FairWeatherRunner First parkrun in sheffield. The course to me feels slightly flatter than in Durham. It is my first parkrun outside of sunderland. Much bigger event 160 people. As we ran there was much less encouragement from the marshalls. It was almost like they were silent as you ran [ast. Not a bit of applause. Half hearted encouragement from the marshalls unlike the sunderland event/.

A new PB by a mile. I did not seek to smash my PB or break the 25 minute barrier, but somehow, I did. I ran it withou looking at my watch. But ran it as hard as I could. Just listened to my body. Also, controlled myself from running too fast in the start.

Later on like after the 1st km, started overtaking people. Need the competitive mindset to overtake people in spurts.

And then a final sprint to the finish.

I think a large elemt of running faster is mental. Mental that you can run that fast at that pace over 5km. Also, I noticed that I should train to run faster in my training for longer.

Then after parkrun, went to rejoin parents in adrian's place for dim sum. ahhh!!
