Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
While I am probably not going to be doing parkrun any time soon, I have gone for a couple of runs recently, and I hope to run three or four times each week for the considerable future, in preparation for future challenges. I was pleased yesterday to discover that, despite it being quite sunny and wearing warm clothes, I still managed to run 5 miles (many many times round the block), although I don't have the time (I estimate that it would be about 50 minutes).

All Lines Challenge (August 2016): 44:38 - happy with this ... For now!

I was a minute over my PB last week, but I blew past around a dozen people on my final sprint, and the course photographer got this wonderfully flattering picture of me.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
My sprint finish photo from Wepre on Saturday wasn't particularly flattering either...
Oh, and I went past Tong on the way to get there.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Two weeks of updates required this time, but I think I've got it all right. If anyone notices something wrong let me know.
Big news of the week - NO PB FOR AL!!! He's hit the wall after eight straight fastest times. But Das makes up for it by going 1:11 faster than his best. And a rare outing for Marc Gawley too.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Yes, somewhat gutted not to be able to keep the run going, but for some reason my breathing decided to be ropey for the first 4k and I couldn't make it up in the last one. Less than 20 seconds out though, so here's to next time!
Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Other way round - she was one of a dozen I sped past on my sprint finish, because I didn't want to be beaten on my course by so many tourists! Walk pacer this week after a kickabout in the park on Wednesday night practically hobbled me - the thought "football's mostly running, I'll be fine" was inaccurate!tubeguru wrote:I notice the woman overtaking you ...

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Actually, I may start parkrun soon - my potential Tube Challenge partner has run a few and seems convinced that I won't be able to beat him (to be honest, I think that it would take some serious effort on my part)! I think that in a few months, I should be happy to start.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Feel like I'm about the only regular who doesn't do Junior/Parkrun now then... Does a 70 minute football match count??......

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
What to do when running is a stupid idea and missing parkrun is not an option? Walk a parkrun. 55:42 today
