Perfect Organism First decent park run of the year (the one we did after my birthday night out was a shambles!) and I'm really happy to say that I finally broke the 20min barrier. I knew I had to hit a fast pace quickly, which wasn't a problem, but the challenge arises when trying to maintain that. My first two miles were almost a carbon copy of each other, but my pace dropped by about 10secs in the last mile. I had an idea that I might break the barrier as I turned to climb the last hill, and by the time I got to the brow I knew that I was going to do it and managed to enjoy the last few metres. Very, very happy to have achieved this today, and I hope that I can take it a step further and break 19.30. Got the Arena race here in a few weeks too so this was a great trial for that. The official park run time was 19.44, but I'm going with my watch time of 19.43 as the distance I covered with that was 5.05km so I think it's fair to go with the lower time. Unaffiliated 19:43 19:43 20:00 19:43 66.23

About this parkrun

Three laps (one small, two big), all on tarmac footpaths in the park. Seemed completely flat to me. About 400 runners, so a little crowded but didn't seem to be a problem with congestion. Well marshalled, friendly.
