Parkrun PB at Lyme!

[Tanethra]

Been putting in the km's this Easter weekend and managed to secure a PB at the Parkrun at Lyme Park and did it in 32:27 which I'm really chuffed at. Starting to see the benefits of all the running I've been doing lately.

Her's a challenge for you now that you have a new PB - run the next say 4 parkruns at a pace around 30 seconds slower than your PB - every Saturday . So, in your case, say 32:00 minutes. I like to think that we need to consolidate and strengthen for a while before we make any further faster/longer attempts

Nice idea Bazza quite like the idea of a consolidation period to confirm the PB wasn't a fluke and being a hilly course probably wise to do so.

I remember when I first ran this course in Oct it completely shattered me in the last 1500m I had to walk part of the last section and my heart rate was pushing 190!

I was more aware of my effort and was conscious to slow my pace down on the down hill bits to recover so it was a good exercise in that regard as I tend to push too hard sometimes.

Congratulations on the PB! I found my 5k speed naturally increased after running longer distances too, so many benefits

Yes you're right. I'm preparing for the Colshaw Hall 10k in June so been eeking the distances out recently. Did a very easy hour run on Sunday and got to 6.5 km just to ease the legs after the Parkrun and took the day off yesterday. I've lost 4lbs too!
