W7R3- slowing down

Well done on getting this far but keep going. You've done this run, just move onto the next. Runnng is not easy but it's so worth it when you've finished the programme and it will become easier in time.

As long as you're well hydrated you don't have to think too much about food the night before. Just avoid the usual suspects before a run - highly spiced foods, onions,etc. You really only need to start thinking about your food intake when you're running over an hour.

Everyone is different. Some people can run better on an empty stomach, others need something light like a banana beforehand. I always have porridge before a morning run and leave about an hour before heading out. You'll need to experiment and see what works for you.

I think you could do parkrun any time because you can always walk part of the way or do a combination of run/walk. Parkruns are fun so just turn up and do what you can, running very very slowly. Good luck and enjoy!

hank you. I try not to worry about time/distance but its nice to see yourself improving so onward and upwards as they say.
