Tube Challenge parkrun league...

[tractakid]

Just ordered my (free) parkrun volunteer shirt, through the new sponsor - available to anyone who's done 25 or more volunteer roles. they're a very attractive shade of purple, and can also be used as running tops. and they're free. free i tell you!

Not done enough volunteering yet, though I did manage to get two credits this weekend and will get another next! (all without missing a run)

Still plodding along in the warm and windy weather. I'm halfway to a shirt now.

Well found away of getting to Exeter earlier giving myself 40 mins from station to Parkrun. It just involves a coach at 4 am.

nutter. I thought my 0537 train to Long Eaton was nuts.

No run for me today. Finished work at 03.15, so didn't fancy getting up again at 07.45.

Actually went to parkrun for the first time in months today
Went to Fulham Palace, a nice 3 lapper that is not too busy, very much recommended!
No pb but a fast time (for me) 22:30.
Need to run more!!!

I nearly went to Fulham this morning, but went to Burgess instead

[nozzacook]

No run for me today as they were short of marshals so a spot of volunteering instead.

Yes, running more, especially parkruns, is a good thing!

Many of the Tube Challenge parkrun crew went to Fulham Palace back in March. It's a nice run, but quite narrow on the stretch alongside the Thames.

Slightly faster plodding on Southsea promenade for me today.

Very pleased with my run at Horsham yesterday, on a new course with no km markers and high percentage of the route on grass. I Didn't expect a PB but with a few hundred meters to go my stopwatch indicated that a PB was within my grasp. Gave it the beans on the slight downhill into the finishing funnel and somehow managed to shave 6 seconds off my previous best, coming home in 36th position in 22:03. (age graded at 66.89%). After I got my breath back went to find Kevin on his final lap and tried to pace him home, he managed 30:23 picking off at least 5 runners with his finishing sprint. I honestly don't think I can go much quicker and it will be at least another six weeks before I can have another crack.

And we have an update to the spreadsheet. Tractakid gets a big PB, and scrxisi becomes the first person to run a Parkrun overseas, in Australia of all places.

The age grading for Tractakid (53.33%) and me (66.89%) have also improved, that moves Tractakid up one position ahead of *****

[tubeguru]

Fixed.
