[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Sadly not... but good words about the heat, it’s not looking like a day to attempt a PB everyone!!!

[JaoJao in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Oh no, sorry you won’t be joining us. Tomorrow will be a test for me too as it’s not been very hot the last few weeks I’ve started to attend Park Run. Fingers crossed it’s relatively comfortable at 9.00am!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

It will at least be the best it’s going to be all day! Enjoy the run... if you’re going on a car make sure you got some water in there for post run.

[Stephen_UK Graduate]

I'm going to do it. Hoping the worst of the heat won't have hit by 9 am.

Good luck with yours!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

20 here at 7.30 this morning and that was with a breeze!

[JaoJao in reply to Oldfloss]

Round my way we can expect between 22-25c tomorrow morning... eek! I might run naked! 😂😂😂

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Make sure someone gets a photo to go with your report!

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

Hahaha! Cheek!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Pikkies please.. or maybe not..this is a family show..although..I did post a nekkie one once!!!😉

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

Thanks Stephen, look forward to catching up after the run! Yes, also hoping it will be cool at 9.00am. Will get the big sunglasses out tomorrow 😎

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Go for it! But remember that staying alive is more important than getting a PB.

BBC says 21 degrees at 9 and 23 degrees by 10.

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

I really want another PB tomorrow, every week I have been chipping away at the seconds! But I hear what you are saying too. Let’s see hey 👍

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Please take care xxx

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

You have forever for PBs, so no hurry. Don’t do yourself in!

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

I ran in shorts, running vest and wore massive sunglasses! Winning!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Good luck to you JaoJao on running your first 5K Parkrun tomorrow morning, drink plenty of water today, as it is going to be warm, just run it slowly and stop if necessary to have a drink from your water carrier. 😊 🏃

I hope to run my first parkrun next month, I now have proper running shoes and a barcode. 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I hope everyone is reading Realfoodieclub 's post re hydration...

[JaoJao in reply to Oldfloss]

Absolutely! Valuable advice and great write up from our Admin team.

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Al, I think JaoJao has run three PRs already.

So what have you been running in until now?!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

I have not yet ran a parkrun, however, up until now I have been running a few 5Ks in reasonable quality ordinary trainers, I got a gait analysis on Wednesday then bought a pair of Brooks Glycerin 16 Running shoes as recommended and two pairs of Twin Skin Unisex Anti-Blister socks.

I sent you all a photo of them on Wednesday under the heading

"Ya Beauties"

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes, I liked that picture a lot. When you said that only now do you have proper running shoes, it just sounded like you had previously been running in boots or clogs or something!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

Way back in the winter of 2017/18 well before I even started with C25K I ran a few 1 minute runs in boots, only a few, this was the time I had just discovered the Healthunlocked C25K home page, at that time I thought C25K was something to do with running 25 kilometers, lol, anyway once I started with C25K I bought good quality trainers and never ran in boots again.

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Running in boots must have been really difficult. That’s amazing.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

Just for 1 minute, after that I bought proper trainer's.

[JaoJao in reply to AlMorr]

AlMorr when you start Park Run you will not look back! Anyone can do it at any level, we look forward to you joining us soon!

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

Correct, tomorrow is my 4th! Can’t wait 😊

[JaoJao in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr, all advice related to the heat is welcome! Am drinking plenty of water today!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

👍

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Too hot here and still under the Physio's orders

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Sorry about that Floss, you could be like me and go and spectate at a parkrun, I intend to run my first parkrun on Saturday July 13 at Dunfermline, however, tomorrow I am going there to see exactly what the course is, I may even take my barcode with me and show it to one of the marshals once the run has started just to prove who I am and tell him I will be running on that same course in two weeks time. 😊

[JaoJao in reply to AlMorr]

You could offer to volunteer if you want to get a feel for it too.

[JaoJao in reply to Oldfloss]

Take your time xx

[Jogunlikely Graduate]

I'm hoping to do my first one 😱 if I can get up early enough. I think the one in the next town might be shady so that's the aim 😊

Have fun at yours x

[JaoJao in reply to Jogunlikely]

Hey! You’re going to love it, have you registered on the website and downloaded your barcode? Look forward to hearing your update x

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Yes. I've barcodes since I signed up to c25k last year. I have six all beautifully laminated 😂 just have to find them before bedtime 🤦‍♀️

[Debston Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Good luck, it's a brilliant atmosphere, I think you're going to love it.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Debston]

Thank you 😊

[Debston Graduate]

I'm in, so long as I don't oversleep! I think getting out there first thing is the only way that I will be running tomorrow with the predicted hot weather. It's saying 22° at 9am...

Edited to add,my swanky new plastic barcode arrived yesterday as did my swanky new running top so I kind of HAVE to go and try them both out!

[JaoJao in reply to Debston]

Oh nice! You have not excuse really now! Wish you the best and hopefully it’s not too uncomfortable for us xx

[backintime Graduate]

Good luck everyone who's running tomorrow

Sunscreen and water....stay safe : )

[JaoJao in reply to backintime]

Sunscreen I totally forgot about that! Good call!

[backintime Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Haha, I sound like my mother...maybe I should add in to wash behind your ears too haha

[JaoJao in reply to backintime]

Why not, every little bit helps. I am nervous about the run tomorrow if i'm honest, it's all this talk about the heat

[backintime Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

You'll be fine, just remember health over pb : )

[runwithdog Graduate]

yes,i`m in.

i am not after a pb in this heat but going because i enjoy the pr spirit.

[JaoJao in reply to runwithdog]

That’s a great spirit, enjoy your run.

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Always! 🤣💪🏽

Hardwick Parkrun for a change of scenery.

[JaoJao in reply to Tasha99]

Good luck Tasha! Enjoy your Park Run x

[JaoJao]

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Well? Did you do yours? We need a report!

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

Hey Stephen_UK, hey everyone!

Park Run done and done! I managed another PB, that’s four in a row. My target was to keep my pace under 8mins/Km and I managed it! No walking, all running!

I was quite faint when I reached the end and went into the clubhouse, there I grabbed a cold fruit shoot and that sorted me out!

How did everyone else get on?

I cannot wait for Park Run next week, will be my 5th! Just a slight addiction over here can you tell 😂😂😂

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Wow! Four in a row. Amazing. Hope you didn’t overdo it.

Lots of Parkrun reports here: healthunlocked.com/bridgeto...

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

I didn’t push too hard today, I remembered all the advice, no sprint finish at the end just a steady pace throughout the run kept me going!

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Good for you. I am glad you love it so much. Me too. Looking forward to number five next week.

[JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK]

I will check out the Park Run reports on the other forum.

How did you feel about yours?

I’m so pleased we are at the same place on Park Runs, wonderful motivation and sharing each week!
