I ran my fake parkrun yesterday as I was in a hilly trail 10K this morning.

It was quite hot ๐Ÿฅต yesterday for my run ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ & like the silly Billy I am, a couple of hundred yards of it was by a dual carriageway. As there were road works, there was quite a tail back of traffic. The stink from all those exhausts was bl**dy awful.

Fakeparkrun on the toughest course I have ran for a while, the actual parkrun course at Plean. Which is usually a mudbath, but was very dry today. With a mate, so not all out, 38:40. Not quite my slowest. In the final stretch, light hail, turning into snow.

The weather sounds challenging, Dvorak.

I'm happy with another SB - 40 seconds faster than last week and on Jabberknits' heels, with 33:49 :)

Still very reasonable jk, well run!

I stuck to my regular route and am pleased to report a SB of 33:57. Happy with that, considering most of my 5k runs were around 38-40 mins at the start of the year :-)

Well done, AtC!

Still a good run, GM, even if not joyful!

Fake trackrun got me 23:40, knocking 44s off my last one 3 weeks ago. Very pleased with that. I think the it's good for pacing, but not very realistic for a parkrun. Needs must.
