Second Parkrun and new PB!!

[Cally73]

After finishing my C25K three weeks ago I decided to do my local Parkrun. It was very wet!! So pleased with my time though! It was a great atmosphere as always.

Well done! What a great time - and so close to the magic 30! 👏 👏

[Cally73 in reply to ktsok]

I know!!! It’s coming down!!!! Maybe next time!!

[ktsok in reply to Cally73]

That’s very exciting. My first PR was about 32:33 but I have been slacking ever since and so am not getting any closer to the 30. I can do 1k stints in under 6 minutes but to string 5 of them together... it remains a dream, however! Good luck!

Well done you! You might find that your official Parkrun time is a bit quicker even.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Debston]

No, unless you are at the front when the hooter goes, it will always be slower than your watch if you start it at the start line.

[Debston Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Oh, my official time is usually a bit quicker. Probably cos I turn on mapmyrun before the flag goes down and then don't remember to switch it off as soon as I cross the finish line... 😂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Debston]

😂😂

[Cally73 in reply to Debston]

Official time added 4s onto it. So not too much more!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done Cally, I did number 48 today but I still haven’t got sub 31! The battle in parkrun is against yourself. Enjoy your running. 🏃‍♀️

[MuddledGardener Graduate10]

Well done! Very impressive!

[Evol Graduate10]

That's fantastic, well done

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Fantastic time - well done !👍

[Kertesz Graduate10]

Wooo hoo... well done you - amazing time !! Looks like a fab route by the sea too!! X

[Cally73 in reply to Kertesz]

It’s a lovely run and yes it’s right by the sea. Depending on the weather it can be good or bad! It can be quite blustery down there but it’s been lovely recently when its been so warm!

[Kertesz Graduate10 in reply to Cally73]

Ah yes! I’d forgotten about the possibility of coastal ‘breezes’!! X

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Wow, super zoomy, well done !👏⚡️

[Cally73 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I am slowly getting faster! A nice easy pace takes me about 34 mins though.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Cally73]

Your easy is my fast 🐌. I seem to be fastly getting slower! Keep it up. Sub 30 next 👍

Welcome to the parkrun cult, beware, it’s very addictive. That map looks like Hartlepool parkrun, am I right? I spent a few days In Hartlepool last year researching my family history (a great great grandfather in the shipping industry of the 19th century) and of course fitted in a bit of parkrun tourism. We were outdone by meeting another tourist who had travelled all the way from Australia.

[Cally73 in reply to Coddfish]

It certainly is Hartlepool. It’s a lovely run by the sea. Hope you enjoyed your tourist Parkrun!

Wow! - Very impressed! 😄

Me. E was halfway marshall yesterday- probably looking like a drowned rat!

[Cally73 in reply to Elfe5]

It was rather wet! When I reached the halfway point there were two marshalls on who were looking very wet! I was surprised by how strong the head on breeze was when we turned to return! Thanks for cheering me on!

Well done!
