Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Sounds like my type of course. I've heard back from some at Penrose and the mud is getting worse. I hope it's switches to the alternate course as well.tubeguru wrote:I have no idea what the alternative course is, but it sounds hillier.nozzacook wrote:Yes met Neil at plym valley this morning for a muddy little run in 27:12 a course best time.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Here it is then, the latest update: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Course bests for dudey and nozzacook, and a forum day out at Brockwell.
There are a few milestones coming up. Nozza is almost at 50 runs, and tractakid and GU are each one away from running 50 unique courses. Geoff is two away from 150 runs overall, and GU is four away from 100 runs. And how long can he keep his streak of runs going?
Next week's Plymvalley run may be held over the "alternative" course, due to the National Trust wanting to give the meadow a bit of a rest after a few weeks of us tearing the mud up in it something rotten. Plus the "lake" is now encroaching onto the course to the point where we have to run round it, thus adding distance to the run! The alternative course is hillier, which sounds like fun.
Oh, I just noticed it's Matthew Cook's 20th birthday today, so his next run will be in the SM20-24 age category.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
The Milton Keynes results were late in last night, so I've updated the table with Rik's run from yesterday.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
True but as I'm finding if I don't know the courses I'm unable to practice and know when to pick up pace or not,yesterday 3 to 4km I was running a lot faster then tailed off if I had stayed and left it to that last km I think been under 21nozzacook wrote:Or train for it.palkanetoijala31 wrote:I'm finding that I can comfortably run under 22m although under that 20m barrier i need to find course and conditions
