Are parkrun s still going on Saturday ( Swansea )

[karen50plus]

With everything that s going on 🦠, I m wondering if the park runs are still allowed. 🤷‍♀️I was hoping to do my graduation run this Saturday🤞.....was hoping someone on here might be able to advise . 🤔There is so much in the news🙈 - I thought maybe too many people- 🥴therefore not allowed to gather 🤷‍♀️

Emails are now being sent out that all parkruns are now cancelled until further notice 😊

Thank you Buddy34 for letting me know . I was so hoping to do my graduation run on Saturday 😔..... looks like I m going to be doing it on my own. Still can’t believe I m doing this c25k and thought if I did it with other people i would prove to 50 other people I can run too and I m not dreaming 🤣🤣🤣 . Never mind , must keep my chin up . There will be plenty of other opportunities once everything settles in a few months

I would have been great to do your graduation run at parkrun but you know the feeling of graduating on your own is brilliant, I know it was for me. Well done and good luck 😊

[karen50plus Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I ve not run for a week as I ve had a cold🤒🤧 ....( just a cold 😳😱🙈) .....and my legs were too wobbly to run . The last time I “ kept going “ with a cold , I passed out and broke my ankle , so I tend to listen to my poor OLD bones now and give myself time to “rest” . I m hoping I don’t have to re do week 8 and 9 as I ve not run for a week 😔

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to karen50plus]

Ouch, yes you got to listen to your body it knows best😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate in reply to karen50plus]

Yes, chin up karen50plus! Graduation is great at parkrun but equally fantastic if you do it on your own- except that if you let us know when you’ve done it we can all celebrate with you so you won’t be on your own!

[karen50plus Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

That s very kind of you . I may very well take you up on that . .....all I have to do now is graduate 👩‍🎓.....🙈

I would assume they are cancelled unless you are told otherwise.

Hi karen50plus good luck with your graduation. I graduated a week or so ago and have started consolidation runs. I’m based around Swansea so if you need some running sanity during all this madness let me know. I run in a few places local to me.

[karen50plus Graduate]

Thank you Hymertrails . I m quite nervous of these consolation runs. The thought of running for 30 mins EVERY time I go out is nerve wracking 🤣🤣🤣

[Hymertrails Graduate in reply to karen50plus]

I think that any amount of running for around 30 mins is good once you have graduated, remember back to W1 when running for a few minutes was tough, it certainly was for me! I’m managing 30,ish mins each time but also not getting too hung up on it. I’m only 2 consolidation runs in but noticing the difference already after the 9 weeks of building up to 30 mins.
