Quite a good speed for a new location. 😊👏 There was excitement and a competitive spirit in this race, which definitely livened up the race. The route itself was also pleasing. 😊🏃👍🏻
Cheers ! Yeah, that was a lot closer than some others that I've had recently. It is a nice course, fairly flat, but does sweep down as it goes through the trees, the gradual ascent after that probably slowed me down a bit.
Good run Matt. Yes, could see the pace dropped a bit on you in the last mile but you are still in good form. Have you ever tried negative splitting the 3 miles?
Cheers Keith! I have tried negative splitting, but often I find I get stuck at that initial pace, like the previous parkrun at Poolsbrook, I set off at 6:30 pace with the intention of increasing the pace as I went, but although the effort went up, the pace stayed the same. Usually the only time I do manage it, is if I'm taking it easy and get carried away towards the end !

Great, spotted a few of my running buddies at this 'local' parkrun.
Ah, awesome !
Another nice Parkun!
Thank you !
@@MattClarry Wonder if you could put up ( once anyway ), the stats in m/km for the entire Parkrun for a change ? 😉😉
