Testing a parkrun

Disatance: 5km
Time: 22:36

Tonight I met up with some other eager parkrunners wanting to get an unofficial midweek "fix" of parkrun. We were all there to try out a proposed new route starting and finishing at the recently opened Boathouse Cafe.

In my opinion the new course is better than the existing one as it removes the Woodland Walk which personally I am quite happy to see the back of. On the downside the finish would now be uphill which was a challenge tonight.

Going back in a couple of weeks to try out some another proposed course which gives some people chance to pb the old course first!



Distance: 5.6k
Time: 29:34

I got a bus to the park, but on the way back there was a 20 min wait so I thought "sod it, I run, why not run home" so I did. Took it at a nice steady pace and was fortunate that it's all down hill from Oldham to my house.

So, total for today:

Distance: 10.6k
Time: 52:10

Good bit of training for those 10k's albeit broken down up with a half hour chat in the middle!
