Have fun Garden17, and just go at your own pace. Don’t worry about all the racers at the front.

Good for you, Garden 17. I hope you enjoy it. I am thinking of going this Saturday too after my first Parkrun last weekend - let's see if I can beat 213th!

You can do it, you know you've got the distance. Well done for giving it another go, just try not to set off too fast. If you put yourself near the back of the starting lineup, you can avoid the fastest runners who go off like rockets. It's so easy to get drawn into going too fast at the start, because it feels easy enough at first. Hope it all goes well for you this time. Don't forget to do a warm up! I'll be cheering you on!

I’m exhausted and I’m on my 29th and ran slower today with my son!

Keep going and your time will come down. When you plateau, do hills and speed intervals 👌🏽
