Did the new Brock's Hill parkrun this morning. Decent course but super tight in places, particularly where runners are moving both ways. Think they might have to ban dogs because the leads were nearly tripping everyone. Not one for fast times really

Good luck everyone 🤞🏼

Will be in Leicester on Saturday, was going to buy a ticket, will go for a walk in Bradgate Park instead. Just can't face it until he goes

Yeah, the atmosphere was buzzing, helped a lot by the fantastic weather. I've done the London Marathon twice and that's the closest atmosphere to London at a running event. I'd recommend for anyone to do it if they get the chance. Dead well organised I thought. I managed 1 hour 42 mins, quite happy with that time in the heat.

Good luck to all doing the GNR today. The weather looks perfect for it.

I'll see you there, I'm looking for a time between 1.40 and 1.45. Does the number of people seriously slow you down at the start or is it wide enough to cope?

See you there with the other 59,000! 😆

Anything over a half marathon I'd say. In the heat, anything over about 8km for me.

I did Stretford parkrun yesterday near Manchester. It's a fast one if anyone's ever in the area. Starts and finishes on a running track with over 700 there. Much better conditions for running than recently!

I reckon you'll have a great time, we've been there with kids a few years ago. Look out to see if they have fireworks over the bay one night, it was amazing!

I managed 15km this morning but I was out at 7am start

You will absolutely love it, the buzz of doing London is different from anything else. Still very hard but such a buzz. Make sure you get some pre-Christmas training in, it helps in my opinion.

We did Utrecht in October and had a great time. Eurostar to Brussels then train or Flixbus. Day trip to Amersfoort was good too.

Arrived in Aix en Provence yesterday for a few days. Anyone got any great tips for stuff to do and particularly where to watch Champions League final?

I agree about the horrible hill but generally I thought the route, organisation and weather were all good today. We ran together today. She wanted under 2:30 and managed 2:18, she was very happy. Well done to you.

Chester HM for me tomorrow morning with my daughter, looking forward to it.

I'm doing it but also a first timer, feedback would be good. I heard it's great views and support, especially early on and can be chaos at the finish because of the number of people.

No, I read that it's often 10 or 15% out but useful anyway. Does yours change? Mine always says 51, perhaps I need to put more effort in.

Hope it goes really well mate, all the best.

I did the Sence Valley parkrun near Ibstock for the first time today. Class morning for running, a decent route with a little hill and great volunteers 👍🏼👍🏼

It's the nearest away for me so will probably collapse and end up buying 🙈. See what happens tomorrow too

I gave mine up at the end of last season. Not missed it as much as I expected but then we have generally been sh*te. The main problem for me is lack of access to away tickets and the crazy price of matchday home tickets.

How many pens have we missed this season?!!!

I managed 1:39.20, my best for a few years. It took a lot of training though!

Liverpool Half Marathon tomorrow morning with 14,999 others for me. Forecast is for chilly drizzle so we'll see how it goes.
