Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Hampstead Heath with Andi for me - gorgeous scenery but seriously hilly with a long uphill to the finish, except for the last 50 yards. There was another obstacle, with someone deciding to walk across the front of the finish funnel as I was sprinting the last bit, leading to me needing to take drastic evasive action.
Six left for Londone, with a few hilly ones left like Gladstone

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Even I broke my leg I hobble round on crutches. Hampstead heath was a lovely Parkrun if a terrible start hence the time. A lot slower than usual. Although hills I powered up all of them felt really good rest next week

as only sat I couldn't get out working.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I think Andi left out an "if"
Valentine's last week and then Gladstone today - both really picturesque parks although today was significantly hillier! One runner completing Londone today, sadly we didn't get to chat. Four left for me

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Is that where you were I didn't like the 1st hill at hilly fields but the 2nd was OK. Not my best time but satisfactory and now 15 days sober.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Mile End this weekend - a two lap out and back course. Only two hills but because you do them in both directions each lap, that's eight climbs so hillier than I expected. A lovely run though, in the good company of Andi and Das

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Morning all, this was my last week at Royal Mail so I'm hoping to have a few more Saturdays free to do Parkrun. This will depend on bookings that I have at the Escape Room that I will shortly be opening in Worthing. My first booking slot is at 10:00 so doubt I will run if I have an early booking. Today was my first Parkrun in 14 weeks, and was very happy to finish in around 22 minutes
.
Regarding the league table, I see that this hasn't been updated since January, If tubeguru is no longer doing this I'd be happy to take over?
What do you all reckon?
