Just brilliant Artie! I was so impressed I looked you up in the overall results just to admire your splits!! So many good runners get carried away and get that so wrong so you must have been chuffed with the execution and PB.

Fellow Old Git respect to GNT on his 80 percenter, and to the Gaffer who seems to be able to knock out sub 21 5ks on 12 miles running in two months. A more modest 23.13 for me on my second parkrun back (69.71%) Hope to be able to get to 70% again in the coming weeks and if not, I’ll be getting...

Sorry for your loss Lamie. I was the only one of 7 in my family to like football which includes my Dad but he took me in Feb 1970 where we beat Shrewsbury 1-0 and scored after about 3 minutes. We were in the Chicken Run and we tagged along with some of my Dads mates who obviously liked football...

Was talking to Jog Shop Sam last night who said that the Weakest Link wouldn’t happen before park run restarted (as alluded to by the Gaffer) so the June date is effectively postponed. They are now looking at having it 2 weeks later on July 7, but again of course that will come with caveats...

Just along from there is Withdean Park which would be grass based. If you go up from the main road to the bottom entrance to the dog walking area, go left right to the far edge until you get to the trees, there is an uphill section there, not quite as long as Varndean Gardens but you could...

Looks like it has been cancelled Simgull

Good intel from NSC, thanks all. A bit drizzly this morning, went at 10am (Hove) straight in, no queue.

We have some brilliant runners on this thread at a variety of distances and today Dazzer you are definitely the MOM!!

Well done Gaffer that's a great run, not withstanding the fact you think you can go quicker! That sort of time is I think beyond me, even if I put some more smart training in. Which goes to prove to some extent that natural ability is a big factor regardless of how much training anyone might do.

In line with the regulations set out for the GNTMC #20951, I ran a 6:39 AG 69.36% this morning and claim 3rd place on the table before any of these fast f*****s declare a valid attempt!! Actually, after weeks of just jogging and walking was fearing much worse. Will try and summon up the...

I might have a go next week. Normally every week at our track interval training session we finish with a mile. I usually try to get under 7 minutes which is manageable but of course haven't been for about 6 weeks, during which time I've become more of a plodder than ever, so curious to see what...

Cheers Gaffer, my 2020 best is a 22:31 round Preston Park, AG 71.21%.

There is/has been some 10-1 available on Betfair for small amounts since those games finished today.

Was certainly a game of two halves this morning. Ran with a running mate for the first half but he started to struggle so I pushed on after that. Finished in 1:50 even though my final 5k would be close to a SB - last two miles 7:14, 7:11. Speaking of SB's Gaffer, is my table 'suspension' over...

Had a 22:31 (71.21%) also around Preston Park on Saturday when you next update Gaffer.

That got me thinking that it must be close to my 50 year anniversary and a quick on line check tells me it was our next home game against Shrewsbury Feb 1970. We won 1-0 and my memory tells me that Alex Dawson scored and it was right at the start in the first few minutes.

Well, I don't know how much is psychological or its new trainer bounce but Mrs.A's present of new Brooks Adrenaline 20 saw me go round Preston Park in 22.19 (71.84%) my 2019 best!! I think I might wrap them in cotton wool for special events and keep using my old ones for a bit! This even after...

This reminds me of when I wore plimsoles in the school cross country and once I entered the muddy woods section I'd had it, finishing 12th. The previous year, despite being in a younger year I'd finished high enough to run for the school in the Sussex Cross Country at Stanmer Park (top 8...
