Polishing parkrun Performance
Say it Plainly Challenge
1. Refrain from staying on Vocal ‘til long after midnight…
Alarm shrills seconds later… causing a fright!😳
2. Fuel up on a speedy, snack
Prevent those glucose levels getting out of whack.
3. Quickly, quickly… don’t be late
Fellow parkrunners will not wait!
4. Crisp, breezes waft… birds chirp aloft.
5. Remember to stretch those calves…
Others sure won’t do things by halves.
6. Smiles and chatter…
7. Visitors made welcome
Dogs’ feet patter
Babes gurgling in strollers, join in the bedlam.
8. Hustle to the start…
watches & phones are prepped.
10. Record the racing heart and ‘blistering’ pace kept.
Yes… here we go!
11. Overtake all who are too slow.
Silent breathing begins to labour
Just got passed by my neighbour!
12. Ear pods blast, keep the beat fast.
13. Top of the hill for a photo…
“Always run then”… that’s my motto.
Jog… walk… plod.
14. The finish shoot looms…
Arms swing, strides stretch, heart rate zooms.
15. Think it was a PB?
Maybe… we shall see.

Parkrun is a free 5 km weekly, community event held worldwide… you can run, jog, walk, volunteer and or spectate. It is a highly inspirational, social event which helps improve your mental and physical wellbeing.
Why not give it a go… even if for no other reason than to accumulate numerous, humorous, unflattering photos of yourself?🤗
