3 minutes! That's amazing! Still waiting for my result (busy day because if bank holiday and nice weather I guess) but I suspect it's slower than last week. I try to shave a few seconds off each week, but 3 minutes deserves respect, well done.

Well done. It was too hot for me so no Pb, 1 min slower. But 4th in my age group so the heat affected a lot of people today. Well done on your second run. Fantastic.

Cracking pic Vintage- looks as though there was a bit of shade in places which is more than we had at Southsea today. Lots of very hot Parkrunners - I was glad to be volunteering! Happy running!

I know!! Gobsmacked. It’s still pretty slow but I couldn’t run a bath 4 months ago!! Nearly didn’t do it as so warm. I had the C25K stepping stone app in my ears and that kept me on track. Plus I have amazing support from my Ultra marathon mentor πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’•πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Slow and fast are relative terms... 3 minutes off your PB is fast! It’s all about you, nobody else. You have a great mentor... maybe you’ll join them at an ultra one day!?

Er... no don’t think so. She’s a beast! 30 years younger and many many stones lighter!!! 😳

I’m like that with my mate... I’m going to do a parkrun with him this autumn at last... but he sends me links to tons of ultras all the time... he’s trying to find one that will tempt me.
