Yeah, it was a few metres longer. I've done it a few times lately as it's fairly quiet. My position was 95 on Saturday, compared with 562 for my most recent run at Stretford, and it wasn't purely down to a faster run.

If it wasn't down to a faster run, then what was it? Less people? A wee short cut? Beta blockers?Yeah, it was a few metres longer. I've done it a few times lately as it's fairly quiet.

Fewer people at Sale. Stretford is usually rammed.

Moreton 10k on Sunday. Not raced that distance before so was a bit tricky trying to pace the run. As it happens the slight inclines and soft sandy conditions soon slowed me down so never had to worry about going off too fast. Really enjoyable event and as it was not strongest field got a decent placing and a time of sub 43 minutes.

6204 finishers at the 1000th Bushy Parkrun, the volunteers deserve a medal.

Call me an old misery but that would be the last park run I would have turned up for.
The start would be as packed as walking down the old kippax steps, post match.
Wow. That's crazy. How did they estimate how many finishing tokens to bring? Where did they all park? And I thought Stretford was congested!
