Sunday run preparation- 8K

Hi all, I did 3 and a bit circuits of Lloyd Parkrun last night 🏃‍♂️towards preparation for Switchback 5 cross country run on Sunday 😀 It’s 5 miles/8K so I should be ok. I’m aiming to do another short 3K run midweek then take it easy, except for marshalling at Lloyd Parkrun on Saturday 🙂

If the technology works, I’ve attached a photo of the start of the steep hill at Lloyd Park. Apparently it’s the hardest Parkrun in London, but I don’t know if that’s true 😊

Happy running everyone! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

You are getting lots of practice in that park David so the run on Sunday should be no problem. Have fun and let us see some bling.

Have a good time marshalling at parkrun too. Ours was asking for people to volunteer once for every 15 Parkruns on Saturday.

🏃‍♂️👏

Thanks Dexy, I’ll post once I’ve finished to let you know how it went. 🏃‍♂️Every finisher gets a memento so I’m counting that as bling, whatever the memento is! 😊 There’s tea and cakes 🍰 afterwards to look forward to 😋

As for volunteering, I think once every 12 weeks isn’t too much to ask so that’s what I’m aiming for. If I’m doing an event on a Sunday then I’ll volunteer on the Saturday, otherwise I’ll just be doing nothing anyway. 😀
