Every week I turn up to Parkrun and get ever so slightly faster. This time I’ve found a feature on my Apple Watch that gives you alerts if you’re “off pace”, so I set it at 4.30 and then was “off pace” for basically the whole race. Not exactly the motivating experience I was hoping for! 😆

Plus, I was trying to be evenly paced throughout, but 4.30 is still too fast for me to maintain for the whole distance. I find it helpful to have other folks around and try to stick with their pace, but at a certain point that heavy legs feeling kicks in and I start slowing down. I’ve bought myself some lighter shoes - I wonder if that will have any effect?

Anyway, fastest one yet - 22.30! Nearly at 22! ⚡️
