@steevc just finished a 6.7km run, that lasted for 40 minutes. This run helped steevc burn 459.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
I will be pace running at parkrun this weekend, so wanted to practice that pace today. I will be aiming at 30 minutes for the 5km, so a pace of 6min/km. I set this up on my watch so that I get feedback on whether I am on schedule. I think I did fairly well, but was a little quick at times. This route has more up and down than the parkrun course so that should be more consistent.

Splits

The work in Etonbury Woods has progressed and there now these 'leaky dams' on the river that are intended to reduce the chance of flooding. That does not seem likely at the moment with the lack of rain, but if we get a heavy shower is will run off the dry ground into the river and it could soon rise. We may get another shower today.

I have felt a bit tired this week, but the run went well. I was at the pub jam session last night and had a couple of beers that can mess me up a bit. I cannot drink like I did in my younger days.

There has been a call for more volunteers on Saturday. With the increased numbers they need more for things like scanning barcodes. As a pace runner I get a volunteer count as well as a running one. It really just needs more people do volunteer once a month or so. I have clocked up 65 volunteer sessions and 174 runs so far.

Run free and get to parkrun!

    6.2 miles per hour is pretty fast. I don't think I can maintain that pace for more than 5 minutes before I need an ambulance 😂

    Me also. After two glasses of beer (50cl), I don't want to drink any more.

    You should be happy they are being proactive on the dams. Ask the town next to where I live what happens when they aren't and a 100 year storm rolls through...

    @steevc, it’s so cool that you’re double dipping your count as both a volunteer and a runner!

    You’ve turned out to be the resident athlete of CWH! 🏆

    Have a great day! 🥰
