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

[Rockette in reply to Fitfor60]

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

[Rockette in reply to Fitfor60]

Yes it's the experience of doing it , you know what I may just have a go next Saturday

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?

[mum2theboys Graduate]

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.

[Rockette]

Have I done your r2 ? Have u posted on here ? Park run , I daren't , looked at results today & slowest was 28 mins ! Lol + a another 20 min on that for me ha ha

[Run-ragged Graduate]

Well done you , I tried my run two on Friday but stopped at 25mins as thigh and back hurt , but back out again tomorrow morning to redo it . We're nearly there!!

[Rockette]
