As I'm back visiting Emi this weekend, I thought I would take the opportunity to visit a local Parkrun and get my speed work out of the way for the week.
My running so far this week has been pretty relaxed as I try to recooperate from the marathon last week, and so I have been running in the gym and sticking to brief 15 or 20 minute treadmill sessions.
The Eastleigh Parkrun is on grass as opposed to on gravel and road which I am used to from the Poole Parkrun, and so I am not surprised that the times are slightly slower than the Poole runners.
The rain made the track somewhat unpredictable in parts and on the corners I found myself travelling sideways rather than forwards!
I managed to get round the 5k course just under 22 minutes I'm pretty happy with.
That being said, there was a 10 year old runner who beat 80% of the field! That kid is definitely going to break some people's Olympic dreams some day!
