Parkrun plans
PARKRUN PLAN
Sound the tentative parkrun klaxon! With our fingers crossed that it’s back on the calendar, this backbone of the UK’s running community is the perfect 5K to aim for whether you’re starting out or hoping for a PB
Yes! It’s what we’ve all been waiting for. With any luck, parkrun has returned by now and our Saturday mornings will feel almost like normal. Maybe you’re looking forward to the social side of the weekly 5K, or need the motivation to get out of bed and start the weekend with a run. Or maybe you’re keen to see your times get quicker over the coming months.
The plans we’ve written here will see you including a Saturday parkrun – or just a local 5K – in your weekly schedule, with the aim of improving your time over the eight weeks. But getting your parkrun time down is not just about the training; there are several other factors to consider so you can run smart as well as fast.
