Polishing parkrun Performance

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.
