Absolutely Stu. The option to run on a Saturday or a Sunday (or both) is great. These guys organise a load of runs, a lot of them on Thursday evenings as well as Saturdays and Sundays. The other thing I like too is their other runs aren't about the time. Instead the focus is on getting out and exploring and doing that in whichever way suits your abilities best. I've got plans in mind to get some of the longer events covered on the channel in the not too distant future. Thanks for watching. Hope the ironman training is going well.
To be fair, it looked like you were continually going uphill too. Lister Park Bradford Parkrun used to go one way then the other and then switched back again. This course reminded me of that because when they switched it it went from a quick sharp climb and a long downhill to a forever climb and quick descent. Thankfully its back the original way, but it completely changed the run. Be interesting if they did switch it round. Great run all the same :o)
Cheers Craig. I sent the video to them before publishing and firstly they were shocked at the gradient map but then they've also hinted they might let us run it in reverse at some point. Apparently they did it in reverse once before and the short sharp uphill caught everyone out, so I don't know if my suggestion will make me any friends 🤣 I'll probably get a better time though, so swings and roundabouts 😋
It used to be very muddy by the weir but the council have just resurfaced the path to deal with it and this was the first time running on the new path. There are still some puddles and a little bit of mud on the tow path but it is a lot better than it was and you shouldn't get covered in it. If you do plan to go sometime, let me know and we'll come down and join you. 🏃🏃♀️🏃♂️ The cafe there is really good too. ☕ 🍰

It's great to have an option to run on a Sunday, lots of people can never make a saturday

Is it muddy? I can’t do Saturdays but have always considered doing this on a Sunday
