Still waiting for my email.If i get rejected it would be 9 in a row :)

Don't know why people bother so much.

Brighton is just as good in my opinion, massive crowds, good vibe, along the coast and better night life after.

£50 to enter, no sponsorship needed, no faffing around.

This morning's Parkrun at Alexandra Park completed in 30:34.
My first time at this Parkrun. Very friendly marshalls, beautiful park and perfectly flat course.

Did my 50th parkrun this morning, mixed it in with some speed training on my marathon training plan, looked back at my first one which was in 2019, I came 442 in a time of 28.40, came 15th today and jogged half of it, parkrun pb is 18.05.
Parkrun is great for getting into running and also for the people you meet along the way, I would definitely recommend anyone who is considering it give it a go, and don't be put off thinking it's all fast cats, that's not what it's about, it's about getting better than you were yesterday.......oh and overtaking knob heads in rag shirts!!

I've done that a few times. It's a good course in wet weather as there is no grass or mud to navigate, just sometimes a few puddles.

I did Sale Waterpark again, clocking 31:06. We should join forces at one sometime soon.
