I don’t really know where to start. So let’s start with some stats.
Previous all-time parkrun PB: 28:42, Town Moor, September 2018.
Previous post-pandemic PB: 30:25, Crichton, August 2022.
Previous 2023 season’s best: 30:32, Leazes, August 2023.
BRAND NEW ALL-TIME PB 27:01 ON SATURDAY AT AGNEW :O :O :O
Combination of a summer of very hard training, a pancake-flat course, and Nike Vaporflys.
Things that are so overwhelming I can’t even begin to understand them at the moment: previous inability to get under 30 minutes post-hiatus, previous inability to hold this pace for more than 400m during interval sessions, assorted others.
I am in total shock.
