An overnight thaw meant that there was much less snow in the woods today, but the patches of ice that remained were even more slippery than yesterday. Today's run was shorter than yesterday, about 11.5k, but again at a very slow pace apart from a 1k effort on a stretch of ice free tarmac.
Despite all of the travelling, running in 3 different countries & the 5k race on Saturday, I've managed to clock more than 100k for the last 7 days which is a good improvement from the cold effected previous week's effort. Having said that most of my running has been at a very slow pace.
I've just found out that the Power of Ten site is now classifying Parkrun 5ks as Multi Terrain events rather than road races, so they've taken them off the UK rankings lists. This seems to apply to all courses, not just Leeds. It seems a bit of an odd decsion, as the Leeds course is 95% tarmac & the remaining 5% of muddy grass hardly gives an improvement in speed. This mean that I now don't have a top 5 time for the 5k distance for my age group that I otherwise would have had.
