Chasing little victories at Lee on the Solent Parkrun #476

I returned to my home parkrun today after visiting the Meon Valley parkrun last weekend. The morning was quite overcast, with a strong wind affecting the outward and finish sections of the course. In these conditions, participants tended to either thrive or struggle. I ran hard but maintained control throughout the race. While my time wasn't as fast as last weekend's parkrun, I was only 3 seconds slower than my fastest time at Lee-on-the-Solent in 2025. I feel like I’m achieving some consistency with my times and will be focusing on building my endurance for the remaining races of 2025. Here are my stats for Lee-on-the-Solent parkrun #476 (my 248th overall): 🕒 Official time: 23:17 🏁 Overall position: 53 out of 431 🚹 Gender position: 47 out of 237 🎯 Age grade: 63.85% 👥 VM50-54: 2nd out of 28 #running2025 #parkrunuk #parkrun #runningmotivation #leeonthesolentparkrun Join My Running Journey & Get Inspired! 🏃‍♂️✨ Track My Progress: Garmin Connect: Follow my complete training and get the stats behind my runs!
