Week 1 BIG run

[EmmaA-F]

I did it, slowly as planned 🐌 5.5K (3.4 Miles) followed by a cool down and nice stretch 😁 pace is up from 4 to 4.2 but I could have kept going so will increase a little more next Thursday 💪🏻 calf’s were fine today too, the instructor at the gym suggested I foam roller to keep the muscle loose, seems to be working.

Very much looking forward to my first park run 🏃🏼‍♀️ on Saturday 🎉

Thank you 😊 it was my original goal to do a park run, there is only one local to me but I’ve been told of a lovely one in clumber park, about an hour away 😊

[Lorijay Graduate10 in reply to EmmaA-F]

Choose the one with least hills..lol..

[EmmaA-F in reply to Lorijay]

Haha... or no hills 😁

Well done Emma and enjoy Parkrun on Saturday- I’ll be doing the same. Let them know you are a first timer and don’t forget your barcode 🏃‍♀️👏

[EmmaA-F in reply to Dexy5]

They have a special meeting ten min early for first timers, my work colleague goes... checked where the start point is too. I’ve spoken to my gym and they are ok my leaving the car in their car par walking down ?walk up) and they recommended piping in and having a jacuzzi after.

Have a great run on Saturday 😁

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to EmmaA-F]

Jacuzzi’s a great idea post Parkrun!
