    A return to Beacon Park for the last Parkrun opportunity of the year and jetting off for a week of skiing. With the Christmas Day Parkrun at Concord and a Boxing Day Two Turtle Doves fell race in my legs I wasn’t holding much hope in finishing this year with…

    A quick one. I keep saying to myself that I want to run a 17:30 5k. But to get there I am actually going to have to run fast. This isn’t going to happen if I keep doing events that imply running when it’s really just me doing long power…
