Are Park Runs Destructive ?

[socks]

I have recently run Fountains Abbey which was beautiful, St Helens which was good and Cheadle Hulme.
Bolton is hilly and hard work, Worsley Woods is interesting and Pennington is quite stony, hard on the feet.
Delamere is very nice but not a pb course whereas Congleton is - 3 flat laps of a lovely lake on a hardcore surface.
Other nice parkruns I have run are Walsall, Arboretum, Huddersfield, Ecos, Preston, Princes, Heaton Park, Bradford and Hanley.
Next on my list is York next week and then two more in Northern Ireland, probably Antrim and Valley.
Will get round to Lyme Park, Ormskirk, Cuerdon Valley and Barnsley at some stage.

Swoop - you've got to do Roundhay Park - for the big hill (x3) and the bacon butties at my house afterwards....

That sounds good. I will have to insult my diary! Cheers.

Did oakwell hall yesterday. All trails and quite good fun. Wore my speedcrosses which proved interesting on the wet downhill zigzag paths! Useless bloody things.

Hi Swoop

Looks like you're legs are still moving along!

Managing to fit a few parkie runs over here. http://www.parkrun.com.au/wynnum/results/latestresults/

Not much in the way of fellrunning but did do a nice trail race a few weeks ago near Melbourne.

Your legs are moving a lot faster than mine Martin, about 3 minutes faster for 5K!

One of the real difficulties with park runs is Friday night.

As I sample a small Ricard, the vision of a nine o' clock start becomes a little more , well blurred

Perhaps a long slow run tomorrow

But this 'Friday feeling' is trumped by the Saturday morning 10am feeling, when you have just finished your Parkrun, are glowing, and have the rest of the weekend to get stuck into.

I'll hopefully be there again tomorrow having done week 2 when still carrying an injury, this time I'll be simply unfit. Think the Kanadias will be more useful tomorrow than they were in the bone dry conditions 3 weeks ago.

Chariot-load of Harriers to flat South Manc (Platt Fields) today (it is in our Club Champ series).
Made the most of the perfect weather whilst the puddles aren't so big.
Course PBs or SBs all round, inspired by Snakey the mascot.
Good stuff dudes n babes (especially babes - in top 3).

PS. Snakey now off to Sedbergh tomorrow - to provide inspiration in the hills.

Well done OB1
