Wow OG, that's brilliant! And look at your age grade score over 55%, that really is very good, more gazelle like me thinks!

Understood.

I see you have uploaded your parkrun to GC.

Did you set off a bit too fast or were you slowing down just to make sure you beat the 30:00?

Hi Dunder, Just trying to find a pace I was comfortable with and thought I could maintain. Even though there were less than 70 runners, I found it difficult at the start to settle down. Excitement got the better of me!

Brilliantly well done OG - Impressively laconic running there :) You'll have to explain to Mrs.OG that ironing is in fact detrimental to long distance running. :)

Not what you're looking for?
