This was a flat run so was looking for a PB. However, it was quite warm for a morning. With my friends acting as pacers - they are doing a 10K tomorrow - I was encouraged along and got the sub-26 min I was after with 26:49 - nearly 35sec faster than previous PB.

I know Parkrun is not for everyone but it is really friendly and this run has general pubic on the side encouraging you which was amazing ! Onward and upwards πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Congratulations to you on getting a PB time at your parkrun this morning, well done, I agree with you regarding the encouragement you get from the volunteers when running and especially the cheering you get at the very end near the funnel.

Ooh - I’ve not been cheered at the funnel yet - something to look for as part of my tourism πŸ˜‰
