Got What I Deserved!

[Guesty26]

After overlaying for the park run i went for what i thought was a tootle round Barnsley. Thought id go a way not been before, along a few wanky roads too (Debsy) it was already 18degrees and really muggy, then it started to rain, suffered badly with the hills and made it back breathless but managed 5k in under 30m. Ju Ju talked yesterday about everyone having a bad run, todays was mine, dont run on not much sleep, late night chinese food and poor hydration, i got what i deserved. Keep running but Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail to quote some wiser man than me!!!

I wouldn’t call 5k in under 30 minutes a bad run Guesty! Well done 💪🏽

Felt a lot better tash to be honest, took a backward step today. A little jog monday then a bigger run weds hopefully to improve back on the diet too now my daughter gone back to NZ. Aiming for 10k in a few weeks touchwood!

The bad runs make the good ones sweeter 👌🏽

Well done on the 5k, loving the wa*** roads comment!!!!!! But you did it, another run bites the dust eh

[Debsy2008]

😬sorry the wanky roads didn’t help your run 😂🙈

I agree the prep the day before can make all the difference. I learnt that lesson last weekend to will be drinking plenty today before running in the morning... water on a Saturday night and alarm clocks on a Sunday... I hardly recognise myself 😱

"wanky" roads are a pain lol..lol. Hey if you produce that time on a bad run, well done you!! I'm going try that chinese takeout and see if I can match it.

Special fried rice n special foo yung not just mine may i add! Few carbs got me thru i think

Bad run...? 5k in 30mins..? Doesn’t sound too bad to me. Well done. 👍🏽

[Guesty26 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Its not a bad time your right but it was the first time i wanted to quit, couldnt breathe and had terrible jelly legs, didnt enjoy that feeling, nearly sick at the end!!

[Razouski in reply to Guesty26]

It sounds grim, maybe when it's horrible and muggy you need to slow it down a notch to avoid that awful feeling.

Hope the next run is a bit happier.

I know it's all relative to what we can do but 5k in 30 mins 💭 what dreams are made of 😉 .. well done for making the most of a "cough" bad run.

[Richard7 Graduate10 in reply to Guesty26]

That doesn't sound nice .. I hope your next run is more pleasant. I have been trying to push myself to run faster and yesterday for a change I set out really slow .. had a great run totally enjoyed it I would say more than any other run. I am sure you will find your happy run next time out 👍

I was supposed to be in Baaaaaarnslet today but cried off. I wanted to be alone 😁 in Derbyshire instead

I intend doing the Parkrun there at some point. There is some seriously good countryside to explore there

[Guesty26 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Beautiful round here your right, ive done the park run unofficially and it was hard, big hill to go up 3 times but i will do an official one shortly me thinks.
