The Weakest Link looks like it might be fun too. I would have been right up for that Woodingdean 10K but I'm in France that day and will be running to and from the bakers for morning croissants to soak up the previous night's wine.

Well I guess I'd better come and join you both. I'm guessing it's parking on a meter? Whereabouts is the start line (sorry, I'm too lazy to look)?
Here was my warmup from this morning: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1184601941
In front of cafe that is in the middle of Hove Lawns. Near Queen Victoria's back. no idea on parking.
Managed to average 3:26 minute miles on Strava so far this week by omitting yesterday's time............

That does look good. The 4th and last runner has to do 5k without a break the others would get at least 10 minutes rest going up to 30+ minutes for 1st runner.
Anyone else interested? 22nd June a Wednesday night. Only £8 a team (unlike the Aquathon in Hove £18 for a swim in the sea and a 5k on the prom. money grabbers not even a charity).
I'm out. Euro2016 final Group Stages Group E and F between 5 pm and 10pm. May be of interest.

I'm up for it – if I can go first
OK I'll consider it. at 8pm that night is the Italy Ireland and Sweden Belgium final Group E games but I could always get the second half if we run fast enough. We need [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION], or another gazelle, to do the last leg.
Any volunteers. [MENTION=26634]Simgull[/MENTION] will be with his new Run Squad mates that night.

Happy to take any leg. Shame [MENTION=26481]downham seagull[/MENTION] isn't local he's posting some impressive times of late.
That's 3 of us. Just need 1 more. Will be good training for the Phoenix.

I'm happy to be part of the team, cheeky 2.5km sprint sounds good to me!

I'd be up for this if required. Doing a 21:30 5k at the moment but I'm well out of condition.
Plus the 5th leg making it 5k total. You are the 4th team member. I'll see Big Nuts and Bobkin tomorrow at Prom run so will see how committed they are. The thought of a 2.5k sprint does sound good.
5th man in so first reserve or first member of team 2. Three more needed. Are you doing the Phoenix? I want revenge after the Brookes 10k last November.
I'm definitely up for the weakest link run.
Good run out this morning I finished 13th in 19:08 but my result hasn't recorded so I've just sent an email to Park Run hoping they can add me.
Are you still feeling dirty and used [MENTION=24635]Greg Bobkin[/MENTION] ? Your first Park Run away from your beloved Hove Park!
Not bad conditions today but the wind coming form the East was a little to brisk for really good times.
A strong comeback run from [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] who was involved in a tight tussle at the finishing line.
Good, glad you are ready to be the strongest link in the weakest link.
Your result is up now. 21:28 for me and an enjoyable last km. a minute down or 5% from pre lay off. expected worse and ready to build up for the Phoenix now.
Still laughing at your analogy of [MENTION=24635]Greg Bobkin[/MENTION] deserting Hove Park for the first time. Too bad for me to put on NSC. Menstruation and playing away are the catch words.

Nice one mushti. Yeah, under some pressure to do Phoenix.

Lol bit far for a short run. Good luck if you get a team together. Ran K/L Parkrun this morning. After a 55 mile week in prep for the Worthing 10k ran overcooked in 18.33. Long run tomorrow evening then mini taper all week.
21.33 at Clair in Haywards Heath for me. Pretty pleased with that after no speedwork for ages. Clair is always 1-2 mins slower than HP or PP, and 40 second course PB today. Might do PP next week as there for a meeting anyway.......
