parkrun No. 3 - Brooklands - Done

Another hot Saturday morning - another tourist parkrun. That's no. 3.

Brooklands parkrun is almost entirely flat, with a couple of short but steep bridges/rises. In this weather the biggest hazard is that about 2km is out in the open around the airfield. Real friendly group though, and quite busy at 300+.

Also another PB, although only shaved a few seconds off this time.

I continue to walk the middle 1km and run the start and finish. Most of my normal runs in the week are 4km continuous, but I still haven't worked my way up to 5km non stop yet. Especially in this heat.

Well done on the PB. These are going to be a lot easier when the weather cools down a bit.

If you need to walk in parkrun I suspect you are setting off too fast, just like I did today. Next week make your aim to to complete it entirely running rather than chasing a PB and I’m sure you’ll do it.

Definitely not chasing anything! I only just graduated C25K and I have been slowly increasing distance and time since. I will get there.

Sorry, I didn’t realise you were a recent graduate. You definitely will do it , just take your time, and most of all have fun.
