27:55 (51.58%) at Southsea yesterday. Surprised I could even move for the R15.
Also, second largest turnout ever at Southsea, beaten only by the inaugural run.

I know I didn't run at parkrun, but Saturday was the freshest I have felt after a full network. The first few times I did one I was completely wiped out the next day. I think I can only have parkrun to thank for the improvement!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Out of interest (and this is another very dodgy comparison), today at CrossFit we ran a total of 5.8k over a series of runs with rests between them. The format was:
1 mile, 800m, 400m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1 mile.
I did them all in a total of 28:28. The mile course starts off steep uphill for the first 700m, before dropping down gently back to the start. I wonder what my 5k time would be based on this highly scientific analysis ... and a flatter, softer course.

Once I've done some more running I may go and investigate my local Parkrun. It's in some nice woods somewhere ...

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
No reason why you couldn't start doing parkrun now. The point of parkrun is to get people into running of all abilities

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I've got no choice but to like running now I find myself doing it a couple of times a week on average. I only didn't like it before because I didn't have to do it!
