Between parkrun 1 and 2

Between parkrun 1 and 2

It was 5 weeks between my 1st and 2nd go at parkrun. In that time I ran 45miles (I ran about that far all of last year), some of which was on ice and snow, 4miles was not only in snow but up and down very tough hills.

Unfortunately in that time I’ve also picked up a muscle strain in my lower abs (Cara know the name) so I’m starting to take a wee break here and there, the hardest being tonight when I should be playing football.

The 2nd parkrun went great, I ran as hard as I could and at the end was nearly sick but I had knocked 59seconds of my personal best for the 5Km bringing it down to 23:50, that’s an average of just under 7:40min/miles, which is by far my best speed for a run over 1mile.
