I always think off road is cross country – but I suppose this is trail as it’s on paths.
I don’t actually have a local park run to me, and the timings/weekends and such is that I just don’t have the time for any other events that might be upcoming locally. Plus this has the added benefit of being less than 5 mins away!

I think it’d be a do the 5k hard then 10k as additional training only. I’ve been averaging ~22min for a 5k, but it’s always part of a longer run so I want to see if I can improve on that in a dedicated 5k only. Mind you,, I don’t often get a 10k chance and the last event I did was a bit of a shambles so we ended up missing a turn and doing about 9k. The one I do from home is normally achieved in 50 mins, but I see room for improvement on that too!
Plus the ‘event’ is a truly local, small, school run jobby. So it seems nice to give it a bit of support.
