Great North Run Park Run prep

[ChrisAllen1]

Well, just over a week to go until the GNR and typically the asthma has flared up over the last week. I am back on the steroids but hadn't run for about 10 days.

Given all this I approached the Newbiggin Park Run this morning with some trepidation and sure enough I felt like I was struggling at about half way however I managed to shake it off and managed a strong and, by my standards speedy finish.

Time was 33.27 and I came 53rd.

Will do a 10k hopefully mid week then it's the big one next weekend.

Run happy, run safe.

Well done on your park run ChrisAllen1. That’s an excellent time and it’s good prep for the GNR. I wish you well. 🏃‍♂️👏

Well done Chris, you got through it in a good time. Take it easy doing the 10k, need those legs nice and fresh for the big one. See you Saturday mate 🤗

Definitely, 10k will be a slow jog, sort Saturday through the week 👍

What rotten timing - the asthma I mean, not the parkrun! Well done on fighting back. Good luck next week, take it easy
