Yeah cheers Zorba, still a bit annoyed but a PB is a PB, and it gives me an excuse to sack overtime off next Saturday too so I can have another go at it. :)

Mark, if its any consolation (!) ,I did Strathclyde this morning, against my better judgement (I just KNEW I had a bad race in the post for some reason ).....in icy conditions they opted for a 5.4 k alternative course which had an option of running on the grass.....I took that option and crashed to a miserable 23 minutes ..Wrong choice ,wrong shoes ,poor preparation in the week.... It's still all good training ,I tell myself ruefully....

Teaboy, welcome and keep us posted

Alright Teaboy, always room for one more...

I'll bet it was fair nippy in Strathclyde at 9am, I was going gingerly in Yorkshire, there's always next week mate... :)

Having just gone under 20 minutes for the first time the other week and ALWAYS wanting to go faster I thought I would join you guys here. :-)

1) - 1m - 6:12(6:12/m) - 118cal

2) - 1m - 6:28(6:28/m) - 120cal

3) - 1m - 6:42(6:42/m) - 122cal

4) - 0.11m - 39(6:01/m) - 12cal

Anyways, I will keep you posted when the result of my long runs, speed and hill work hopefully pay off!

Good luck to the rest of you, see you at 18:59 or lower soon I hope!

I'm trying to imagine where I'd be if I was lucky enough to have a Parkrun nearby to keep grinding out 5ks every week.
