ParkRun today was not fun, took cramp in my left calf muscle (first time ever) however it didn't stop this old girl getting yet another PB 32.08 which was 20 seconds off my last PB.

First in my age group - I'm the only one on my age group so don't be too impressed!! ;)

But some of it was down to Laura, so all Graduates doing the Stamina Podcast have to go out running from now on saying 1,2,3,4 now don't forget. Yippe I'm a happy bunny :) Liz

Congratulations! Cramp was maybe due to the heat causing dehydration.

Brilliant. You seem to be getting the hang of the 1234 better than me but something must be working as I knocked 20s off by PB too.

Aahhh I've done the maths 1,2,3, (4) x 5K = 20 therefore if you stick to this rule of foot (not thumb) you will reduce by 20 seconds = simples ;)
