2nd Parkrun PB of the year 😊. Given that this week was a lighter week on the marathon training front (no extra miles in the programme for after parkrun today and a short "long run" tomorrow) and the good pace I'd set running on Thursday I decided to go for a PB. I also decided I was going to try not looking a my watch and worrying if I was going too fast, but to run by how I felt.
The course was a bit drier than last week and the weather was a lot warmer. The combination of all these factors meant I took 58 secs off my PB for this course. Naturally I've given myself a star sticker in the training diary for this.
Another thing I noticed about today's parkrun was there were 153 female runners in the field of 292 - which means 52% of the participants were female. Wonder how many of the 1st time women were there because of Jasmine Paris winning this year's spine race?
