I Tried to Run a parkrun PB After a Cruise Holiday | Shipley Country Park 🍂

In today's video:
After two weeks away on a cruise around the Canary Islands — with plenty of walking, little structured training, and a long drive home the day before — I wasn’t expecting fresh legs!

Still, I couldn’t resist heading to Shipley Country Park for my first visit to this scenic parkrun. The course has a lovely mix of tarmac, trail, and gravel paths, surrounded by classic autumn colours. Despite feeling tired, I gave it a proper go to see what kind of time I could manage.

In the end, I finished 12th overall out of 258 runners in 22:53, taking 2nd place in my age category (VM50-54). Not a PB this time, but a great morning run in beautiful surroundings.

🏃‍♂️ Next up: easing back into training before my next race!
