Don’t Run This Parkrun Until You See This (15% Gradient Finish!)

I went back to my hometown of Bath for the Brickfields Parkrun winter course, after being promised a nice, flat route. Instead, I found myself "aggressively ice-skating" through mud and climbing more elevation than I did during the entire Berlin Marathon. Watch as I attempt to keep a sub-20 minute pace while navigating a chaotic "Japanese U-turn" and a brutal 150-meter uphill sprint that hits a 15% gradient right at the finish line. Between being chased by 18-year-olds and my heart rate hitting 180+ BPM, this was easily my most "spicy" 5km of 2026 so far. Did I beat the clock, or did the "Pain Train" claim another victim?
