Pomphrey Hill Parkrun this morning with my daughter, I managed it in 29:56, she ran it a lot faster.... 😉

It's a challenging 3 lap course....

Looks a tad challenging 😉 Did Blandford parkrun for the first time today, a nice out and back course with just a couple of climbs.
We're planning on heading out to Swanage in the next few weeks, Durlston Country Park is reputedly one of the toughest parkruns, scenery is spectacular as it's on the SWCP.

Sounds good.....

Just discovered the Parkrunner app... 👍

Lists all your runs with times & details and other 'challenges' including the Parkrun A - Z, of which I've only got C, L & P.

Yes, it's very good. We use the " 5K " app which is similar. one part of our club challenge is to complete 6 parkruns in different locations, plus one volunteering role. I love the app, there's a wealth of geekiness and fun in the various categories. The " Pirate " badge in particular made me smile, run 3 parkruns beginning with the letter C, plus one begiining with the letter R to give you three c's and an Arrrr 🏴‍☠️ 😁

Volunteered at Robert park, park run!
Thought I might as well give back as I'm injured and support the PR.

20k in the bag this morning. Out early before the majority of the locals were up, and certainly no tourists about.

I’m another user of the 5k app. I love the data it gives.

We've had a club challenge where you have to spell your name using the initial letters of various completed parkruns. Some of the less mature club members like to string together swear words...

Out early today for a 15 mile run, undulating for the first part, as had to get back for a local 10k my wife was doing. She wanted photos! Lovely and cool this morning and city nice and quiet save for those leaving city centre hotels to get to the airport.

Got back in time to watch the London Marathon. The elite men and women are on a different level to u mere mortals!

Went to support at London yesterday - incredible scenes. Not run it since 2018 but with the staggered start they can fit an extra 15,000 runners or so onto the course and it looked like it - people all day long. Didn't think much of the Expo though - I didn't spend any money !
Decent running temps but I guess they would have preferred it to be dry.

I ran the Berlin half with my daughter a few years ago, a great day. I didn't realise it was a staggered start and was puzzled as to why it was taking so long to reach the start line 🤔
Very impressed with the Erdinger Alkohol free beer just after the finish line 🍺👍

 

[cougie uk]

Oh they have erdinger after a few triathlons I've done. Really goes down well!

Steady 20 minute / 3K run this evening whilst my daughter was sprint training at our local athletics club.
