Long run and park run?

[Ajs07]

I will doing a 14k run on weekend, can I do it Saturday and incorporate a park run as well ? I don’t intend to do a fast 5k but to use it to build the distance. By the time I run up to the park run, round and back again, it’s about 7k off my run.

I’ve seen it done at my club, they ran to the park, did the PR then ran back again, 25k in total!

So yeah, go for it AJ 🤗

Good luck 😊

I know someone who ran to it, did pr and then ran after. The only delay was the token scanning before setting off again. Go for it.

I don’t know about Pb but I’ll give it a try 😁

Sounds very sensible to me...

I’d do it, I was advised a bit of stop/start is good, especially for long runs as it is hard to start again once you’ve stopped....ie for scanning etc., I used parkrun as part of my training for my first HM, would do pr then go round again afterwards! 😄🏃‍♀️

Enjoy!

I do it sometimes because I love parkrun but I usually need a long run on a weekend - but I’ve never got a pr doing it! That said, my fastest 10k to date remains the first 10k of my first HM so I suppose it’s the same principle.
