Is that the stockport 10? If so yes, if I ever gets round to entering it that is

that's the one. Just had an email with instructions for it.

2 weeks today

Wilmslow Festive 10k completed this morning.

Chip time 44:36…. Absolutely smashed my PB (previous was 46:55). Smashed my season best 5k (21:50 - nearly 1 minute quicker than my previous best this in 3 years).

Super chuffed with myself. Thank you whoever posted about 80/20 running in here :’)

Huge PB today at wilmslow chip time 37.08, delighted with that and feel I can probably dip into the 36 odd with some more training.
Cracker of a day for it today, big shout to @smevchenko who kindly sold me his place as i left it too late, PB was pretty much all down to you mate

Great running from you both! Congratulations on the PBs.

That's a seriously impressive time for 10k fella.

I hate this weather, easier to run in (as long as it isn't ridiculously cold), much harder to go out for a run though.

Anyway I wussed out of parkrun yesterday too cold for me so put me in wuss club.

Did Oulton Park 10km this morning, new PB just under 42 minutes, never run a 10km race which is why it's a new PB. I was running the odd 48min 10km in marathon training a couple of months ago.

Fairly undulating, probably chasing sub 41 on a flat course. Happy with my run though.

A quick shout out to those hardy souls braving sub zero temperatures this morning for a Parkrun. As a relative newbie, it'll be a first for me running in temperatures as low as this. It got me thinking, what do the more experienced runners on this forum wear to keep warm? This morning, I've decided to wear a compression top with a thin layer over the top but forgo my shiny new running tights (a decision I may live to regret). Otherwise, hat and gloves.
I'll await the pile-on telling me what a wuss I am!

My general rule of thumb is going off what the 'feels like' temperature on the weather app states. 5 degrees and over vest. 0-5 degrees shirt and gloves. Anything less than freezing long sleeve shirt to tracksuit top depending on how cold.

Always wear shorts regardless of temperature. Can't understand how people wear bottoms. Get too hot and start to get sweat rashes.

Fair play to anyone that did circuits of Oulton Park today. That last dip before the home straight is mingin.

I have to say that the positivity in this thread is really motivating.

The running community is great, isn’t it.

Glad to assist with the PB mate, you certainly made the most out of it!

So basically, getting up at 4am every day for weeks at a time is how to really smash those times…. might start on Monday, or the one after!

Haha, technically it's half three, but I'm sure you will get good results when you start at 4 tomorrow
