It's always interesting to see how other people run. When I am running 4.30 per km I feel like I am running super fast (for me at least). When other people are running at that speed it looks like they are jogging.

@smally8499234 2 года назад

I do training like this with a friend of mine too, I usually run backwards in front of her telling her that if I can do this speed backwards then surely she can run faster forwards. Getting her angry by insulting her helps too, anger is a really good motivator to push harder and dig deeper. Thankfully here in Australia parkrun has been back since January, I missed it so much. You guys must be so relieved to have it back finally!

Welcome to the Berkeley Green PB club Sarah. Got mine there just before lockdown 1 - 20:45. One of only 2 occasions that I've been under 21 minutes for 5K.

@Burninlog 2 месяца назад

Love it. I'm a recent inductee to the world of Parkrun. I've only done 3 so far (but 2 in the past 2 weeks!) and I'm eyeing off 25 minutes as my initial goal. Currently nearly 4 minutes shy of that, but at age 54 I have quite a bit of catchup to do. I find pacing myself to be near impossible at this stage, so I've downloaded a training plan (thanks, Running Channel!) and hope that'll help!

@wolvz7081 2 года назад

I did that park run by accident just before the first COVID lockdown. Me and a mate were heading for the Severn crossing bridge parkrun but due to the flooding the bridge we were going to us was closed. Fortunately this run was close (ish) to the bridge and we made it there with seconds to go by sprinting to the start line. The moment we got to the group the race started and we had to run back up the same road we sprinted down. Needless to say didn’t get a PB nor crossed to Severn but still another Tourist PR done. Well done 👏 and welcome back Parkrun. Been too long.
