It was hot and humid again this morning at parkrun - 28C and 86% RH. I haven't been coping too well with it lately so I decided today to run 10 minutes slower than my PB - and it was still hard work - 39 mins - even then it placed me 116 out of 201, so not so bad for an old boy! :)

Thats still amazing time to me my pb is still 44!! So well done🏃🏃 o I could do with some of that sunshine😊😊

I've come near the end on difficult parkruns too e.g. in rain, heatwaves etc. I just tell myself others who would have struggled as much or more than me stayed home, the other slower runners basically didn't turn up. Maybe compare the total number of runners to the amount they get on a perfect Spring day. Very healthy attitude to keep going by adjusting pace :)

Oh just saw you weren't even near the back - slap bang in the middle - excellent result :)

Not bad at all - pbs are not everything, but boy completing a run in that heat is a great achievement in anybody's book! I don't think I could.
