Ok folks, 12 hours to go.
Who is doing a Parkrun this week and where?
Wincy Willis assures me it will be cool enough for the 9am start!
Who's with me?!

"Henlow Bridges for us, did it in the winter and it was an absolute mudfest in places but it's pan flat so should be good
Crap cafe though"
Ooh interesting. Not heard of that one before. I'll have to look it up and add it to the list. I try and do a different venue each week.
I'm guessing it's not going to be a mudfest tomorrow!  |

It doesn't get many there, it is one of 2 local ones without free parking (Aldenham is the other) they are both great courses but get low numbers |

That might be a bit of a trek for me but I do have friends in South Shields so maybe one day. Enjoy!

Hmm..cat just jumped on my head and woke me up. Not a great start to Parkrun day.
Hopefully I'll drift off and get a few more hours in otherwise it will be a tiring 5k.
Still haven't decided which Parkrun to go to today. Maybe Basingstoke or Winchester, they've been on the to do list for a while now... |

How did everyone get on?
I ran a PB (woohoo!). Mainly to get out of the sun and into the jacuzzi.
Bit toastie towards the end but luckily much of it was in the shade. |

Went out to the one near me in Leeds this morning. A nice mix of sun and shade but abandoned my cap half way through!
Just waiting official time to come in but hoping for a PB... or won't be far off at least. Now to chill  |

"No Parkrun for me today because I have the Covids  "
Aw, sorry to that.
I'm avoiding people at the moment. Really hoping Covid (or flight cancellations) don't scupper our holiday plans.
Get well soon! |

My first ever parkrun DNF, pulled up as I'm recovering from a calf niggle abd ankle sprain and my calf was beginning to feel tight, 3.75 km done in around 17 1/2 minutes so fitness is where I want it to be! |

"2nd week of no park run for us both which is a shame. Last week we were away and this week ruled out with covid. Sucks after hitting new pb's for us both last time out."
Uff. I'm keeping my fingers crossed none of us get COVID before our upcoming holiday.
Hope you don't have it too bad. I'm sure you will be smashing PBs again soon.
Which Parkrun do you do? Or are you tourists like me? |

We do the North Walsham Parkrun.
It hit us pretty hard to be fair, both laid up for 3 days and then a couple just not feeling right. Still chesty and coughing but going to attempt a slow jog tonight just to see if either of us can |

My favourite day of the week tomorrow - Parkrun day!
Who's in? Who's out?
Where are you running?
My Parkrun tourism trip is going to take me somewhere along the M3 I reckon.
Let week I was at the home of Parkrun - Bushy Park - with almost 1,000 runners. I fancy something a bit more low key this time. Suggestions? |

"Nothing for me, I'm out tonight but the calf still isn't 100% so probably not a bad thing to be resting it fir a few more days"
Sensible move. I'm a fore-foot runner so my calves take a hammering. I should definitely listen to my body more rather than carry on regardless. |

This has made me want to head out and parkrun tomorrow but it's probably not wise.
I did 3km on sunday, 2 on Wednesday average of 10:10/km... My local parkruns aren't great with back of the pack (they pack down before you've finished etc)... And my ME/CFS really won't let me push any faster at the moment (and I really really don't want a relapse)
Just have to work on building slowly up and once I'm back closer to 9/km over 5km, without relapse I'll probably consider it |

That's terrible to hear they're not great for the slower runners where you are. Every venue I have been to they always have at least one marshall walk the route so no-one gets left out and no-one (other than that volunteer) is allowed to come last. That's supposed to be the policy at every Parkrun.
If your local route is a 2-lapper maybe just do the one circuit this time? |

We have people walking at our local parkrun. The tail walker should be going at the slowest person's pace. |

We have a tail walker but everything has been packed away (barriers signs etc) and one last person is there to scan. It makes you feel super embarrassed and they make you feel like such a nuisance... |

That's awful. Some of the kit is packed down at some of our local ones but never all of it. And there's certainly an effort to make the later finishers feel included |

"That's such a shame.
It's worth contacting the race director to let them know. They may be blissfully unaware of the impact they are having."
Unfortunately it's the race director who makes me feel like that. They are the one waiting to scan me in..
(I'm not sure if the fact I know they have a sub 20 min 5k makes it worse) |

Stubborn helps a lot. Which one are you doing? Did the Lakeland trails ultra couple of weekends ago. Phenomenal views, but hot but very well run. |

Itchen Valley ticked off the list!
Nice, undulating, single loop, trail run. Definitely not a PB route but lots of fun. Great facilities here too. Loos, cafe, plenty to do for the kids. Definitely recommended.

"We're both volunteering this morning, we hope others do too? No volunteers = no Parkrun. Whatever you're doing, have a good morning "
Perhaps controversially neither of us volunteer anymore. We both have well in excess of a purple tee all earned at our old home run and I'd been approached to be on the core team during lockdown.
But our event never came back, parkrun HQ were in my opinion entirely to blame for that thanks to their stance and conduct towards the landowner over a relatively minor disagreement. And being party to that information has left a very bad taste.
Some of the core team haven't even been back to other events since it restarted, most of the regular volunteers like us don't volunteer anymore either. It's a shame, I used to love volunteering and we still do a huge amount of work with one of the local organisers so definitely give back to the sport as a whole. But for now, our relationship with parkrun is entirely one way and I'm not sure that will ever change. |

That's brilliant! Well done.
To beat your time, try doing some intervals and progression runs. Progression runs are where you get faster each km or mile. They can really help to build up your endurance and help you to stop going out too fast at the start. So, run your first mile at 8.40, second mile at 8.20 and third mile in 8.10, then a sprint finish. If my calculations are correct, that will get you a PB |

Intervals, yes. Hills, yes. Sprints, yes. Not really progression training though. I choose to do an über flat Parkrun on the regular, just because it's easier on the shoulders but there's a tight loopback at one end, x2 and some areas where the surface is potholes so I can't maintain a constant speed unfortunately. I need to work on the turns more |

If Bournemouth marathon was still on o could have been tempted by a fast 5km the morning before, sadly its a little too far just for parkrun?
Am I right in thinking there's an insanely hilly one started local to Poole now? |

I’ve ventured away from my home Parkrun recently, it’s good to see and do different ones, they all have their own character.
I’ve realised my home one is probably mid tier.. there’s flatter easier ones out there and hillier harder ones too! |

"Looking to do my first park run after my holiday .. Due back end of August ..
Which are the best ones around Chester to Wirral locations.?"
Depends what you look for, my favourite local event is 3 fast flat laps, my partner hates it. Hers is a hilly tra run which I hate! So it's very much personal choice. Decide if you want road or trail and look at the local courses and try a few out. All psrkrund are friendly but they definitely have different atmospheres |

Did my local one (which isn't my regular one!) along with the run there and back so about 12km in total, still taking it easy with the pace and walked the climb so way off PB pace but the niggling calf seems okay and I've a massage tomorrow which should sort it a bit more! |

The one I'm referring to IS perfectly do-able by wheelchair, that's the frustration. It's round a running track then paved paths in a park. |

"Ours isn't on now till September and I don't want to chance others that aren't wheelchair proof. One has already said they don't want wheelchairs to come along
Don't want?
Most of my local ones aren't wheelchair friendly because they are trail runs, buy I'd hope they'd convey that a little more constructively than saying they don't want wheelchairs attending
The one I'm referring to IS perfectly do-able by wheelchair, that's the frustration. It's round a running track then paved paths in a park. "
That's shocking, turned up and do it and if there's am issue contact parkrun HQ |
