SB = Season's Best.
I did my first park run on Saturday, with a hangover! Went to see the Levellers in Tunbridge Wells and stayed over with some mates. Saturday morning we did the Tunbridge Wells Park Run at Dunorlan Park. Quite a hilly course, but a beautiful location. Finished 73/228 in 25.58. I can see how they can become addictive! With better preperation I would like to aim for 24 minutes, perhaps also a flatter course might held (Hove Prom). Yesterday I did a longer run and manager 12.6 miles @ 9.37, felt great, one of my best training runs. Also doing a July Abs challange with some mates, ouch! Also weighed myself at the gym yesterday for the first time in a long time and was 85kg, so that is heading in the right direction. My target is to get to and maintain 80kg.
There's lots of local knowledge on this thread on parkrun courses. If you are going for a PB then the general consensus is to head for a prom (Hove/Worthing).................unless it's windy. But Hove Park will be quicker than T Wells.

As in football season or year? Is there a running season? 95% of the time I run with people who are a bit slower than me so it's kinda hard to tell......
Are we gonna have a Phoenix comp?
I'm going to rank it by pbs and @GNT by Age Grade.
SB and PB both 20:06.
Still crocked. No running now for 4th week and expect it to be another few weeks yet. Caused a few exchanges between mrs harmonica and me over who gets priority on the ice cubes.
SB & PB both 19:52 (AG 71.90 if we're counting)
AG probably a fairer way to position the NSC league table ?
The table is a great idea. I'd like to go on it, although I'll be near the bottom. My PB is currently 23:29, set a few weeks ago at Worthing Parkrun.
While I'm on the subject, has anyone got any advice on how I can get faster? To cut a long story short, I started running last July. I was 17st 8lb and I could barely run 5km. My first Parkrun time was 29:48 and I must have been close to a heart attack at the end. A year on and I'm running 40km+ every week (16km on Mondays, 12km on Wednesdays, 10km on Thursdays, Parkrun on Saturdays), I've done almost 50 Parkruns and I'm down to 14st 2lb. I'm pleased with my progress and it all feels much easier now than it did last winter due to having a base level of fitness. But how do I get the sort of times a lot of people on here achieve? How do I get in the 21s and 20s at Parkrun? Continue to lose weight is obviously part of the solution, but what can I do in terms of training/preparation?

Week 5 Day 1 of Couch to 5K tonight for me and my first run in my new running shoes. Whilst can't wait may be putting it a little strong I am looking forward to getting the week off to an active start.
