Well after the elation of my 1st Parkrun and completing W7 I was hit with norovirus. Apart from the unpleasant effects I have also been absolutly exhausted. However, this afternoon I pushed myself and did R1 of W8. I am pleased I made myself do it - I feel so much better for it.

Congratulations for running at all after contacting the awful norovirus, not sure if it was wise to run, nevertheless well done, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 8.

Well done. I lost a week due to Norovirus. I was as weak as a kitten for days afterwards.

Well done! Very determined indeed!
I run using the Japanese slow jogging technique (I run this way all the time because I love it), but it can be a very useful technique to know for occasions such as this, or just running in the heat.
It’s low impact, but gives all the benefits of faster running!
