My FM training plan called for a 5k or 10k race as the long run. None around near me this weekend, so it was time to finally pop my Park Run cherry as it was the closest I could find to a race.
Preston park run is a three lap route including ‘the hill of doom’. 😛
Set off too far down the field (of 397) and was baulked in the early stages. Happy with the official finish time though of 30:00, I clocked a few seconds less, but also 20m shy of the 5k.
Quite enjoyed the experience, once the marathon is out of the way I may well do some others.
29k scheduled for next Saturday - Gulp 😛
