My move to Cornwall is delayed by at least one week, so will probably be at Homewood this Saturday.

Oh that's a shame would have joined you if not at Great Salterns

I may have pushed myself little bit too hard on Saturday. My watch said my max heart rate was 202 BPM!

Crazy it must be the cold weather as I spent 20 minutes in maximum (red) heart zone and same course the week before 30 seconds slower was only 3 mins in the max

Blimey Glen, I thought mine was bad at 190

I've decided it's best not to know mine, as most weeks I get asked if I'm ok when I cross the line!

I finally ran at Walsall Arboretum today, despite it being my "home" event when I first signed up nearly eight years ago. As it isn't that close and I didn't have the time or motivation to make the journey, I never ran it and eventually a properly local one started which got me into it. Anyway, a pleasant three lapper with minimal gradient change.

LOL yeah happens to me a lot as indeed by the token hand out guy on Saturday. After 30 seconds I am generally fine

To be fair that is a measurement of fitness. How quickly your heart rate, and yourself, return to normal.

Here is the update to 22/01/22

Kingsbury Water have broken the proverbial glass and started using an alternative course that avoids nearly all the mud, so I went there today. It got me wondering though, would you prefer a one lap course that has a fair amount of paths that are muddy and/or narrow (like KWs normal course), or a two lap course which has much better ground conditions (like the B course)?

For me it's the two lapper. I always like two lappers anyway, and since I'm going for a faster time at the moment then good conditions help

Personally I prefer, Out & Back, One Lap or Two Lap courses, when it starts to get to Three laps or more I struggle!

This week was a lovely two lap course at Roundshaw Downs, although you don't gain much height its enough to get great views towards London when you are up top.

Same - although I did enjoy Great Salterns last week, which is a three lapper.

I like 3 lappers, you know exactly where you are / how far to go on the last lap which you know you are around only a mile from home when starting

anybody wishing to join me i have chosen wycombe rye for my 250th parkrun on last feb of month.
