The mighty Jantastic came to a juddering halt thanks to an unwanted injury but I still had a great time setting my goals to match (number of runs and longest runs) and beat (5k time). I joined ‘the parkrun show’ team and rivalled a few team mates with similar goals and I kept my eye on their progress through each month.
I will definitely be back next year with the aim of smashing my overall score and setting new a 13.1 mile PB. I was too ambitious trying to crack my 5k time at parkrun in the freezing conditions, especially as I was deep into marathon training.
Jantastic score (overall): 91%
