I used to tag parkrun to the end of my long runs. I was pretty good at predicting my pace so usually arrived at parkrun within a few minutes of the official start time. No matter how knackered my legs were it was notable how I’d get pulled around at a faster pace than I felt capable of running on tired legs.
Any Runners On Here??

My parkrun is bob on 5 miles from home. So when I'm fully fit I'll run there, race and run home.
I'll start doing that again in the new year as I'll be ramping up for half marathon races then.

2nd in my AG (second overall) at Parkrun this morning. Started way too fast and jogged the second and third laps…
That will give you the full half marathon distance which will stand you in good stead for your races👍

Ride mate has all but given up cycling as its aggravating a hip/back issue that means even an "easy" ride is hard for him but hes found he can run at a decent pace and its not affecting it ? Hes had bike fits, physio, etc with no joy and he even had to sell his land rover ( he was a responder to emergencies ) as he couldnt get in it

You have my sympathy. It has ruined my legs. 1 bout down left leg about 12 years ago and an even worse bout around 5 years ago after stupidly doing some heavy lifting. Both times left lingering areas of numbness in my legs and outside of my feet and it now feels as though I am losing leg strength. I still do my best to keep exercising but it feels such hard work now.

Quite painful at the moment, been 3 weeks so hopefully it will pass soonish, never had it before and had no idea how much it hurts… ☹️
I bet you are, its terrible, very debilitating and the worst injury I have had apart from a cycling accident injury that wasn't my fault.
I now do a daily routine of Sciatica specific stretching every morning, anything to avoid another bout.

4 weeks ago I did an organised trail half marathon. Part of the event description was that all participants would receive a finishers medal however, due to a problem with the the organisers didn’t have them available on the day and said they would be posted out later.
Now don’t get me wrong, it’s just a naff medal and I couldn’t care less about it, but there is a principle involved and, on that basis, it’s really annoying me now. 😂

Worsley Woods Parkrun for me today, if you're ever in the north Manchester area on a Saturday morning it's well worth a go.
Got stuck in a traffic jam for the first km, took it steady through the woods in the middle, then finished off nicely for 27:20. I reckon I could've got near to 26 mins if I'd had a go at it.

Worsley Woods parkrun was my very first 5k. A great parkrun that can get very muddy at time. Got my time there down to 21m 52s.
