Another #ParkRun week and pushed it down to
00:30:09
This weeks average was up to 00:29:03. While it might only be a minute, I think it will take smome work to get there.
#parkrun
1k running, 4k walking - very frustrating but finished.
Really not coping well with being injured, going to investigate some strategies.
Thanks for all the encouragement here.
Tons of people at Hastings this morning.
Huge thanks to all the volunteers.
Enjoy your weekend and your running.
#Parkrun done, AND I hit 100km down for #TheMay50K... but I'm not done yet. Read the latest blog update as I sweat through the final week of fundraising for #MS and DONATE TODAY!!!
Thread to share some #TrailRunning#ParkRun#Communities and #Charities that constitute the actual broad ranging “culture” and “scene” (🤮hate those words) of trail running in the US for ordinary masses of humans across countless cities and 50 states beyond just 2 elite niche races in the tiny towns of Auburn California and Silverton Colorado (👀 Western States & Hardrock) that people seem to think represent trail running in the US. #JoinIn
Je ne comprends pas : pas de certificats médicaux requis en Allemagne, les gens sont responsables de leur santé. Ceux qui ont des problèmes cardiaques savent qu'ils ne vont pas tenter un marathon... pourquoi ce n'est pas pareil en France...
May the fourth... day of running be with you! Updated my #May50K run while wearing a Mandalorian T-Shirt (as you do), with added #Parkrun fun and thanks to sponsors. Why not join them and sponsor me TODAY?
Morning Andy! All off for #ParkRun this morning - everyone bleary eyed and grumpy. Youngest is giving it a go for the second time (first time she was not a fan) so planning on a jog, and I had surgery on my foot last week so will be walking. Trish will be like lightning as per, so there will be 3 of us at beginning middle and end! It's grey and rainy, but will hopefully will be a positive experience. Hurrah! How about you?
I did my fastest parkrun in many years yesterday. It has been hard to keep my progress slow and steady, instead of rushing in and overdoing it like I am inclined to do, but it's starting to pay off!
A month, maybe two, and I'll be back under 30 minutes again!
One of the stretch goals in 2024 is now accomplished! I got my latest PR in today's #Parkrun 5K: 21:38 at pace 6'57"/mile, thus reaching my goal of getting sub-7' pace!
Going in I was pessimistic because of the jet lag. Turns out running uphills with 1300ft elevation gains in #Sintra#Portugal paid off!
Last week's #Parkrun was in Norway, this week I'm in Norfolk. Or possibly Suffolk. The town of Harleston is in Norfolk, but Harleston Magpies hockey club, where the parkrun takes place is the other side of the river in Suffolk. Where it may be, it's a friendly little run, three twisty laps on the hockey club fields, then tea and coffee for a donation in the clubhouse after. My 228th Parkrun at my 52nd location. https://strava.app.link/w1QcrR64KIb
Today I did something unprecedented: I ran without music and notifications.
As soon as I finished my warm-up walk I realised that I forgot my earbuds at home 😱. It came to either delaying my run of 15-20' to walk back and take them or #running without them.
So I turned this catastrophe into an opportunity: listening to my breath and making no noise with my feet. As soon as it got noisier I would correct my stride and my pace.
