Ride round the course on a horse, you'll be certain to break your PB.

OK, the table is updated. Quite a few runners this week, with a PB for jamesthegill, and a near-PB for Geoff.

Crypto is awarded a PB by default, of course, as it's his first run.

I don't think there are many places I haven't lived where people have done a parkrun now - Rickmansworth is my latest ex-abode to have one.

Well done Geoff, cracking time today :P

I managed a course PB at Crane Park (4 runs there now) so pretty happy with that :)

Well done guys. PB over here too :D Though last week's conditions were a little treacherous, so I was expecting to find some extra seconds on a dry course.

well done Geoff seeing as so close to 25m that must be an aim 1km every 5mins to break it then go lower each time. I went to support a friend today there time was 27m 13s not bad although foggy at start.

Not a Parkrun (as my nearest Parkrun venue is over 5K away, there doesn't seem a lot of point walking that far just to run 5K!), but a PB of sorts for myself today anyway. 3.5K (possibly the longest distance I've run since last year's Monster Race) in 27 minutes. Not earth-shattering, but quite pleasing given the ankle troubles I've been having on and off for the last 18 months, and back to my pre-injury pace.

It's pretty much the same distance as High Barnet-Cockfosters, but flatter!

OK, all updated.

PBs for Geoff and crypto, a course best for GU, and jamesthegill manages to equal his PB of last week. I haven't counted it as a PB, even though it technically *is* his PB time ...

Consistency is important.

(Also it was foggy and I kicked on a fraction too late, annoyingly.)

Well it wouldn't be, as it's not April yet.
