TFF Parkrun Fiends...............

[JLLM]

Marshalled at my usual Parkrun then at 10.30 ran Milford Haven Parkrun.

 

[JCMaloney]

There was a "New Years Day Double" in Leicester. Our usual local had just shy of 900 turned up!

We were returning from our New Year break in Cumbria and, after walking Helvellyn on New Years Eve the odds of running anywhere were greatly reduced!!

 

[JCMaloney]

We had another 600 today, desperate for volunteers...... and we`ve had to move the finish funnel as the finish hill grass isn`t grass anymore!!
I was "funnel managing" and supporting the token folk.

Nearly 200 for ours today. Numbers definitely higher.
Managed 36th today over a minute quicker than new yrs day at 25.23 though I’m not absolutely sure the distance we ran was as far as advertised given a change in track due to mud !
But I’ll take it !

@Jamin keeps filling my social media feeds... fair play he has become a running bore but my god he has done well!

23.36 today. really windy at Rutland Water Parkrun.
last three runs have been within 7 seconds of each other. how does that happen?

 

[lazy farmer]

Windy here too. Managed 25.19 on a tarmac run. A full minute slower than my September best. Unsurprisingly if you miss a couple of months you get slower

Don`t get into Stopwatch Bingo and the other "add ons" ! Stopwatch Bingo is 0-59 secs on your PR times and there are many more challenges you can take on!

Contemplating trying the gammy leg out this weekend...............things have improved a fair bit recently.

Some of the paths were too icy to run on today so they made us run on the grass, hellif it wunt wet. Got talked into entering a 10k in Crymych next sunday, lots of hills they said, should be fun.
25.39

Ours was cancelled due to ice?

 

[JCMaloney]

I was on event set up. We had to move the finish (wet/mud etc) and the course was a bit slippy. The tarmac was ok with caution but the WWII concrete at the start was like a skating rink. So some fool (me) suggested getting 4 marshals to form a line and force the runners onto the grass either side, until they were back on tarmac.
Ever "faced down" a start line of 600 runners??
"They stood 4 strong on the icy pavement of death as the 600 charged towards them ".....

23.28. another run within 10 seconds of allof my last 6 runs. cant quite believe it.

 

[Chasingmytail]

We are back on it again. Luckily my afternoon sleepiness has gone now and I didnt feel sick and need to rest which has given me a boost. Im still well over 30mins struggling with the fear of going to fast my legs are still doing small strides. One thing Ive found really beneficial is youtube flexibility exercises Im currently completing Tom Merrick 20 mins deep stretching and its amazing how stiff and non-flexi I am. Hip and ankle exercises are def good.

Marshalling today, someone showed me the Strava elevation graph of tomorrows 10k, should be fun, lets hope the rain clears.

Are you gonna do the Preseli beast? Against better judgement ive agreed to do the 26 miler! But will treat it as a walk/run and will bring a picnic!

 

[JCMaloney]

Bombed out today, early train to Newcastle. Mrs M volunteered , said it was busy with another 550+. Got a spanking new set of tokens for next week.

Just looked on the website, it looks like a Saturday job, clashes with cricket, shame

23.06 for me today. Getting back from injury. Good to be running again.
