That's usually my Parkrun of choice when I'm up in Manchester as it's within walking distance of my digs in Castlefield. Beautiful park, nice varied course and super friendly volunteers.

Isabel Trail Parkrun in Stafford completed in 29:49 this morning.
There were so many barking dogs at the start this morning that it felt like a strange bloodsport involving dogs chasing humans. Release the hounds, Smithers!

My lad is running Chester next week. I know a few on here mentioned they were doing it, do we have a total headcount? Anyone running in a City shirt will get extra support from me!!

Is he doing the metric Marathon or is it the full 26 miler?My lad is running Chester next week. I know a few on here mentioned they were doing it, do we have a total headcount? Anyone running in a City shirt will get extra support from me!!
Good luck to him anyway!
Wilmslow Parkrun in 28:25 this morning (unofficial). I was going to do Peel, but changed at the last minute. Going off recent comments here, I'll make sure to do it soon.
My doctor told me to stop taking the iron tablets, and to have my levels checked again in eight weeks. It will be interesting to see if my iron levels drop, like they did last time I stopped taking them, 20 months ago. My energy dropped off and my Parkruns went down to around 37 minutes of hard slog. Not pleasant.

Made my debut at Wythenshawe parkrun this morning. It’s a flat course so was good to see where I’m at. Went round in 22:30.
No chance I’m getting close to 20 minutes this year.

One of those days sadly.
Kept my powder dry for two days, put my cheat shoes on in preparation for a fastish half marathon.
Managed 10k with a stop. Mediocre pace and was fully prepared to stop from the first K. Sat here peeved off about it thinking I need to get out again to right this wrong.
Strange thing this running lark as I felt on an upward curve and then a day like today happens.

I think I might do a trail 10k later tonight. Just a nice slow one.
Event wise Ive not got much booked in. Pacing my missus on the Bournemouth half next week and then the Delamere half in November. Should not think like this but as I know Im well off it compared to previous years its a bit of a barrier to paying out the fees to participate in races knowing your times are going to be well down.
What about you Stuuu? I think you have had a bit if a disrupted year or so like me. Are you back out regularly/racing etc?

Same here, I'll probably be near him, aiming for 3:30 but going off of my training anywhere between 3:35-3:50 looks more likely.The full job. It’s his first one - aiming for sub 3.45

Pacing the missus sounds like a good one: participating in an event without the pressure.I think I might do a trail 10k later tonight. Just a nice slow one.

As for me, I'm overweight and in poor shape but I'm giving myself the winter to do something about it and hopefully take part in something in the spring. Haven't done any races in ages!

Same here really. Its all about next year. Get the base right and then be in a good place for next spring.Pacing the missus sounds like a good one: participating in an event without the pressure.

Winter is the best time to resolve things also. Less pressure to go out, less people on the trails and running in the dark is a good stimulus. Good luck with it.
