6 weeks holiday for me from Tuesday but I will train hard to be best old man. You have a percentage I have never beaten.
I am running full to max at the moment. Trying to beat your AG percentage fits in with a sub 20. A nice target. I will give it a bash in November and see what happens. Certainly would have been a minute slower today without NSC.
Bolox, it was the new shoes [emoji3]
Interesting I was having a debate with hans krayy's fan club around professional footballers 5k times. He's of the opinion all footballers could run a sub 18 minute 5k I'm far from convinced maybe 30% of footballers at most.
And not many keepers [emoji3]
Yeah he did - he did follow a proper training program over several months. Jensen Button did 2.50 this year........

Great to see you all today at HP. I came in at 21.17 in the end, so a few seconds off my 2015 PB and 25 off the all-time one.
Second in my age group was a bonus, but lagging seriously being the rest of the NSC crew - great effort today, especially [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION] the new record holder

Well done Mrs Simgull - next stop 100 - she might even get a t-shirt before [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION]
Quick scan of the results yesterday shows 60+ 'unknowns'.....really unusual I think. Might have been a 'new' volunteer perhaps.

Congratulations. You have to beat my PB now 17:45. Probably will as well.
Annoying for your Bar Code to not be read. Mine wasn't either. Not even registered as a runner today. Did you use the middle lane? My watch time was 20:25.
The end result is [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION] gets my Hove Park record he already unknowingly held. [MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] beat me again but certainly helps my time, I skipped through a gap to go past him after 1k and within seconds he powered by and kicked up the hill. [MENTION=4949]7:18[/MENTION] ambled by listening to some tunes and helped as a pacer. [MENTION=24635]Greg Bobkin[/MENTION] helped me with our early fast pace. [MENTION=26634]Simgull[/MENTION] was behind me for the first time in weeksand Happy 50th to Mrs Simgull. Great smiling finish from 6666junior.
All in all a good run. As Godfather I am glad the spirit of the NSC challenge has worked so well.
[MENTION=635]Gary Nelson[/MENTION]'s Teacher you are the champion. I failed to match your winning Age Grade percentage. 75% something for me. I'm aiming to get you and Dazzer6666 in the next 12 months!
Great running everyone great running.. And well dong big nuts.. With your constant improvements you must be aiming for a sub 19?
Is that his secret to success?

Ran my last but one training long run before the round Norfolk relayIn 2 weeks. 10.6 miles in 1h7min 05 sec ( 6.20 pace ) took 2 minutes Off last weeks long run. Can't wait for it all to start..
Blimey, very quick [emoji41]
Glorious morning for running. Headed up to Ditchling Beacon only to find Ditchling Road shut north of the A27 for a cycling event, so parked in the layby south of A27, ran to the Beacon and turned right only SDW past BlackCap. 20km in 1hr 47 - not quick but wanted to see how ready I am for Barns Green in 3 weeks (gulp!). Not seen so many runners up on the SDW before - feels like everyone has started back up following summer I guess there are a whole load of HMs and full marathons in next few months.

Sounds like you lot had a good park run this weekend. Well done everyone.
I'm on a few days holiday in North Wales with my Dad. Despite that I've managed to pop in some miles around Beddgelert today. It's a bit hilly round here...
