Just done my second Parkrun this morning Improved my time by nearly 2 minutes!! At that rate of improvement I shall be at world record pace in about 9 weeks time (about mid-May). That is how it works isn't it?

And if you keep going at that rate, you'll be back on the couch because you'll be finishing your runs before you start them !
