As not doing Parkrun have time to put Mo Farah in the NSC 5000m table for a few weeks as an Honorary Champion. i'll take him off when we play Arsenal.
The big question is where will we be able to watch from next Saturday with the Final scheduled for 8.20 pm?

Just got my Hastings result. 19:44 for me, sub 20 finally achieved and with 16 seconds to spare, I'm absolutely made up with that.

I helped myself to a steady 21:39 around Hove Park today, my achilles felt ok throughout the run but it's funny how quickly you lose speed endurance when you're not able to train properly. All the cycling, rowing and swimming in the world can't compete with hard milage out on the road. I didn't push myself too much, but I don't think I'd have been able to do much better than sub 21 at the quickest.

Also, it was my 20th parkrun for the year, I'd only run 14 before this calendar year since my first run in 2014!

Not been well so missed pr last week and thought I'd miss this week too as junior needed dropping off at scout camp @Ardingly for 10am. But got a result when i realised Clair or was on route. Even managed to convince junior to run too and then change in the car.
The time not great (23.20) but glad to be out, and also to tick off another pr.

Four weeks ago my PB was 23:27. In the three Parkruns since then I've run 22:59, 22:49 and today in my 50th Parkrun a 22:12. Considering my aim for 2017 was just to get in the 22s, I can't believe I'm now heading for the 21s with five months of the year remaining.

I need to put the Parkrun times to one side for a few weeks now though and focus on my first half marathon in September.

In anticipation of Sunday trains being pointless, will run back today from Amex to Brighton (or Preston Park). Who has a PB for this then?

Thanks! I was at Worthing too so based on your earlier post I'd have been finishing about 40 seconds behind you yesterday without knowing it. I struggle to remember ever seeing better conditions at Worthing in the year or so it's been running. That was the dream for anyone seeking a PB.

I'm running the Bedford HM next month. It sounds a bit of a strange choice but some friends could get me a free place so I went for it, it's obviously not what I would have picked. My main motivation is simply covering that distance competitively for the first time. I'm not really focusing on time, I just want to finish it comfortably enough so that it leaves me wanting to get home and sign up for another one. I'll probably do it in about 1hr 50 based on my current long distance training pace, which obviously isn't great but it gives me something to aim at next time.

Seaford sounds a bit hilly to me, although I've never run there, only golfed. What other good HMs does Sussex offer?
