Hard Work...

[TedG]

Did the W1 R1 of Ju-Ju’s 10K plan today but struggled to get into a rhythm even though it was only 2.5k. See how the 5k goes on Saturday 🏃🏃

Thanks Jan...it’s gonna be flippin’ cold for sure..brrrrr 😒

I did the 2.5k tonight and found it harder than doing a 5k!

Not sure why really?!

Fingers crossed for Saturday for both of us X

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Slinkyminky]

I don’t know why either. I went out a bit quicker and paid for it, I should know better 🙄

My first Parkrun on Saturday, feeling a tad apprehensive even though I graduated doing a charity run on Sunday.

Enjoy your run on Saturday 😊

No need to be apprehensive about parkrun - for a first timer, to see for yourself how it all works and enjoy your run , plan on starting right at the back, overtake the walkers and then start picking off the slower runners one by one until you can no longer pass anybody - you will find that to be fun and you will get some idea of where you "fit into the pack"

Thanks for the info Baz, I'm going be a lot nearer the back for sure, but no worries, it’s all about taking part 😊

As advised line up near the back. You will be welcomed by people who will see you are new to Parkrun the starter even asks if there are any first timers. Everyone will give you a cheer. Bazza gives good advice. Slow and steady pace and hold it to 3K then you will pick off those who went out too quickly.

Well done, sometimes runs are like that... good luck today. Take it steady and enjoy the outdoors. Gorgeous pic. 😎

Parkrun was cancelled due to weather and footpaths are too icy so it’ll have to be another day. Going to Brighton to visit Daughter and grandchildren tomorrow, so may try to do the run then 🙄
