Tick Tock Tim 2nd parkrun 31st out of 58 men or 41/121.
Worked covershift so didnt get to bed until 0340. Set alarm for 0840 and just got dressed and left w/o breakfast. Windy and squally showers, quite cold but nice for running. Felt v heavy legs in warm up but gave it a good shot anyway.
Started quicker, felt slow up 1st hill but kept pushing on. Steady downhill and hard going up heartbreak hill. Gave it everything on last k, realised I was on for a useful time.
With training I can get up heartbreak hill & gain time there.
Happy with time, volunteered to marshall next week. Unaffiliated 20:52 23:14 24:30 24:00 55.56

About this parkrun

My first parkrun, still one of my favourites. One loop, but remember to save yourself for the infamous Heartbreak Hill. Great sprint finish.

Nice course with a long climb not long after the start and a steep one at around 2 miles. Good bit of downhill in the last mile though and a nice fast flat finish.

Great route & park. Decent field 200 odd? Plenty space at start before narrows into trails, gentle climb for first mile then down turn round back into park centre - sharp uphill, but short - downhill mile flat to finish. Parking, toilets, cafe, play.

In Callender Park Falkirk. The first 400m is tarmac, then a trail path which climbs moderately for just less than the first mile. Then you descend steadily before the Killer hill is just after 2 miles, then a steady descent to the finish.

Hilly course, one long at the start, steeper one about two miles, downhill finish from there. Really enjoyable one lap loop.
