Thank you, it was tough going, our parkrun is quite hilly, the legs felt it alright!!!

One of mine is hilly, I’m avoiding it til I have 7k or so in the tank though. I also have a super flat one which I’ll have a crack at soon.

Excellent, considering the weather conditions, good chance you could run sub 30 in better conditions.

4 yrs ago I was doing that same run in under 25 mins, injury really knocked me sideways 😩 but I’m pleased with that and glad I did it, onwards and upwards now 👍

Doing it was step 1, and you nailed that!
