... well, one hill in particular. But it looks really steep. And you have to go up it *twice* 😰😬😱😨
(Also, I'm not sure that several glasses of a very nice Amarone della Valpolicella and a rather drinkable Barolo was the best preparation for Parkrun. 🍷🍷)
Oh dear.
Hi, I do Lloyd Parkrun regularly. 🏃♂️We’ve got a steep hill too and have to go up it twice. It was quite daunting 😳when I first came across it and I walked up it on both laps on the first few runs. Then I ran up up once and walked the second time for the next few Parkruns. Now I run up it every time, although quite slowly!🙂
Just take your time, and don’t be afraid to walk if you find you have too. 😊 Good luck and let us know how you get on 😀👍
You’ll smash it! Good luck
You'll be fine: shorten stride, lean into it, small steps, like a kind of staccato plod. Just take your time. It's easier to keep running, even below walking pace, than to start again after walking. but if you have to walk, you won't be the only one.
Small steps, small steps, small steps 💪👍😃
I did it! I mostly ran up the hill the first time but I walked it the second time.
I wasn't quite last - my target was sub 50 minutes and I think I made it. Thank you so much to all Parkrun volunteers 😘😘😘
Well done! before you know it you will be sprinting up it.
Congratulations, well done 👍👏👏👏
Well done!
A liquid breakfast?? Good choice of wine, though!!
Well Done Languid_Lil 👍👏👏👏
I use a cycling tip which is to focus your eyes on the road just ahead don’t look ahead at what’s to come this stops the internal negative chatter getting to you. Also Parkrun says it’s not a hill it’s a flat upward section!!😃
Lol the marshals kept saying that as I was struggling up it oops sorry I meant struggling along it in an upward direction.
Great work keep lapping all those people on the sofa
Happy First Parkrun of 2019
First Parkrun done 😁
First Parkrun - loved it! 🤩
