!8 49 at Strathclyde Parkrun ! Benign weather ( cold , damp but calm ) and good conditions underfoot . Influx of decent runners , perhaps because of the temporary closure of Falkirk so a few people to chase ....Delighted !

The wind tonight its horrific. up til yesterday was fine.
I switched my MP run to do it last night as I could see it was going to be rough for a few days.
I do expect to go sub 19 in the next couple of attempts if I get a calm day.

Well done Zorba
I avoided the temptation to have a bash today, even though weather looked perfect. I chose instead to stick to my plan which is a 2 week cycle and includes the types of running I like, Today was a tough 6 mile cross country. I hope that the variety in my running will see a strong performance at Parkrun next week.

Good luck , Bazoaxe......A 3k race for me on Friday and then the following Saturday I hope to do either the hilly , but competitive , Glasgow Uni 5 or the fast Cupar 5 ......Any thoughts ?

Depends on what you are after.....if a fast time/PB then Cupar, if you want some extra training benefit then the hilly race may be better...and could still deliver a PB (saying this not having checked what your PB actually is)

Yeah...Glasgow certainly more convenient for me , and more familiar runners to race , so that might be the option ( fitness permitting ,always )
