quicker at Castle.

[Flanker7 20]

Lots of runners think Castle is most fun.

 

Who would have guessed these minor positions in the stats:-

 

Male record = 1-Hallam 15:23

2-Hillsborough 16:13

3-Concord 16:27.

4-Castle 16:53

5-Graves 17:43

 

Female record = 1-Hallam 16:56

2-Concord 18:03

3-Hillsborough 18:27

4-Graves 19:31

5-Castle 19:43

 

Ave Time = 1-Hallam 26:22

2-Concord 26:28

3-Hillsborough 26:58

4-Graves 29:11

5-Castle 30:50

You get a lot of people walking round at Castle, which I think probably explains the slower average times. It's definitely faster than Graves though, if you're running. My PB at Castle is 1:50 (almost 2 mins) quicker than my PB at Graves. That's with no short-cuts!

 

EDIT: My bad. That was the difference between by personal bests at Hallam and Graves. I'm only 1:02 faster at Castle than Graves.

Puddle report from RV - Still a couple of big 'uns where the sun doesn't get to (you will still get wet feet) - everything else gone. Amazing how it drys up...

Thanks for the update - can you run around these puddles as I don't fancy wet feet?

No - as of last night - there were still a couple of really big uns which you would have to tip toe round the edge of.

 

Suppose it depends how badly you want to go faster

[Flanker7 20]

I've just noticed there's another Age Group Category - JM10 & JW10.

It's a bit scary how fast they go, 5th overall for one of ours!

Its back dated too - the parkrun boffins are quite excellent.

RV = rather windy!!!!!
