Hello All, Me & Steve tried out our first Parkrun @ Woodbank park on an icy cold saturday morning. The ice meant the organisers had to cut out the steep decents and made a circular route round the park x5 laps with a small diversion through mud under one large tree due to ice. It was great to do a 5K at higher tempo than normal. The turnout was 140 odd with wide ranging runners and joggers. really nice atmosphere. I shot off behind the leading group and once again reality hit home as the leading ten or so sailed off into the distance.
now we are all experienced ultra runners. does anyone fancy Grizdale 26 sunday 8th Feb. its looks like it is run on forrest trails around coniston. give all that new kit another spin
For those not having a leisurely weekend in Tenby there's the Cross Keys relays, half road, half fell. A few of us from Striders are going. Would be great to get some Gurus there too.
