Parkrunners unite!

[IsThatTrue]

Right, lets find all the park runners we have on here. I did my first park run on sat.

I am very impressed with my time of 33.18 :) I am ridiculously pleased with myself.

So park runners, where are you?

Thanks melanie. Do people wear trainers or do it barefoot?

Trainers- it starts along a concrete promenade section before crossing the dreaded soft sand onto a pleasant hard sand section. Out to the rocks, turn and back, so across the soft sand again ( a killer at that point), and sprint along the concrete to the finish.

No results for mine yet either I'm desperate to know my time!

31.40, which is way off my pb but better than I expected after my break. Feeling rather happy.
But also rather of runningbon a beach. A park in darkest east lancs hasn't the same cachet.

I got a with my pram pb today (was quicker before dd) very nearly under 30 mins but not quite (next week) there were some ladies from slimming world giving out water at the end they gave me a balloon (I'm hoping for dd and not as some kind of hint)

woundbobbin anywhere near 30 minutes with a pram is amazing well done. @ the balloon, in sure there were no hints involved!

I am also at beach running. I miss running along the beach up by my mums!

Thenightsky - my parkrun is wolverhampton; is it yours?! DH is laughing at me continually checking my phone bug I'm guessing it'll be the morning now.

at beach running!

Mine is Scunthorpe.

Not close at all then! Hope you get/ got your result and its what you wanted.

Just got my result. 41.22. Wohooooo. 2.30 off my first run last week. And I really thought I'd done badly. It's so hard to tell. I am unbelievably shocked and proud. I'd given myself 6 months to get into the 30's but am now aiming for 39 minutes. Ds knocked 2 mins off and came in at 27 mins. I love that we've found something we do together which we both love.

Well done to you and DS baking :)

Well done everyone, great results! Mine was posted late last night; 30:38. A pb so happy with that!

Well done on your pb knackerelli

I am going for a run with a friend later as she's lost her running mojo. I doubt it will beat any of my pbs but at least I'll be out which I really don't feel like at the minute

Well done Knackerelli and Novice and her ds
Have been doing intervals on the treadmill this morning at the gym, really want to up my speed!

Intervals are great for speed lizzy good on you. My intervals have really helped my sprint finish at parkrun.

35.21 so a new PB for me! Well pleased.

Well done thenightsky

I love hearing of new pbs :)

Got my result, finally. Unfortunately, no PB this week (10 seconds off), but I'm pretty happy with my time - shaving off a minute every time had to end some time. But intervals sounds like a good idea - I'm coming round to the idea of running more during the week, will give it a try before my next parkrun!

Well done for being that close to your pb newrowsees was it easier than last time? I'm sure you'll beat that pb soon.

Some fab results here . No PB for me either - I was saving my energy for running home afterwards .

Another 9 and three quarters today for me. 10 weeks exactly until my marathon!

Got my result. Not a PB but a full two minutes faster than last week's feeble effort! Onwards and upwards. ..

Knackerelli - snap, same time as me! Congrats on PB!

Yay, well done Iggity; fab time

Did my 2nd parkrun this week ( first at my local park). Got chatting with some great people and looking fwd to catching them next week.
My time improved from 29:43 on my first run to 28:18 this week. I feel pretty good. Was kind of to discover that I am a veteran.
I would like eventually to do a sub 25 but think I may have started too late.
What's a shred? Is it very hard work?

jelly - well done. Do you mean veteran as in age?

The shred is a Jillian Michaels DVD workout. There are often support threads about it. Yes, it's hard , but it is really good for fitness and toning.
