Cardiff parkrun full POV | The 1,000,000th parkrun Celebration! Can I Beat 20:39

This week I headed back to Cardiff for a very special parkrun. The occasion was the celebration of the 1,000,000th parkrun event worldwide, and it felt fitting to mark the milestone at the venue where I ran my very first parkrun back in 2008. There was one twist, though. Instead of the usual course, this week's event took place on the alternative route through Pontcanna Fields, offering a different challenge and a fresh perspective on one of the UK's most popular parkruns. Join me for a full POV run around the course, soak up the atmosphere from this historic parkrun morning, and see how the alternative layout compares to the regular route. Most importantly, could I improve on the 20:39 I ran at Jersey parkrun just two weeks earlier, or would the course change make that target too difficult? Watch to the end to find out how I got on! #parkrun #Cardiffparkrun #Running #POVRun #RoadTo20Minutes Running Coaching from Dawn and John costs £50 per month.
