Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
A very busy day with 14 of us out running this morning, it would have been 15 but I was running a stall at our local Comicon.
This Weeks Highlights
Andi set a CB at Brighton & Hove of 20:36 and in the process snatched Gold, by just 2 seconds, from Soup Dragon.
Dudey celebrated his 100th run with a respectable 23:46 at Whitstable.
Geofftech's first run at Banstead Woods sees him take Silver in course wars, in a time of 27:49. Scrxisi is demoted to Bronze and Going Underground is now out of the medals.
Steeevooo ran a SB time of 35:29 at Barking
Going Underground, powered by co-codamol, ran at the inaugural Jersey Farm Parkrun, setting the benchmark at 36:33
and finally.....
Das ran a CB and SB of 37:50 at Lymington Woodside, his first run in 18 months to score over 40% age graded.
Well done everyone, here are the full stats...https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Today's trip was to Stevenage, which was surprisingly quick and cheap to get to. A lovely two lapper, with a lake and some nice woodlands. The finish had a killer hill, but otherwise a delightful course I'd very much recommend.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Echo that stevenage is a great course not flat but undulating and an uphill finish does make my time very good if I can regularly get in in the 20 min range I'm happy indeed. Back to touristing mega after my accidental repeat last week.

I will do a summary when I have a bit more time, but quite a few changes this week to report!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
sorry that I didn't get to do the summary last week,
In summary my summary would have roughly said...
A lot of medals changed hands and Going Underground lost his only gold to Crypto.
MarcG ran for the first time in 56 weeks.
Das set a SB time at Wormwood Scrubs and missed out on a Age Graded record by 0.02
Can't keep my eyes open tonight after a busy day with the guys who came to test the Escape Run.
I will do the league tables tomorrow

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Bedford for me - a lovely course with an excellent cafe. I'm not going to make a habit of travelling that far, but I caught up with an old running friend so really worth it

I've been overtaken by plenty of people pushing a pushchair!
Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Lots of people seem to have the three wheeled versions with bigger wheels, I was passed by several today at Rickmansworth. Still possibly not great on some courses, but I'm sure locals could advise.
