Hi Speedy Gonzalezes!!!

Sorry to be a day late, but how are you feeling so far??

I've seen some fabulous first runs, and Mr Tbae has already given the graph an almighty heft πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

β˜… Please share your results below as your AVERAGE PACE IN MIN/KM thank you!!!

And check out the results as they come in here:

Good luck and have fun!!!

Love it Abi.❀️🀣🀣

Suppose to be on a 1128 train to Manchester Airport.Emergency fire problems so cancelled.Chilling with a coffee.

Thinking of getting my running gear on but too much baggage, would need a Rickshaw.πŸ€”πŸ€£πŸ€£

Every good wish to all participating, more almighty hefting required.Off the charts welcome.πŸ’₯β˜„οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

That’s ok Roseabi, our 2 attempts at running yesterday got thwarted by torrential rain and we had to dive into cafes . So out today instead. My speed was fairly consistent over the km this week instead of starting rediculously fast and not being able to keep it up, but I took about 6 steps of walking just to catch my breath. Honestly I sounded like a steam train. So 1 km @ 6:00 is the score on the door. I cannot imagine running at that pace to do 5k in 30 mins.

No wind behind us today, unlike last week. Have fun everyone. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈβš‘οΈ

Well, talk about after the Lord Mayorβ€˜s show ......

I’ve just managed a 4’31” km, a 1 second improvement - which quite pleased me, but will be invisible on the graph now tbae’s stretched the y-axis beyond human comprehension πŸ˜€

Well done Maddee - Maybe I should have done 500m instead of a km πŸ˜‚

Next time!

Last time I did 5k, which did me the world of good, but wow was hard.

Yes if I did 5k, I’d have to do it at parkrun . I couldn’t go for it twice in a week for that distance. .

I tried my first speed run, 5.05 /km over 5k for me. Got a way to go to catch up with my best pace but will see where I get to!

Only 3'44" pace needed to get you to the top of the leader board then …….. :-)

We should all have started with a run leaving us some scope!

Hmmm, perhaps I should get rid of the leaderboards.

No, no, you’ll be able to sell the chart as modern art πŸ—Ίcome the end of the month πŸ™„

Ha ha that is a good idea!

Have hidden the leaderboards, but the chart of course will remain 😊😊😊

Hope I'm posting on the right week! Managed 26:06 at parkrun this morning. Started way too far back so lost a lot of time in the first km but perfect conditions meant I still managed a PB 😁

5:11 per km according to Strava - starting so far back made for a slightly long course x
