"Park run volunteering yesterday. I'm quite vocal when I marshall and also take speakers and subject runners to my taste in music... Anyway 2 women who haven't been running there long told me that they love when I'm marshaling as I'm so enthusiastic. I was quite pleased with that, I fear most of them think I'm a but odd! ![]() ![]() Well done on volunteering. It's an absolutely vital part of parkrun. Which reminds me, I need to put my name down... And well done on the half! That's a fantastic time! | |||

"WEEK FORTY-FIVE!!! . MOTTO: We run #LikeAToddlerChasingAPug . . . Hey lovely Fab Crap Runners! It's Week Forty-five!!! . .worked my way up to aeven miles. Very tough lots of hills but pleased to say although slow I did not stop pleased to be able to do it at 50 . How is everyone doing? . . . EXPLANATION AND ETHOS: EVERYONE is welcome in the Fab Crap Runners' Club (the crapper the better). From 1st January, a bunch of Fabbers began improving their fitness through running. None of them were natural athletes but they did it anyway. . . . FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS: "Couch to 5k" (C25K) is a nine-week running programme for absolute beginners, available on various free phone apps (Mrs T used Get Running). But you can join this thread to get fit by any means including walking and cycling - all are welcome. If you're expecting to be utterly crap at it (I mean reeeeeeeeeally bad), you're in the right place. Join the thread, tell us what your aim is and we'll cheer you on each week, just for trying. . . . FOR MORE EXPERIENCED RUNNERS: Tell us what you’re up to with your running, your training and your races. Let’s us know your highs and lows. Please cheer on the newbies and give advice if they ask. . . . FCRC SOCIAL PARKRUN I am doing a doodle poll to find out where everyone can get to with ease before organising the next social. https://doodle.com/poll/77nghmke7uwunrwy Again, it's completely anonymous and you can vote for as many options as you would like. Hopefully the regions are self-explanatory (Sorry if you think your county should be in a different region!) . . AND FINALLY: Who is working towards a specific goal? Tell us your progress" ![]() | |||

" Carrot or Stick, I don't mind! I need to lose 25lbs, and go from parkrun to 50 miles by next April. Help!!!" Have you ever done anything like this before? 50 miles is a massive step, you can go from next to nothing to being able to get around a marathon in that time frame but that sorry of distance takes a lot of conditioning, mental as well as physical. You need to learn how your body reacts to running on (very) tired legs, how it feels when you use all your glycogen and your brain is doing it's best to make you think you're dying in an attempt to stop you. Best advice is to do your long training runs on tired legs, so a hill session or speed work the day before - or even that morning. Training for the first 20 miles is easy, it's training for the last 20 that'll be tough ![]() | |||

I wouldnt really disagree with anything you say, the further you go, the more of a mental game it becomes. I preferred long b2b runs to get that tired leg feeling though, rather than speedwork, was doing 32/16 mile weekends at my peak, which seems a hell of a long way off at the moment. I will get there though!! | |||
