an NSC mini-league would be fun but I'm just not sure how to manage and measure it?
I'll have a word with my bro and if it sounds interesting and free i'll give it a post.

A mini-league would be interesting.
The aim is for each of us to get our best time for the summer. It's worked with me. I now have the Bobkin on my heels and 7:18 just out of view a minute ahead. Luckily An old school friend with 180 park runs consistently runs at 20.30 to 20.50. He will be my unknowing pacer in a months time. I started with him yesterday but struggled for that last mile and the hill became a mountain. I like how we are all anonymous at present.

Not run since i was 16, so 12 years of no running needs changing. What are these times for, is there a track at Hove park or something?? Will go along tomorrow morning i think.

Its a small lap and two big laps of Hove Park, (total 5km) starting at 9am. You need to register at parkrun.com to get a number (barcode). Bring it along and you can keep track of your times week-by-week.
As a veteran of 100+ parkruns, I have to say it is a fantastic free event, well organised and a great community spirit.
Good luck.

there are people that take 45 minutes to an hour, there is no one there that is embarassing themselves...just being out there and doing it is an achievement in itself...thats why parkrun rewards turning up, not necessarily your time

You were right in front of me at the start, you must have went ahead as I didn't see you again. I timed myself as 23:56 so relatively happy with that. I really didn't pace it well or respect the distance I clocked under 4 mins 30 for the first K and I was out on my feet by 2K. Ill learn for next time.

I managed 20:46, which is 10 seconds off my PB...well done for coming along to Hove Park, hope you enjoyed it...good time!

Set a new PB this morning beating my previous by a full minute. Still 1:48 behind my end of summer target, but I'm making good progress.

Was with you for the first lap and then faded a bit. I think I was exactly a minute behind you, but at least it is under 22 again. Onwards and upwards.

did you stretch before hand?
Always. I did a few arm flexes.
Getting lunch time train to Durham so had time to do park run this morning. Wish I hadn't. Slower than 2 weeks ago and my upward progression has faltered. 67th whatever time that will be. Still be better of for doing that and still 4 weeks until the supreme effort on 7th September.

Ah, that'll be the Bobkin sprint finish. Managed to take a good few people from the basketball court on Saturday.
