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

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!

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.

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

Good luck with yours!

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_UKGraduate 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 profile image
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 πŸ‘

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

JaoJao profile image
JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK

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

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. 😊 πŸƒ

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

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 profile image
Stephen_UKGraduate in reply to AlMorr

Al, I think JaoJao has run three PRs already.

So what have you been running in until now?!

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate 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 profile image
Stephen_UKGraduate 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 profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate 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 profile image
Stephen_UKGraduate in reply to AlMorr

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

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate in reply to Stephen_UK

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

JaoJao profile image
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 profile image
JaoJao in reply to Stephen_UK

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

JaoJao profile image
JaoJao in reply to AlMorr

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

AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate 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.

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 profile image
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 profile image
JogunlikelyGraduate in reply to JaoJao

Yes. I've barcodes since I signed up to c25k last year. I have six all beautifully laminated πŸ˜‚ just have to find them before bedtime πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

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 22Β° 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 profile image
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

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

JaoJao profile image
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 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Stephen_UK profile image
Stephen_UKGraduate 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 profile image
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 profile image
Stephen_UKGraduate 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 profile image
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!
