I did Netley Abbey to complete my name and we were on the B course due to an event, so we had a five and a half laps of the junior course.

i finally ticked off the curly wurly but the constant turning and turning forced my hamstring to pull up still an impressive 21m time hopefully i recover before this friday.

I can highly recommend Stavanger parkrun-a wonderful one-lapper round a flat lake, and then takes a tangent up a massive hill, but worth it for the panoramic views at the top.

Kungsängen parkrun was incredibly lovely too, a truly stunning parkrun through undulating forest trails. 1.2k out, 2.6k loop, and then 1.2k back (approx).

I can't recommend it though.

Probably Bethlem on Saturday!

My friends Charles & Phina from Worthing Harriers were also at Kungsängen on Monday, Charles scanned Geoff Marshall's barcode and also Paul Freyne's.
What a crazy small world that you guys all turned up at the same parkrun. I will add the results to next weeks update.

In the meantime here are the results from last week......

Thanks for keeping this up to date Soupy = one small correction:

I've completed stopwatch bingo - I got a 32 at Rushmoor

Well soupie finally has that one win against me as i was still injured from last week what a scenic parkrun durleston country park is upped my nendy by over 40km. only detraction is this has been over hyped sure it is hilly but i dont think its as bad as other parkruns that have hills loop 1 and 3 is runable plus the out and back but loop 2 and loop 4 does have a killer hill but i found mount edgecumbe worser.

I like to repeat this one when im better i dont usually repeat but this one i will.

Back to Black Park for the final Fibonacci number - and about 100 people had the same idea!

I was glad of the shade from the trees as it was a warm day - but a lovely run in the forest

I have to disagree, at Mount Edgcumbe the incline is not bad at all, it is gradual and I have no problem to continue running. Durlston is an absolute killer, I didn't have to walk on the first loop, but I ended up walking on loop 2, out-and-back, loop 3 and loop 4. I've never had to walk so much!!!
I'm in good form at the moment and 26:32 is actually my slowest ever time for a proper run (I have run slower but usually when pacing someone else).

It was nice to finally finish ahead of you, but a shame that you were injured. You are still 5-1 up I think?

and here is this weeks update.....

Hastings today with Andy and boy was it hot! Am out and back course with one section on two levels - so you run under cover for half a mile. Great PB potential as it's near as damn it straight, so just the one U-turn at the half way point. My fastest time for years!

150th Parkrun for me today at Lancing BG and the heat was too much!

Thankfully the heat had already gone at Ashbourne today, with a downpour arriving at 1000 to cool things even more.

i still have some healing to do was running really well keeping up with the 20m pacer could have gone faster but then 1km pop the muscle goes again i got no confidence in it. so waited up for iain to pass and paced him all way to end.

Managed to jog Bedfont Lakes this week on sprained ankle and anyone that knows the course will realise it has absolutely zero shade and was so hot in London yesterday. Delighted to not have to walk or being in condition to go a minute per km faster!

No heat for me at Penryn Campus, just overcast and a little drizzle. 3rd place which equals my best position.

Here are the latest stats.....
