The perfect race - good warmup, ideal conditions, strong throughout. Event PB by 4:34, distance PB by 3:05 💪 #twilight10k #IpswichTwilight #RunIpswich #running
More #parkrun tourism this week - this time at University Parks in Oxford. My second visit at this event and I managed a course PB by 4:09. Definitely flatter than last week’s Cornish adventure! #parkrunuk #loveparkrun

One year ago today on a sunny Saturday morning, I took charge as Run Director of the very first Christchurch Park #parkrun event in Ipswich, the successor to Ipswich parkrun. The photo below shows me delivering the run briefing to the 696 participants we had that morning. #parkrunuk #loveparkrun
Memories to last a lifetime. What a five years. Super Kieran McKenna 💙🤍 #itfc

I stayed over in Peterborough last night for a works social, so took the opportunity to revisit Ferry Meadows #parkrun this morning. A hard slog in the heat and after a beer-heavy evening, but still a course PB by just over two minutes 💪 #parkrunuk #loveparkrun
Kirton Friday 5 last night - smashed out a new 5-mile PB of 44:22. Tough conditions in the heat! #running
Kesgrave parkrun with James this morning Event PB ✅ parkrun PB ✅ All time third fastest 5km ✅ Not quite the sub 25 I was aiming for, but still pretty good 💪
Great start to the day joining the LJFitness social 10km, following the Woodbridge 10K route. #running #ljfitness #ljfitnessruns
