Got off a 9 hour shift today and was only planning a short and slow 5k but just in case I wanted to go a little thurther I got my hydration pack ready and a sis gel lucky I did but it wasn't the distance and that hurt but the heat as it was still 22 degrees I was a right sweaty mess.

@RenFengge I have haven't entered any yet but will be at some point main reason I have a few half marathon races coming up which aren't a problem but I need to train so I can get a decent time but with the heat in the UK at the moment is a problem. 

[slamminbones 1,794]

It's been just over a year since I ran a half distance and I knew I would struggle but not this much but the heat was unbelievable. 

Out again hopefully tomorrow morning for a 10k+ that is if I'm not in any discomfort

While down Cornwall on holiday I managed to hide some running gear so I could get out but I was only going for a short run but some how I got lost 😂 so I saw another runner and asked him if he knew where par camping was which he replied he was going that way 10 minutes later he asked was it par village which I said no he said sorry mate you've gone the wrong way then a local sent me the wrong way by hey ho added to the distance.

This Parkrun is a little hilly but still a decent time. 

It's my 2nd Parkrun which is quite shocking due to how long I've been running but once you get to 50 you get a t-shirt so something to work towards but parkruns are only on a Saturday. 

Their timings are off a little compared to mine.

Ran this bitch of a trail in road running shoes 😂which turned out to be more slipping than running. 

I stuck with another runner that drove us up there but I'd definitely do this course again if I had the right pair of trainers.

It's been a long time since i got a PB but tonight's conditions were perfect a nice cold chill in the air no wind so put a pair of shorts on and a t shirt but was only going to do 5k then decided to go the little bit more.

My 3rd ever park run. 

 

Postion 84th out of 369

Gender 69th out of 217

Age group 14th out of 36

 

Also got my 2nd fastest 5k at 22.48.

They had pens for you to start it based on your 5k time I should of been in the 2nd pen but started at the back as I went up with 3 others from the club I run in so had to run through alot of other runners so got held up alot but maybe I should of started at the front which the 3 I went up with did tell me too but didn't want to seem a dick as one drove up but they all came in separate times but maybe next time I will listen to them.

After a little break which I wish I never took my youngest wanted a sub 30 for 5k which was the only motivation I need to get out there.

Think I killed him 😅 but he was well happy with his time 

[slamminbones 1,794]

For as long as I can remember the out side of my shoes wear down turns out I suffer with supination so I've been given exercises stretches and have to wear insoles to try correct it also been advised to either run less or slow down which is sod's law as my time has improved massively but hoping once its corrected I won't be in any pain after walks/runs.

 

[slamminbones 1,794]

I should of used trail running trainers not my road as this was along the coast and cliffs but with a little more training and proper foot wear I would like to get to barry island and back which will be around the 40km mark but as I'm sorting my life out now and getting back out there I'm back to enjoying running again.

[slamminbones 1,794]

Didn't plan to go this far but once I'm not achey and have recovered planning the same run and route and hopefully push it to 30k but will be taking water this time.
