Parkrun 1

[Flump1]

Well I flumped my way around Cannon Hill Parkrun today. I ran/ walked it because about 3.3km is still my max running but I feel quite chuffed. My time didn't seem to me to be too outrageous and I might try it again in a couple of weeks....

I noticed that running in a crowd made me run faster...but I missed the headspace I get on a solitary run.

I bet you didn’t flump, I bet you strode out like a magnificent marshmallow x

I like the ParkRun experience but also really love my early morning meanders. Well done on popping your ParkRun cherry 🍒

Hmmm deffo pink...(heading to purple!) 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Brilliant, did you enjoy parkrun

[Flump1 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I think so, it felt really different, it's a huge park run 700+ runners

Well done getting out there, and also being sensible and not overrunning. We can’t see your time, but I can tell you it was great, and you’ll have fun bringing it down as your runs get a little bit longer.

If you’re looking at running it every couple of weeks or so, you’ll still have lots of runs with that headspace too. Happy running.

Thank you, its a journey for sure!

Congratulations and very well done to you for your first parkrun. You have a PB time now to chase after again.

Indeed, and good to set a low base for next time😉

[damienair Graduate in reply to Flump1]

Just beat it every week by a second or two and get a really good PB streak.😀

[Flump1 Graduate in reply to damienair]

Oooh

[Dalmorangie Graduate]

👏👏👏👏 Flump, it’s true what you say about running with others and equally going solo

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations on completing your first 5k Parkrun, well done. 😊 🏃

[Flump1 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you

[Imoslow Graduate]

Well done: that’s my local park and the Parkrun is my goal: just at week five now though so it’ll be a while!!

[Flump1 Graduate in reply to Imoslow]

😁 Enjoy the rest of the program. Let me know when you decide to go for it, maybe we can meet up

[Hidden in reply to Imoslow]

Don't wait to graduate before you try parkrun. I started parkrun a few weeks ago as a walker and was inspired by the other walkers and walker/runners to start C25K.

[Imoslow Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Wow, too scared to try Parkrun yet- but that’s a good thought! I’ll work up to it- thanks!!

[danis Graduate]

Congratulations on your first park run. They soon become a regular thing and are great for mixing it up and giving you a bit of a push.

[Flump1 Graduate in reply to danis]

Thank you.... Deffo mixing it up.. All those subtle slopes I'd normally avoid....

[Flump1 Graduate]

Indeed there were a number of walkers at my Parkrun... Some were faster than my running speed! 🐢🐢🐢

[Flump1 Graduate]

But I think only juniors get 10 run shirts.. We have to do 50!

[Flump1 Graduate]

Sorry!
