parkrun - Saturday Social Running

Berkeley Green yesterday, full of injury but still managed a 22:42. I really would like to know what I would get if fully fit. That’s 37 different parkruns now

Having to give parkrun a rest due to injury. I think I’ve done my Achilles in an continued to run on it. Went to woolacombe last weekend which is suppose to be the 2nd hardest parkrun in the UK. It was hot and it was a very hard run.

Ive been getting off and on injuries for a few weeks now. - If you dont have premiership football level doctors, rest is the best thing to do.

Woolacombe is one of the hardest because of the soft sand and the dunes - not done it myself, so ive heard and thats totally understandable. That probably doesnt help with he injury getting.

3 Aberbeeg 1.0
4 Watermead Country Park 1.0
5 Sutcliffe 1.0
6 Belfast Victoria 1.1
7 Pegwell Bay 1.2
8 Isabel Trail 1.2
9 Dulwich 1.2
10 Market Rasen Racecourse 1.2
11 The Wammy 1.2
12 Walsall Arboretum 1.2
13 Long Eaton 1.2
14 Swansea Bay 1.2
15 Knockbracken Reservoir 1.2
16 Stretford 1.3
17 Worthing 1.3
18 Burgess 1.3
19 Great Denham 1.3
20 Sandy Water 1.4
21 Alexandra 1.4
22 Rother Valley 1.4
23 Torbay Velopark 1.4
24 Eden Project 1.4
25 Doddington Hall 1.4
26 Stratford-upon-Avon 1.4
27 Edgbaston Reservoir 1.4
28 Victoria 1.4
29 Riverfront 1.4
30 Groe 1.4

Of those ive done stretford and alexandra - both very flat. I know stretford is alot more crowded now so it might be trickier to get a better time. Im suprised some of the promenade parkruns that ive done - morcambe and fleetwood, arent on there. Those are two of my fastest, i guess youve got to do them when its not windy.

Slowest
1 Great Yarmouth North Beach 10.0
2 Woolacombe Dunes 9.0
3 Whinlatter Forest 9.0
4 Watergrove 8.2
5 Mount Edgcumbe 7.4
6 Flatts Lane 6.6
7 Coed Cefn-pwll-du 6.5
8 Lanhydrock 6.4

25 Bestwood Village 5.4
26 Conyngham Hall 5.1
27 Uckfield 5.0
28 Squerryes Winery 5.0
29 Cheadle Hulme 5.0
30 Pendle 5.0

Ive done lyme park, wepre and pendle - all have big hills so i can see why those are tough. Ive also done cheadle hulme - that was just muddy so that made it difficult. And chaddeton hall despite the hill, im sure is about 400m long, so i think thats why thats on there.

Got a course PB at Guildford parkrun on Saturday. Considering I have hardly done any running this year I was very happy with that! Went from 23:08 to 22:52. My overall parkrun PB is still 21:39 at Upton Court.

I've just signed up for a half marathon in March. I'm used to slowly completing ultramarathons, so it will be good to work on improving base and speed instead over the next 6 months. Hoping my parkrun time also comes down.

Where are you planning to do the Z? I've done Zuiderpark in the Hauge- which I would recommend as a holiday on its own (which is why I was there, and just happened to get the Z).

Without meaningful to go of top topic is The Hague worth visiting?

I can get a ferry over from Easy Anglia and it's been in my radar to do for sometime but I'm yet to bite.

Yes it's good for a long weekend. Delft (the home of the famous white & blue pottery) is on the tram network as well as Scheveningen which is a beach side town which I really liked.

Just under 25 minutes but I did feel it in my Achilles. Still a long was off my average of last year which was around 22 minutes but at least I'm no longer tired after my run.

Did my fastest parkrun since my Achilles injury last Saturday. Visited my 45th different parkrun at Chippingham Playing Fields.
