Thunder! Oh no!

[Bouncyshoes]

So I'm looking at the forecast for Monday when I'm scheduled to start W3 - argghh Thunder! So I'm going to do it tomorrow instead - why, all of a sudden, do I feel scared of 3 mins 😱

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Just take it nice and slowly. Don’t try and set any speed records. 😁 you can do this! 👍

[backintime Graduate]

Play music with a good bass track and the thunder will fit right in. Is it Beethoven's 5th that has those big booms ?

[Bouncyshoes Graduate in reply to backintime]

Oh yes! Now theres a thought....

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Bouncyshoes]

Yes, ta ta ta ta

[backintime Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Or the 1812 overture would fit right in with those big cannon bangs

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to backintime]

Or Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries.

[Bouncyshoes Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Have we started something here?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Bouncyshoes]

Yes, The Thunder and Lightning Polka.

[backintime Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

All good storm running music : )

[Bluepup1 Graduate in reply to backintime]

Could always try AC/DC’s Thunderstruck.....x

[Slbu in reply to Bluepup1]

That was exactly what I was thinking too! In fact I might try it myself.....

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Slow and steady, you will run week 3 with no problems.

I just wonder what happens if a thunderstorm ⛈ with 🌩 lightning starts during a parkrun, is it cancelled or do the just carry on running.

[purplewalker Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I’m thinking same for Sports Day ... 😩

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to purplewalker]

Sports day would be cancelled if there was a lot of lightning around.

[purplewalker Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Indeed- and it would be me having to make that decision...

[Bouncyshoes Graduate in reply to purplewalker]

Oh no!💦

[Bouncyshoes Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Suspect they would carry on - not like golf when you have a bag full of lightening conductors😂😂

[Bouncyshoes Graduate]

Thank you - might ask my daughter to come with me, she's a half marathon runner but very sympathetic to her old ma's capabilities😉

[JaoJao]

You’re going to be fine.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

The thunder scared you? Relax, slow and steady and just enjoy

[Park-View]

Haha I know !! Due to start W4R3 on Monday but may have to take an extra rest day. I’m all for running in the rain but the thunder and lightning we have forecast may be pushing it !!! 💦⚡️

[Bouncyshoes Graduate in reply to Park-View]

Yep - with you on that one, bringing mine forward to today😀

Have you read the FAQ blog posts they are invaluable in the early weeks and will ensure that you stay injury free I can keep on running and manage those longer runs. It’s the best piece of advice you will get throughout this journey

I was scared of 3 minutes and it was pretty good.

Good luck and enjoy

[Bouncyshoes Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Just finished it - soooo happy!

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Bouncyshoes]

Well done you 👏👏👏 you're doing a grand job 💪🏃‍♀️

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Bouncyshoes]

It’s great when we find out we actually can run that bit longer isn’t it?

[hamstb]

I thought I definitely wouldn’t be able to run for 3 minutes so decided I’d walk when I’d run out of steam- I was amazed that I did do the 3 minutes! Good luck!
