Not a bad parkrun, but no pb today...

[crox]

But there's always next month and it was only 20 seconds of the pace so I don't feel too bad about it.

20km slow run as a follow up, further and faster overall pace than last month, so you won some you lose some. All in all I reckon the half marathon at the end of March will go smoothly

I've got 2 more months before my next birthday, hoping to make it 60% on the age/gender thingy before then, although to be honest I'm not sure how many minutes that would take

Well done... And it sounds like you are well on the way to your HM in March... I'm aiming for one then too

I think I'll be happy if I can match Septembers time to be honest, my 2nd run yesterday was much slower than that, but I hoping I can put that down as being "to be expected"

Nice running, Crox. I too had a mediocre parkrun, but thoroughly enjoyed it even though I was a minute off my PB. I blame the conditions.........both the muddy course and my own, (slightly) morning after state. But the sun shone and there is no better way to start the weekend. My target, like you, is the 60% on the age graded pace and I have found the calculator here runnersworld.com/tools/age-... useful to work out what I have to do to get there.

Keep running,keep smiling.

I can't really blame the course, it was gorgeous at Rushcliffe yesterday, if a tad windy on one part of the course. I think I went about last week all wrong, doing 2 long runs instead of 1 11km and 1 6km.

Had a look on that calculator, looks like my best time is just a few seconds short of that elusive 60%, will bear that in mind in March
