10k PB

One of the few downsides to doing parkrun for me is missing my long run at the weekend so I thought I'd do it this morning instead... knocked about 40s off my previous best. Well chuffed... really need to focus on 10k now ready for my first race in June. Lots of hill work methinks!

Wowsers!!!! That is brilliant!

And  just think... I was so thrilled when I managed nearly 7K in 50 minutes...you are speedy.

I think , when I have practised a  few times more with son- in-law... I may have a try at a park run. Just to see how it goes.

Your run sounds great...I love my runs in the mornings, although I have to say.. I am glad it is my rest day today..It is absolutely throwing down, heavy, sleety rain here...!

I just read  a quote that made me smile though;

" Excuse me, do you know where I might find Spring? "

It certainly applies to day :)

Yes, I was keen to get out before the rain starts. I'm not too fussed by rain but I'd rather not run in it if I can avoid it.

Definitely give parkrun a go! It's a lot of fun!

Hi Simon, Gosh you seem to be breaking records every run you do, Parkrun last week, 10k this week! I think it's time I gave stamina a go, it certainly has helped you. Well done and keep pushing us on

Well done Simon! Keep it up!  I like badges! hmmm I'll have to go for 10km, which is my goal for this year anyway.. I wonder if a metal pin badge is made like the c25k graduate metal pin badge I have?
