"I had a decent weekend of running. 10km race on Sunday, still struggling and not felt well all week so planned a steady run at 9.30 pace and finished pretty much bang on 54 minutes. Saturday was my 50th parkrun, which I walked in an hour with 2 of our regular volunteers who were celebrating their 50th birthdays, the tail runner was somewhat bemused when at the end of our first lap we all stopped and brought coffees before carrying on! And yesterday I helped at a local triathlon, 100 miles in this heat - ouch!" Ouch indeed! I’m sorry to see that you’re still finding it tough | |||

Heart race and pace were about what I;d expect on Friday, although there was a typo on the last post as it was 58 minutes! | |||

"So how is everyone getting on with running in the heat?" Used the treadmill tonight, spent too much of the winter in the gy, to avoid the cold and now their air con is dragging me in! Ran 4 miles home from work yesterday and it was bearable but couldn't do too much more. Even hydrating well it was tough! | |||

"So how is everyone getting on with running in the heat?" Loving it, leave runs a little later for cool air, but it is a long old winter, always love the sun. Trying to enter races later in the year...some sold out already ! | |||

"Hi everyone
I'm back from doing the coast to coast, over 200 miles (walking with all the camping gear) and i did the 3 Yorkshire peaks yesterday! I'm jiggered but will look at getting back on with my running, probably have to start at the beginning again
Missed you all, hope the running's going well
Welcome back and very well done x x x"Thank you | |||

"Walking & in particular hill walking is very complimentary to running, builds strength & resilience, so should help you along.." Thats what i thought till i tried to beat my time on the Yorkshire 3 peaks, it killed me off, again! and reminded me that i didn't want to do it again and hopefully i shall remember that i hate it so much that I'll never do it again lol | |||

"I’ve set myself the challenge of running every day this month. 12 days in and 12 runs done. 50+ miles in the bank and over 5,000 feet of elevation. It’s been quite tough in the heat at times
That's fantastic - the heat I can (just about) cope with, but hills
Most people don’t realise that Devon is basically just a load of hills and some coastline "I do know that. I lived on Dartmoor for six months! | |||

"A year ago I decide that I was too big and fabulous and started running. My 5K parkruns started at 45 mins, now they are down to 27 mins. At end of June I did my first half Marathorn came in at 2hr20min. Still got lot more running to do, want get my 5k parkruns to under 25min by end of the year." Well done! That's fantastic | |||

"How far out from your race are you? If you are 3 weeks up you may be over stretched hence the illness , take a break, enjoy the rest, you are more likely to regress than progress by carrying on & not getting fully well. Remember we actually improve when we rest & recover, not whilst running." The race is in October so I’ve got another 3 months yet. Like I said; I’m far ahead of my programme so I’m not worried about that. I guess it’s just a bit of maranoia | |||

What are wicking clothes? "Wicking clothes take the sweat away from your body. Cotton t-shirts can feel hot and heavy after you have been running a while. They also prevent chafing. | |||

"Hi all, I’ve just found this thread. I used to run a few years back and have a half marathon best of 2hrs 3 mins....then I got lazy...and heavier. I started running with some colleagues earlier in the year and we did a C2-5K. Currently doing parkruns at 30 mins and did the Liverpool spring 10K (very hot day) in 1 hr 7. Building back up to a half and targeting 2 hr 30 at Manchester. I couldn’t do it without the runners at work encouraging me. If anyone local to Liverpool fancies joining me on a run then I can be found at croggy or princes parkruns, or waddling around Sefton Park at a weekend. Hopefully I will keep improving as I still have another 2 stones to lose xx" Welcome. You sound the same as me, half pb of 2 hours 12, then stopped running and got fat and lazy. Restarted last year and have finally got back to comfortably running 6 miles (at least I'm assuming it will be easier on cooler days!) Keep going and keep up the good work
I am planning another parkrun social soon, it's likely to be in the Midlands (Bedford area), so if you are able to make it, that will be great | |||

"First run post-injury yesterday and I've somehow lost about 5 mins from my time. Absolutely gutting because I was just about feeling ready to get into some form of competitive running. It's just postponed my plans rather than completely ruined them though. Hopefully be able to get something done before the end of the year. " Remember to take it easy if you are coming back from injury! When is the race you have planned? (the one you thought you would do originally). You may find that you bounce back to form quicker than you think. Or use it as a feeler with no expectations so you know what to expect on the big race day. | |||

"I think I can now join this thread - I started running/sweatily fast jogging a few weeks ago and as of a bit ago I am now registered with park run and attempting my first one next Saturday! Slightly worried about it and expecting to be crap but I'm going to give it a good go and probably cry after." Welcome and well done
it can be a bit daunting going to your first parkrun, but I'm hoping that everyone at the parkrun will give you support and you won't want to cry afterwards! Have a word with the run director before the start (get there about 10 minutes early for the newbie and visitors briefing) and they can keep an eye out for you and give you encouragement around the course (depending on the number of people there!)
Where are you based (general location rather than actual parkrun)? | |||

I'm in Cheshire East. | |||

You can have music when running, just make sure it's not too loud so you can't hear the other runners around you (especially if it is a lap course and you get faster runners coming through behind you ) | |||

There’s a lovely (although with a few little hills) parkrun at Delamere forest, and you can get a drink/food afterwards too. | |||
