Park Loop 5.31km Variation

The Oak Walkway

Private Path owned by The Pewterspear Trust

Due to the Fleetwood Town v Gateshead game being off, I extended my usual Park Loop run slightly from its typical 4.45km to a 5.31km Park Loop Variation instead.

I ran at a reasonable pace, before picking my pace up for the last 500 metres or so, where I began to put in a fast sprint attaining 17.0km/h for about 100 metres, before settling down to about 15km/h for the remainder.

I often find that it's usually much easier to put in the effort at the end of the run as you know "that effort" will soon be over.
