I'm showing decent-ish form on my usual 5k route around home, but still struggling with very inconsistent distance measurement from the garmin ('5k' varies by as much as 300m). Fairly confident I can crack 20 mins in the right circumstances and would like some record of having done so before I get too old and knackered. Since I can't rely on the gps (and haven't found a proper flat parkrun course yet), is there a track where you can just turn up and knock out 12.5 laps? The Parliament Hill one only has a very small fence round it, which obviously isn't designed for keeping people out but they still list opening times on the website (7.45-dusk).
Regarding being old and knackered, I've been getting grief from my left hip over the last month or so, which definitely gets worse the more I run. Was worried it could be the start of arthritis (just gone 38, so wouldn't be that unusal), but it actually feels like it's more on the very top/outside of the pelvic bone rather than the joint itself. Guess it might be a good idea to rest it for a while and see if that improves things, otherwise it's back to the physio.
