Any Runners On Here??

No running until this vertigo episode passes.

Just done a 5k run. Thermometer is still say 30 degrees and it felt it.

4 miles @ 8min mile pace, felt actually quite good and maybe could of continued for longer. Not bad considering I did my usual sprint session commute on the bike lol.

3.2 this morning. Part of my route has been ploughed, which slowed me right down. That's my excuse for a 9 minute pace.

1st Parkrun for me, really enjoyed it good craic ! Oh and 5k PB if 23.35 ! I could of gone quicker as well, as relaxed a bit after the first mile. Anyway it’s not all about that is it

Ran my 1st Parkrun this morning.... at Chipping Sodbury in South Gloucestershire.
Nice event with lots of friendly volunteers & fellow runners.
Good flat course, managed to do it in 31:41.

300 runners in today's event. Just had results email.

My wife started running in March, initially on the treadmill at the gym, then joined a local Couch to 5k group in April and did her first parkrun in June. She's been averaging around 42 minutes, with a PB of 41.42, but today I ran as 40 minute pacer, finishing almost bang on the 40 minute mark, and she finished a few seconds ahead of me. Very proud of her. Annoyingly, though, the official results seem to be a bit skewed today, so she's been given an official time of 40.03 (and I was given 40.14, which is definitely not right). Grrr!

Lately, I've been doing a lot more parkrun volunteering, rather than running for myself. Current level of fitness is such that I'm not able to achieve a time I'd be happy with so I'm finding other ways to get some enjoyment from my running - I was even tail walker a couple of weeks ago, which was fun, and I've been talked into being a run director as well.

I'm keen to start getting my fitness back though, and start clocking some decent times again.

Nice one @smutchin No running for me today as I was Run Directing, in fact I haven't run since last Sunday. Having now had a glass or three of the vino I won't be running today, so will target to do a run a day starting from tomorrow with a freedom run at the junior parkrun in the morning

 

[DRHysted]

Quite happy with this

We had a celebrity Olympic gold medal winnings starter at today’s parkrun.
My new claim to fame is that I managed to lap Christine Ohuruogu.
But she was the tail end Charlie so it doesn’t really count.

We were supposed to have a taekwondo bloke, but same as the boxer last year he never turned up.

She came last in a very poor time of 59mins 43 seconds.
She needs to get back into training

Yesterday's Dog Jog was sweltering. Only 3.2 miles, but by God they were hard ones. I was also concerned for Lemmy in the heat, so didn't press on too hard and let him slurp at each water stop. 32 mins, slower than the proper racers, faster than everyone else - my usual spot on my own in the middle.

 

[BrumJim]

22 seconds quicker than my PB on Parkrun yesterday, and 45 s quicker than last week. Happy!

Anyone doing the Birmingham Half Marathon Sunday just out of interest? Its a great race to do
