PARKRUN REVIEW: Millfield Parkrun – Event #157

This week I head to Easignwold where we can find Millfield Parkrun.

I came slightly underprepared and hit the floor on the first turn, a lesson was learned.

This Parkrun was fantastic, all the volunteers were extremely supportive and friendly.

This run was a little busier than normal due to recent storms forcing other events to be canceled, and everyone definitely appreciated a Saturday morning run!

Here’s a link to my Strava activity if you’d like any more data – https://www.strava.com/activities/10076084512

See you next week!

good morning and welcome to milfield park [Music] R today I’m in easing World down near York in England obviously storm babet is just I think finished the rain just subside about half an hour ago so that’s fantastic I’ve a strange little Affinity to this area cuz it’s actually where I did my teacher training and I haven’t been back since so it’s good to return and but I do enjoy it down here a little bit of pre-run admin before we start today obviously uh the first thing I want to say is if you do like these videos please remember to like comment share and subscribe it would be great and down below you can follow me on stra if you want to get a bit more data from the course and then today if you do want to get here and get here nice and early and go to the toilet you are going to need to go to the market Square in the center of eing world it’s about 500 M from the Market Square to the course and there are some toilets in there to open at 6: a.m. so that’s good if you need to park I’d park on the market square 2 there’s only 30 or so car parking spaces at the actual milfield Park so it’s like I said 4 500 M away it’s not far at all like a 5 6 minute drive if you jog over even quicker and then in terms of underfoot I know you run around this uh kind of I don’t know what you’d call this like compacted grally sort of course at the start this horseshoe shape they said in the first time is briefing um and it is skinny and it has been raining loads so if you look over here it’s a bit water logged I think some people are going to get wet feet today um so yeah I’m I’ve just got my road shoes I’m going to be taking easy and there’s absolutely no chance I’m getting my I’m going to avoid getting my feet wet as much as possible cuz yeah I don’t have a change of socks Unfortunately today um but yeah from now let’s head over to a course overie and then from there let’s get to the start line and see what this is all about course starts on a little horseshoe which does get really congested so be careful where you are starting is on days when it’s wet the every lap it gets slippier and slippier the the kind of gravel gets churned up a little bit so maybe wear trail shoes that’s probably my biggest regret today but it’s a three L course tiny bit undulating very f underf foot but like I said can get slippy if it’s wet um not really too much to report on a few sharp turns but no major Hills at all and I think it could be a potentially quick course maybe a potential PB course for people around here as Wellen [Music] that look good on camera though is it there yeah good [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] thank you well nearly half [Music] around Okay so I’m halfway on the second lap now I’m going to try not to fall over again I uh that Weir man of pole for it me on the very first lap on the first corner so a bit of advice if you are running here after a big storm and it’s been rain for days on end don’t try and overtake on the grass and Road shoots cuz you’re going to humiliate yourself like me um but overall great not B thank you it’s a a lovely course I think it would be really quick in Drive conditions I’m a bit undulating but now already enjoy it so far great support from the P te the the first horseshoe off the start line remarkably congested as you’ve seen in the time lapse in the video but let’s uh check our time UPS in for the rest of the course now and I’ll see you at the finish line down down down [Music] down [Music] [Music] you very much too that one before have you my it off did it work yeah there we go first time second lap off thank you can I ask you did you post the footage anywhere I’ll put it on YouTube and then I I’ll email it to you park done barard scanned just waiting for the other Striders to finish and then it’s time for our Cafe review excited to see the the cake on offer today think it’s cross some bacon butties some decent coffee a decent wedge cake for us so many lovely people around using World lots of people asking about the camera and bits and pieces like that but anyway I think the important things to Cafe review today um they did have carrot cake so that was fantastic it’s gluten-free but probably one of the best gluten-free carrot cakes I’ve had so that scores highly uh sausage sandwich with uh extra hash browns and uh some coffee all ticked ticked all the boxes um loads of seating available Upstairs Downstairs through a little side room all sorts of bits and pieces so you won’t be shy of any uh seating areas at all all in all 10 out of 10 Cafe really rated it and yeah this t-shirt’s gone down a treat everyone’s asking about it and it does scan by the way if you’re interested I got it from uh a place called uh sprinters printers in middleb um sent my barcode for he got it on the t-shirt and does the job so if you want that go to Sprinter printers not getting paid to say that so milfield park crun done and dusted um and the T-shirt scans that’s cool uh I didn’t know if it would I did uh floor myself on the very first lap so it’s a bit muddy you might see but it’s okay uh but no if you did like this remember like comment share and subscribe and remember one pizza doesn’t make you fat one Park doesn’t make you fit let’s get out there go enjoy your running and I’ll see you next week from another location ciao he
