Dooogs May 2013 9:08pm, 6 May 2013 688 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs Tiggia - not yet. I only did C25K in the autumn so I'm still new to running (well, new as in it's the first I've done for 21 years). I'm very near to Meltham and quite near to Holmfirth Harriers but with a 1-yr-old and 3-yr-old, it's a challenge to get out of the house before 9pm on a weekday... any recommendations for if things ever get less hectic? SE - good stuff - I'll be the unfit-looking one in a vintage Wednesday top. It is a bit hilly - there'a lovely long downhill on the full two laps but that's balances by a few long upwards slopes and a nasty uphill loop to finish with...

They're really friendly and are really supportive if you just want to go every now and again - they're understanding of family and are just happy to see people whenever suits them. Can understand it's hard to get out before 9 though!
Steady Edina May 2013 9:55pm, 6 May 2013 12,809 posts	Quote Pin Steady Edina I just wondered because there were a few finishers around 50 mins. I did my home park run on Saturday in about 43 mins and I was last to finish
Tiggia May 2013 2:13am, 7 May 2013 12,007 posts	Quote Pin Tiggia Sorry, completely missed your question first time! The park is on a hill, not massive at all, but not pancake flat. I ran 44 first run back the other week, and my friend ran walked in 50 last week. The route is a little loop then two laps of the park. Undulating I think would cover it! Do you just fancy a change of scenery?
Dooogs May 2013 9:43am, 7 May 2013 689 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs Judging by how many runners walked to the top of 'my' hill and then jogged down, I think the terrain does lead to quite a few run-walkers. Based on last week, there would be a fair few coming in slower than 43 / 44 mins. Thanks, Tiggia - the McAlpine (or whatever it's called this week) is the wronf side of Hudds for me but I'll keep it in mind if I'm ever organised enough to join a club (say, in 17 years time or so)...

Dooogs May 2013 10:06am, 7 May 2013 691 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs SE - I forgot to add this - the graph not particularly accurate as it doesn't map the internal paths of the park but it does show the approximate elevation... http://www.fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1238549&subtab=elevation

Doooogs that link just took me to a list of my routes. Hills are good for you make the legs strong but there are not many of them in my part of Manchester
