I haven’t done parkrun since last year! The grass section at War Memorial Park has been horribly muddy and I haven’t felt like slogging through it. This week’s been drier and I psyched myself up for one last session for March.

Result: DNF

One of my big goals for 2012 was to manage some training every week, no matter what else was going on. To that end, a parkrun with my brother-in-law and a mate, ticks the box on the final Saturday of the year.

Result: 18:45 (21st/286 overall)

Only a few Saturdays left this year, and nearly a month since my last parkrun. I’m enjoying that I don’t even have to think about whether I’m going until 8:35 a.m. and don’t worry if I’m not feeling 100%.

Result: 18:54 (7th/166 overall)

The last couple of weeks have been about preparing for next year. I need to write up my awesome bike fit session at Athlete Service in Henley last week, but I’ve also been working out with Nic how to split my winter training time. One thing we agreed was that I should try to keep a race distance run in my weekly programme. Having come across parkrun for the first time earlier this year, and been along to watch Em run it, it looks like it would definitely fit the bill on winter Saturdays. So, this morning, off I went.

Result: 19:12 (11th/244 overall)
