23.32 today. smashed my previous PB of 25.09. what is going on. actually felt like I was going slower. after a very heavy meal last night with a skinful of beer and redwine…….
That is one heck of a pb smash, 97 seconds is brilliant (…...have you not been trying before??). It has only since I took up Parkrun that I finally fully appreciate just how difficult it is to improve on a time. Watching races on TV as a child I couldn't really understand why the person in second place couldn't make up the yard or so to take the gold medal, when in reality I now know that it is an Herculian task to make up a few yards on a fellow runner.
By the way, in all my 25+ years playing senior rugby (at a low level), I often felt I had my best games and stamina when I had imbibed too much the night before (extra calories).
I`m "resting" until Christmas............... IT band is a bit niggly.
Snap! my first time volunteering and they put me on barcodes, all went ok though, did you use the scanners or the phone app?After a few attempts at @texas pete video recommendation & some tennis ball interaction the IT band is easing off slowly.
You are also supposed to rest so I was on barcode scanning.
