Places I like to run | Episode 2 | Long Eaton parkrun

join me for the second episode of a new series called ‘places i like to run’ where I will be sharing with you some suggestions of places I enjoy running locally and the type of sessions that are suited to each place.
episode 2 is the Long Eaton parkrun route at Weat Park situated between Derby and Nottingham which is a 2.5k loop mile on a tarmac path.
this makes it ideal for a fast parkrun effort and for sessions. It regularly attracts some of the fastest athletes in the East Midlands and for a 3 week period was host to the UK National parkrun record of 15:37 set by Samantha Harrison until it was broken on the 24th December 2022 by Melissa Courtney-Bryant at Poole.
athletes featured:
Jacob Edmonds
Robbie Cresswell-Howe
Steve Bullock

Thanks for the shout out Sam. Yes West Park is a great resource to have locally, especially with the start and finish marked out and the km markers in place.

Sure is - will be doing it again

Hate the km markers. Makes it seem longer for me 😂😂

[@sambassett5]

Haha especially on the second lap with 500m to go when you pass the ‘2k marker’!
