Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Back at Hove today for my second Parkrun, after a couple of training runs I've managed to take a big slice of time from my PB, coming home in 23:34.
I'm well pleased with that and was really helped by a pacemaker who was running at 24 minute pace, many thanks Mike Baldwin (not he of Coronation Street).

One day I shall return!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Just looking at The New years days parkruns and I could probably get two done in the same day in my area with some runs at the usual 0900 slot and others at 1000 / 1030

I normally end up running about 5km on the Park Challenge anyway.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
It is very doubtful that the Christmas Park Challenge would be on a Saturday again... We just got lucky last year with no real weekend line closures...
