Highbury Fields Parkrun - 3.11 miles / 5 km, 22'43''

This was the first time that I had run the Highbury Fields Parkrun since October last year.  I usually train with the Frontrunners on a Saturday morning but I didn't really have the time today so thought I would do my local run instead.  This was also an opportunity to see what my 5km time is like, in advance of the upcoming Frontrunners time trial.  Conditions were warm and fine and it was great to really push myself in a race situation for a short distance.  I absolutely smashed my previous personal best time, setting a new one of 22 minutes 43 seconds, which is two-and-a-half minutes faster than my previous PB for this distance.  I really like the ethos of Parkrun and I'm going to do this more regularly, having signed up to volunteer to help run the event too.
