  • Yeah. Bit slippy and congested with loads of little people. Trod carefully as I didn’t want to ruin their introduction to running a 5k. My wife was timekeeping and reported that one poor lad double projectile vomited as soon as he staggered into the funnel. That’s the spirit.

    A better run than mine was my son (Y7) winning a battle with the other JM11-14. He got a 20:40 pb for the course and pushed his mate to a pb 12s behind him. Then he went to table tennis club and I made the mad decision to don my new spikes and try my first xc in Trent Park. Haven’t checked standings, but I know I was 50th overall and stayed upright despite turning both ankles. But I like symmetry, so whatever. More stats to follow…

  • Well done for both runs! I was just about in the top 100 at Trent park.

    I think my new favourite thing is comfortable racing. It seems so civilised!

  • Good running! Those false-flat bits running along the camber were draining. Enjoyed the holloway/descent/climb bit when there were streams of runners moving in both directions. I’m definitely not put off.

    What club are you with?
