Well done Could you take ibrobufen before run or run gel on to try and prevent pain I just done wk8 r1 We ran parkrun route but hour before proper run just to see how far we would get round in the 28 mins(3k) Thenwe watched parkrun in cafe with scone and coffee! Trying to gear myself up to actually do real parkrun Hope ankle ok

No didn't take anything because I read somewhere not to run on ibrufen , but that's a good idea to rub the gel on pre run . I will do that next weekend what u have done , get to park do the park run to try it , then sit & chill in cafe , Another good idea .

I think we just have to have confidence to give park run a go even if we have to walk some of it at end Really nobody's going to care how slow we are In fact I sure the people there will admire us for giving it a go --- and we can only improve on time Let us know how you get on

Well done not many to go now, I am one run behind you I did WK8-R1 this morning,

Hope the ankle feels better soon, you are right about not using ibuprofen before running, maybe you could use a support or compression socks?

Well done. Sounds like you had a better run 2 than I did. I like the idea of a park run and I might do that next week too.
