Back to Guildford Parkrun in the sun

in running •  6 years ago 

I just finished a 5.114km run that lasted about 0hh:33mm:33ss !

It was warm out today! Suddenly (the day after solstice) it's summer. And although I probably got a best time for this course (it's undulating unlike my usual riverside runs on the flat) I didn't manage to get past the ten year old who was running his 100th parkrun or his six year old brother who was running his 50th. The progress shown in the charts is enough motivation for me to keep going. I'll be sub-30min by Christmas!

That's good progress. I'm sure you will get under 30 soon. I've not been to parkrun in ages. I keep having things happening on Friday nights that make it hard to get up in time. Those kids have been really into it to clock up those numbers. I've not even done 20 yet.

Their dad was doing his 250th - there are families like that, mine never was :) I still have mixed feelings about parkrun. I prefer to be on my own in my own rhythm.

I treat parkrun as a fitness test. I don't need to do it every week, but some are keen to hit certain milestones. If it gets more people running then it is a good thing.

Looks like you went a bit slower this time! Remember that it's important to take some rest days, and do some rehab / prehab / strength and conditioning training too!
