Whinlatter parkrun is brilliant :)
I especially loved the safety bit of the brief briefing - somewhere along the lines of

"it's a fell, there's weather - some of it is still on the ground and icy - you'll see where, it's white"
wasn't intending to run any - but fast walked - aided by my "stairlift" dog and ran much of the downs. It's tough - but fabulous!

Ego took a bit of a hammering (was close enough to the start/finish that quite a few people saw) but physically fine, cheers!

Stonehaven Parkrun yesterday, second time I've done it. Never enjoyed it the first time, but did yesterday.

Maybe because I wore trail shoes and managed to run the steep hill three times. First time it was muddy and I walked the hill twice.

Ended up faster by nearly a minute yesterday.

A challenging wee course and not busy. I would recommend it.

Been pondering a few alterations to the existing parkrun format.

Maybe once a month there could be a 10k parkrun called "parkrun plus?"
Also, between May and September perhaps an evening parkrun called "twilight parkrun"?

Ideas and names copyright me :)

Too late my ex club runs a parkrun plus session. They always ran a speed session in the park in the park until parkrun turned up. The speed session was then moved until after parkrun so that people can then do parkrun the do a speed session afterwards.

you missed a great morning - a record turnout - would have been even higher if you'd come along!

We've done a couple of informal evening runs for people's birthdays. I love them.

We used to do parkrun on a Thursday evening before the park shut at around 7pm every Thursday, and it was called Darkrun! It fell by the way side a few years ago. We also had a page on facebook called Darkrunners which is where we posted stuff that was too rude to put on the parkrun official page!!
