Alvaston Parkrun in South East Derby was established in May 2019 and takes place in the village's Park. It's a popular course attracting an average of 223 runners each week.
I chose Alvaston this week as it ranks amongst the top 5% of Parkrun's in the UK for how fast the course is (based on the Power of 10 Rankings) and I wanted to again attempt to see what kind of times I am capable of, after having a really rough week last week in tricky conditions in Beeston.
Despite feeling quite leggy prior to the run, things went much better for me today. I wanted to push the pace to 'almost' but not quite my maximum effort and try and maintain this for the full 5km. Conditions today were perfect with temperatures around 5-6 degrees, no wind, and clear blue skies.
Facilities here were good, we had free parking at the Derby Homes car park (free until 10:30) and there were toilets that opened soon after we arrived in the community building at the start. There is a cafe within the community building which opened at 9am.
