Barnsley parkrun - is it even a personal best if it isn’t at your home run?

Parkruns… you can run them every week, knowing that week after week. You’ve only 7 days to go until you can have a blast again. But do parkrun personal bests really count if they aren’t at your home course… My home course is Barnsley, I long believed it was one of the toughest out there and that philosophy still remains. With my self proclaimed belief that you can run a minute quicker anywhere else. It isn’t easy, that is for sure! Over 3 laps, boasting 350ft of climb, with 75% of each lap being uphill and a steep downhill descent in the last 0.25 mile. Not for the fainted hearted, as you reach the highest point in Barnsley town centre in this wonderful parkrun. It’s my local, it’s my personal favourite and today is a day that I’m going to have a pop at my personal best that has stood fast since 2019. Take a watch to see how close I manage to get to beating it this week, and see how Naomi gets on as she makes a charge on her own personal best over the course! #parkrun #roadracing #roadrunning #runeveryday #yorkshire #fitness #marathonrunner #running #trainingtalk #tracktuesday #parkruntalk #parkrunstatistics #parkrunuk #parkruntourism #running #roadracing #roadrunning #runeveryday #fitness #marathonrunner #trainingtalk #yorkshire #tracktuesday #speedsquad #personalbest #halfmarathon #runningshoes #carbonshoes #carbon #nikevaporfly #motivationalvideo #motivational #inspirationalquotes #inspirational #speech #reflection #realistic #streakrunner #tracksmith #barnsley #barnsleyparkrun
