Just signed up - where on the page is the groups? When i search GAA Board & GAA BOARD (as a test) in 'Explore - Clubs' the following comes up;

No clubs with the name GAA Board found.

Also not sure it is compatible with my watch (Nike+) might have to do some tinkering but sure I can work round that.

Let us know how you go with that - I have a strava account, but I use the Nike+ watch for my runs - can they be linked?

Use this to download the files from your Nike + account to your computer

Then just upload them manually to Strava.

Cheers, just tried it there and uploaded my latest run, though it cut off when I went through a tunnel at 2.5km!!

I'm assuming 'event limit has reached its maximum value' means it's sold out! 10 minutes in it tells you that!

Ah balls to that. I know from last year and talking to people who do it every year that there is no problem picking up an entry with people dropping out etc closer to the time. Last year was my first time and the night after the race was one of the best nights ever. Massive buzz in the village.

Parkrun PB this morning! Woohoo! Thought I'd maxed out! Didn't do the long slow run beforehand so had a bit more in the legs. Wine and a Chinese for me tonight!

@Laoislad - is the Grifeen Parkrun totally flat? Have only been at the GAA pitches and wouldn't mind a go at a new PB tomorrow..

laoislad · June 05, 2015, 12:07:53 PM

Yeah it's pretty much flat.
It's a two lap course, with a long straight stretch of about 1km on both laps, wind is usually in your back also for these stretches.
I always hate the last bit when you go over the little bridge after the long stretch, up toward the finish line, it's only about 800mts but I always struggle here.

Doing Marlay Park myself tomorrow. Would also like to try Tymon Park some time and I think there is a new one in Palmerstown.

Cheers. Marlay Pk is nice - one lap. There is also a farmers market on afterwards and you can get some savage food.

Palmerstown (Waterstown Park) is very hilly - it's essentially a park on the side of a hill from Stewarts hospital going down to the Liffey

laoislad · June 05, 2015, 01:43:17 PM

Been around Marlay a good few times, first time doing their park run though.

I see Kilkenny have a park run now also, gonna be down home in a few weekends time and will do it.
Should be nice as its in the Castle grounds.
Park run is great really considering it's free.

Were you involved in setting it up Bingo? I'd say there is a brave bit of work in it, would love to have one close to home and toyed with the idea of getting involved with starting one, just don't think I would have the time to set it up and the weekly commitment to running it.
