Stretford Parkrun done. 21c at the start, 24c at the finish, so took it nice & steady & walked about half of it. Still managed my trademark sprint finish though! Definitely no PB today, nor was I expecting or attempting one

For those of you with a Garmin watch and that do Parkrun, there is a new watch screen that holds all your Parkrun details. Useful if you forget your barcode or if you get injured whilst out on a run.

I set mine up a few months ago and still not used it ‍

I like that new Garmin and having the parkrun barcode on it will help - forgot my barcode this morning but remembered just in time to dash home and get to the start with a few minutes to spare. The adrenaline must have been pumping as I managed sub 28 which is the quickest I've done for a while, wouldn't recommend doing that every week though! Nice flat course.

4:30 is ridiculous though ! haha

Agreed. 3.30 am is prime time. Think Gaz must be getting lazy in his old age.

Only one run for me this week. Getting my endorphin fix on the bike instead. Ten cycle rides this week and clocked up 150 miles. I'm on the road before 6.00 am most mornings and loving this hot weather.

I've managed a run most days recently, but missed the last two days due to injury.

I rarely get injured, but I've picked up a bruised left heel. I probably got it on Wednesday evening, playing football, but I have no recollection of a challenge that could have caused it.

So I'm reluctantly missing my usual Parkrun today. I've had a bruised heel before, and although running is less painful than walking, I think only complete rest from running will bring about the quickest recovery. Very annoying, but I suppose it is for the best.

On yer bike.

Easy now old timer, obviously I do a two hour yoga workout before my 4.30 runs

On yer bike.

Haha. I've got a decent bike, but not used it in a while.

I went against my own advice, and did a Parkrun anyway. 25:49 in the heat at Delamere, which I'm pleased with. There was no pain at all on my heel, perhaps because when running, you push off from your toes. I'm not injuries expert. Very pleased I could run without discomfort though.

The Parkrun barcode scanner worked a treat.

The last 3/4km were the hardest I have ever had to work to carry on. Proud of myself if only for the fact that I did the full 13 miles.

Happy with this today
