I entered the famous 250 club i never thought when i started i make anywhere near that ah well on to 250 different which should be 9 weeks worldwide 12 weeks uk from now. a great parkrun was wycombe rye grass though at start and end is probably worth changing into trails as too slippy for road shoes despite 80% being perfectly fine.

Brillant achievement! What's your plans after reaching 250 different parkruns? Are you just going carry on doing different one indefinitely?

Had a nice run at the comparatively small East Park parkrun in Wolverhampton. There were no walkers, so the Tail Walker had to jog in a time just over 40 minutes. It got me wondering what the fastest Tail Walker time has been - I'm guessing it must be under 30 minutes at a small event somewhere. Any guesses?

I spotted this, well done bro'
I wondered if it was another timing glitch, but obviously not. I recon you still have a sub-30 in you if you carry on at this rate! :D

And here are this week's results.

It's only the 5th time that I've gone head-to-head with Andi and he now leads the series 5-0! :shock:

I will miss next Saturday's parkrun. I'm in Lanzarote. My nearest parkrun is la Ramèe, France. Which is 2,000km away!
