Selby Parkrun - POV

A cracking and nippy little out and back course with zero hills and plenty of headwind lol. This was my fastest parkrun this year, perhaps not the wises thing to do day before a 10 mile race, but I just loved it and that my friends, is why we do this.
Really hope you enjoy this, I really did xx

What a brilliant run. We went to Conyngham Hall yesterday and we watched yours again to get a feel for it.

Love this. Cheers Dean, you notice from Thursday on the parkrun video views start to jump up I imagine for the same reason I know we do it too. Hope you enjoyed Conyngham Hall 😉

Cheers Craig. Great video. Congrats on a good, solid run. It's funny as somebody I know on Strava also ran Selby and I was thinking the map looked quite dull. Knowing it's an old airfield, now makes sense. I imagine the wind would be an issue on a breezy day. Thanks again and I hope your 10 miler went ok. Ps. I'm far too young to remember The Flintstones. 😆🤣😂

Cheere Colin, was a mad rush to the start at one point I thought we weren't gonna make it which would have messed up my 200th planned in September lol. Yes Mandy pitched it to us on the morning as it's a boring out and back but rain wasn't due till after we had run which sold it to us. Turned out not to be boring 😄 The wind was very much felt on the day so anything above a brisk breeze will likely hold you back from a pb lol

@@TheRunningWhale Out and back so I guess it can’t be windy both ways. 🙂

[@TheRunningWhale]

Hmmmm not sure that's completely true here in our Yorkshire Bermuda Triangle 🤣🤣

Well done Craig, was that 23:20, you’re flying at the moment🚀 Is Selby an old airfield, reminds me of Newbury Parkrun😊

[@TheRunningWhale]

Thanks Andy, did go off a bit fast on this knowing I had the eccup 10 race this morning but thankfully, it didn't stop me smashing it 😀. Yeah I believe it is and old airfield, great course to TT on for sure and see where you're at.

@@TheRunningWhale How did Sister Mandy do?😊

[@TheRunningWhale]

@AndyCliffMTB she managed to finish just under 40 mins. I'm going to get her a plan put together and get 5 mins off that before the end of the year, she's gonna love it 🤣🤣

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@TheRunningWhale I'm going to come over and join you both, we'll be Mandy's fighter escorts, good cop bad cop sort of approach (me good obviously)....:)

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@TheRunningWhale And sub-40 - excellent!

Like you say it isn't Selby at all its Burn, the old airfield, great for a PB on a calm day, thats what its known for, most people got to it for that alone.

[@TheRunningWhale]

Honestly, we had such a mad panic on getting to it, not made any easier by sister Mandy squeezing every last drop of petrol before filling up and a random train crossing thrown into the mix 🤣
