The sun broke through just before this mornings Parkrun. Warm and a little blustery..
I always start too fast, the first bit is across grass, i think i need to start running on grass, it always throws me.
Chatting to a woman who said she hadn't run for about 4 months and would take walk breaks.
It was a good run, finished in 44 min 17 secs, not my fastest 5k but my fastest Parkrun.
Run happy and enjoy your weekend
🍏👏Well done! It’s difficult to start slowly in a park run as there is that surge of energy that one gets caught up in as they blow the whistle. Great timing! Xx
Thanks, um pleased even though only 13 seconds faster but better than slower
Fantastic! It was really hot and full sun all the way round my park run this morning 🥵.
Thanks, it was breezy here but really warm and humid
Congratulations on that new parkrun PB. Gorgeous photo. I love the moody sunshine. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, it was great out there this morning
Well done!
Hove Park - I was volunteering - started humid, but ended up quite bearable.
It poured down about 5 minutes from the end qnd very welcome but i had to take my glasses off
ha ha , we got the rain just as UTS walked down to volunteer, having ignored my suggestion of taking a jacket.
I find grass slows me down but it’s good to try all these surfaces. I don’t like parkruns that are totally on grass.
Ours is across the green and back then aling the path by the beach, i think ill do ine run a week partly on grass to get used to it
Congratulations on completing Lancing parkrun in a SUB 45 minutes time ✔️✔️, that's a good photo Sue👍
Thanks Al, im still moaning because most people are faster than me
There are some runners who moan if they don't come first or don't get a sub 20 minutes 5K time at parkrun or marathon runners who don't get a sub 2 - 3/4 hours time, so don't moan. enjoy your runs 🏃 👍
I dont moan a lot and i fet a lot of joy being able to run.
The main thing is that you enjoy your running, I was reading recently that only around 20/25% of the adult population can run for more than 1 mile without stopping, I am not sure if that's true
I think it probably is true Al, i know a lot of adults that cant run for a minute let alone a mile
That was me before C25K!
Well done! It's been crazy windy here all day but humid too.As you all seem to be enjoying parkrun so much I think I might have to give it a go sometime
Oh you must 😀 its different running with others and everyone is so friendly
Well run.Great photo . Most importantly, how were the shoes!!!!!
The shoes were 13 seconds faster than any of my previous 2 parkruns thanks 😀 very comfy
Fab Sue, well done on your time! 👏👏👏
Thanks, im going to practice on grass a bit this week 😁
Good idea! It does make you appreciate tarmac when you’ve run on grass!
Yes
Well done SueAppleRun onward and upward with a smile on your face 🏃🏃♂️🏃♀️🤸♂️😊
Thanks, id like to run it all rather than take alk breaks
Congrats on another Parkrun Sue 👍 I had a very mixed day today. I had a bad 100m but a much better 200m.
Thanks Brian, i suppose like not every run, not every race can be great, disappointing for you though. Glad the 200 metres was better
Super! In my entire experience of ONE park run, it was the chats that meant the most. Well, and the fact that many of those non-sprinters who finished early stood on the corner near the end and applauded and cheered the later finishers. That was quite something.
You will go again, hows your back now?
Much better. Long day working in London yesterday with driving/train/sitting for hours. Very sore indeed by the end of that, but exercise sorted me. A repeat of all that today ...
I had a couple of short runs last week and hope to have three very slightly longer runs (of up to five whole minutes!) this week.
Hopefully you will continue to heal and be able to increase the time running.
Well done Sue! Great run x
Well thank you xx.
I did a new to me Park Run on Saturday. Like you I started too fast - again!!! I think it was because i was in the middle and it was quite crowded at the start. I got pushed along. This one was all on tarmac path but an out and back so a bit narrow when the fast runners were on their way back. Not knowing the course I did struggle a bit even though it wasn't as tough as Trentham. Towards the end my heart started doing a funny flutter so I slowed right down to a walk. It settled down very quickly and I realised I was near the finish so sprinted to the funnel. Not my best time but not the worst either. I'll definitely give this PR another go and as it's so near to home might even have a mid-week run there. Well done on your 44 mins 17 seconds- I'm still aiming for below 45 mins. 😆
Well done, going off too fast seems to be a thing, im walking with my neighbour in the morning but might practise running really slow afterwards just for ,5 minutes because what feels slow nowadays is faster than i used to run and i have to walk a bit
Parkrun Frolicking!! 🙃❤️
