Barnsley parkrun - has anyone done it?

2 Replies

I just wondered if anyone had done the Barnsley parkrun? I may be doing it next week, but I'm being put off by the fact that it is nearly all hill!!

No, but don't worry about it, do it, slowly! I do one of the hardest Hilly Parkruns, slowly of course, if I feel it too much I slow right down to a walk for 20-30 secs, especially at the moment as I'm not training as much as usual..😊

Hi, thanks for the encouragement! I need it! I'm finding the prospect daunting to say the least. I will certainly do it though (as long as I son't have to take my sons somewhere biking). It will definitely be a slow one and I think I will have to walk quite a lot of it.
