Parkrun Tourism

A pre-Christmas family visit meant a chance for a spot of Parkrun Tourism at Crosby Parkrun.  It's another very flat course being on the beach, but it's not easy going as there is some soft sand and some compacted sand with deep ripples in it which don't make for easy running.  

Starting on the beach and heading east towards Seaforth the route gives a close up look at some of Anthony Gormley's figures in Another Place.  The look is so close up to two of the figures that they are adorned with hi-vis Parkrun jackets so people don't run into them.  One of the figures marks the turning point where you head back to the start before leaving the beach to run along the "promenade" to run as far as the old coastguard station when another 180 degree turn heads you across the car park and onto a very uneven grass path back towards the start.

Another Place, another Parkrun

Overall a good running week having managed to run 6 of the last 7 days with a couple of interval sessions thrown in.  26.36 miles for the week - though only 158 m elevation gained as most of the routes were quite flat (last weeks Winter Series #2 was 186m elevation in just 10k)
