Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
OK, the spreadsheet is updated here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Four PBs this week, from:
jamesthegill (57 seconds)
steeevooo (two seconds)
tractakid (15 seconds)
and me (one minute, nine seconds)
I went to Exeter Riverside and smashed my PB, simply because the ground is flat and even. I don't think I'll ever run that time at Plymvalley, but I reckon I could go faster at Exeter. We'll give it a go one week.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Going back through this thread makes interesting reading. Looking at the list, I wonder if I'll ever be able to catch the people ahead of me on the 21:xx times. And can I hold off the people behind me?

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Do you use a watch or phone to track your pace while running Neil. Or do you just turn up and run.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
My usual thing is to turn up with my watch, time myself, and then wait to see if the official results differ! I don't worry about pace, although I have started using the lap feature on my stopwatch to record my split times at various points of the Plymvalley run, so I can see if I'm faster or slower through each section each week.
