Great effort and that looks to be a lovely course to run. I'm fairly new to Parkrun and am working toward a 25 minute time to begin with. Pie in the sky goal is 20 min, but I'm turning 55 this year so I'll have to put in much more work than you young whipper-snappers would!
Well done in getting the sub 22. 9/10 I have the issue of going with the wrong group at the start and trying to match the pace only to be done in by the first mile. I like watching anything running related and caught on to the Ben Parkes line. I enjoyed your video, soon to videos just as much. Roll on the sub 21. I am just coming back from injury myself.
Great push at the end, I also went for a sub 22 last Sunday on a hilly course, 21:50. Am 65 so it's getting harder. My thought process when going out too hard, "I put in that much effort, not going to waste it by slowing down." Then again I didn't go as fast as you for the first k, only 4:11.
Nice one on the pb! Often happens after marathon training. I currently have 8:30 of POC footage of a 19:45 parkrun before the Insta died. Working out how to weave a tale around that.
Thanks! And congrats again on your sub-20, John! Man, the Go 3’s depleting battery sure is frustrating. Hearing that beep waaay earlier than expected… Ergh!

Love this! Another PB smashed out bud, well done!
Cheers, Chris!

Haha, I wish I had started running much earlier… Seeing teens jog past me is no fun!
Best of luck with the sub-25!
Well done 👏 I loved the "thank you" comparison 🤣🤣. Happy Anniversary to you both too 🎉
Haha, cheers!
Congrats on the new PB, great effort!
Thanks!

Thanks for watching and the comment! Hope your injury recovery is going well. Let’s get sub-21… DONE!

Well done! Hopefully I can pace things better next time!
Well done, Mac sub 22 is a hard pace and my ultimate goal to
Well done again, brilliant timing .
Thanks, James!
That is a fantastic time. Well done 👏👏👏
Thanks! Hopefully can chip away at it with some better pacing 😅
Quality PB and great video 🎉
Cheers! ❤️
Congrats on the pb. Better pacing and you got sub 21 in May!
Yeah, really happy with the result given the awful start. Will eye sub-21 soon!
Great effort mate - the course must be one of the flattest in the UK! Sub 20 next!
49th fastest out of 760 (2023 numbers) and it’s definitely nice and flat. It’s great… when it isn’t underwater!!

Nice work mate 🤙🏽
Thanks!
Nice vid mate
Thanks!
2:45 that made me laugh🤣🤣
Going over the wood chippings twice also slow some momentum
Yeah, it can be quite jarring to suddenly have no rebound from the shoes there.
Good job!
I myself have a pb of 20:45, aiming for sub-20 hopefully soon!
Hell yeah! Hopefully I can drop below 21 soon with some *slightly* better pacing… Best of luck with breaking 20!
Sub 20 my goal as well but age means it may take 6-9 months to get there.
My 5k just 23:40
45 year Old July 2024
I hope in 2025 under 22 - 21minute before 46 year Old🤗
That's epic! Just gotta keep chipping away!
