2nd Parkrun

[Sunnybraeboats]

Done my first Parkrun since graduating last week and shaved a few seconds off time but found my breathing very difficult at times this weeks time was 32:31 so still happy I finished and glowed after getting my breath back. Just repeating week 9 R3 twice a week and then Saturday Parkrun to keep me fit.

Good time for your first parkrun, your breathing was a bit difficult probably due to running too fast, nevertheless with proper training things will improve.

Thanks I hope I can sort the breathing out... maybe result of been an ex-smoker although I did give up 11 years ago!!!!!

AlMorr’s right. Colder weather can also affect breathing. Well done for getting out there !

Christmas mantras ? Think December will be soon enough !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Yes, I wasn't expecting any poems about Christmas mantras yet, you are correct, December is the time for that.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

No harm in being prepared. It must be the Boy Scout in you !

Well done.

Try doing your W9R3 runs at a nice gentle pace, building stamina and strength and keep the pushing hard for parkrun.

I did a Parkrun last week and I found it really tough to get my breath. I think it was the very cold air that got me ❄️, not good and a bit of a surprise!

[Sunnybraeboats Graduate in reply to Gran4z]

Yes I hope it was just the cold air but I really struggled a bit to catch my breath...but got there in the end thanks
