Morning Run: Newbiggin parkrun
@steevc just finished a 5.01km run, that lasted for 29 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 327.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
We are back in Northumberland again and so I had to do the parkrun for the third time. It was a little chilly with the wind coming off the sea. People were huddled at the start with a guy shouting that others should get out of their cars. It's all good humoured.
The first stretch is flat, but I tried not to go off too quick as I knew the 'slight incline' was coming. It is a bit of a climb and you have to do it twice. I just tried to keep going. You run around at the top before heading back down. The second lap starts by the finish.
It was not too bad, but my slowest here. It was quicker than last week on my flat local run. I needed a coffee to warm me up. It's a good way to start the weekend.
Run free.

Ooooh I bet that first turnaround is a bit disheartening with the finish line in sight, right there!
My other half doesn't like doing laps. You get to see who is way ahead of you. This one is not too bad really

I can run and briskly walk for 5.0 km, but I currently don't have time to run. I miss running, but I can't wake up early in the morning because I tend to sleep late. I have a Strava account, but it's been inactive for a while now.
Good luck on your run!
You have to make time for whatever you want to do. Running is part of my life now.
I am not whether I would be able tp run 5 km in 29 mins :)
Well I do run a fair bit. Do what you can.
Back in my running days (long ago) I went to a coffee shop before my run and had a couple of espressos. Then went for a run. I think it was the most effortless run I've ever had in my life. I felt like I was gliding along the running trail. It was awesome!
I've never been able to repeat the experience, but it still remains a very fond running memory.
That may count as an illegal stimulant! I don't generally have coffee before a run, but maybe I should try it.
LOL. I think a shot of espresso is mild in comparison to truly illegal options. If you happen to give it a try, please do let me know how it turns out. Cheers!
