As long as you stay in the correct position in line, you get the correct time. I've only ever had one questionable time given on a parkrun, and that was only 5 seconds.
20:25 is heading the right way
I'm normally too oxydebted to notice, i'll check next time...if i can see straight.
One ACW loop of thruscross reservoir starting and finishing at the swinsty carpark. The run up the Washburn valley was drier than expected and I ran it at 3 step breathing, increasing to 2 up the dam and round the reservoir. I found I could maintain pace on 3 breaths on the flats. Tea and cake at the Washburn heritage centre after. 9m/700'
21.02 on the old parkrun this morning, so going the wrong way again, but i've had another throat infection this week and my phlegm situation has got worse.
Did a load of reps in the woods last night humping logs back to the car. 0.2m/60' jog out, then 0.2m -60' with a 20kg log on my shoulder. Decided to do it all in one evening and double time it, as the bruising to my shoulder was going to take days to go away. It hurts quite a bit today! 12 reps in total.
Began the day today by coughing up a load of yellow crap into the bog, a sure sign my body is struggling with infection. Ran about 10m/1800' from Bolton Abbey today, up to Simons Seat then back over Laund Wood to Cony Warren, return along Strid Wood. I felt drained and fatigued most of the time and slowed the pace after simons seat, i was dropped to a walk by a short steep incline near laund wood- my legs just drained themselves of all energy and quit. I got going again on the flat, but this is the trademark of post-viral running, constantly firing on 3 cylinders.
I feel really wiped out today, like i've been on a weekend bender. My legs don't even hurt.
Couple of rides in already this week, 34m. Just short of 6m with Horsforth Harriers last night, zone 2 pace for me. Hoping for a much better parkrun this saturday.
3 rides into work now, 51m. Thankfully i've been resupplied with herbal chest tea.
Parkrun this morning, 20.33, so now 1min off where I should be. Don't want to go mad with the distance tomorrow.
Which PR did you do? Hopeing to meet you at Chevin Forest sometime - got a 10 sec PB today. This will be my excuse for being slow in Guiseley Gallop tomorrow!
