Good luck to all Parkruners this Saturday

[AlMorr]

Good luck to all Parkruners tomorrow, the weather forecast is for rain ☔ later in the day, so the weather at 9/9.30 should be fine for all us parkrunners.

It will be my 7th parkrun tomorrow, enjoy your run.

[Chris141 Graduate]

Good Luck to you too. It will be my 15th in the week Park Run is 15years old!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Chris141]

Yes indeed Chris, I got a email from Vitality saying that Saturday 5th October was parkruns 15th birthday, I wonder if there will be any birthday cake. 😊

[Chris141 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Ohhh there should be cake! LOL

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Chris141]

My very first parkrun on 13th July at Dunfermline in Fife was their 4th birthday and guess what, there was birthday cake, we all waited until the last person (not me ) finished in way less than a hour, they got a young boy who had completed sub 30 minutes to cut the cake into small pieces, a really good start for my first parkrun.

[Chris141 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

We have cake but 1st come 1st served. I don’t always bother due to weight loss prog, but Harlow’s 5th Birthday is next month and we got a proper party in the evening!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Chris141]

Dunfermline's 100th parkrun is on Saturday 2nd November bar any cancellation, so come what may, I will be running there. 😊 🏃

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Enjoy your 7th parkrun Almorr hope it's nice and dry 😊🏃‍♂️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Yes, I am always looking at the weather forecast 5 days before the Saturday that I intend to run at parkrun, tomorrow morning and at least a good part of the afternoon is to be dry, it's later on Saturday and into Sunday that it's going to rain ☔.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to theoldfellow]

Thanks TOF, yes, not long now until you get your 50 T Shirt, it's only my 7th parkrun tomorrow, by the way in Scotland and Ireland parkrun time is 9.30am, they give us 30 more minutes in bed, in New Zealand parkrun time is 8am.

Good luck for your 44th run tomorrow. 😊 🏃🏾

[theoldfellow in reply to AlMorr]

Sometimes we start at 10am, so people can do Whinlatter first and then come for a cool-down jog.... Whinlatter is a mountain - nuff said.

Have fun!🙏

[Sonia52 Graduate]

My 3rd park run and my first consolidation run 😊 Good luck!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

Good luck to you Sonia52 on your 3rd parkrun tomorrow morning 😊 🏃🏾

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanx 😊 It will be tempting to try and run the whole thing this time, but I will try to be good and stick to 30 minutes. 5k would probably be 35-38 and I don’t think my legs would last that long so...

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

You don't need to stop at 30 minutes at a parkrun, just go round it at your own comfortable pace of 35/39 minutes, if you can get a sub 40 minute 5K at parkrun that would be great. 😊 🏃🏾

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Oh cool!! I may try and do my warm up 5 minute walk before the start then rather than incorporating it, and see how I get on. Seems to take me around 39 minutes so far including warm up and cool down walks. The walking takes me to the back but then i start overtaking some people once running.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

Exactly Sonia, do what I do at parkruns, have a 5/10 minutes warm up walk, as it's your 3rd parkrun, join the main group for the directors welcome to 50, 100 and any tourist parkruners, then after the 3,2,1 go countdown, run at your own comfortable pace, that way you should get a sub 40 minute 5K time.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Great advice, I will try that then Thank you! 😊🏃‍♀️👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

👍 🏃🏾 😊Report back tomorrow. 😊

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Oh I am sure I will!! 😂😁

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

Have fun and good luck, Sonia.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

Thanx!! 😊
