Clitheroe Castle Parkrun - Great Place For a Hill Training Session…😂😂😂

On the tourist Parkrun trail again today and as the weather had been wet all week, went for Clitheroe, an all-tarmac course of 5 laps around the castle grounds. Sounded great until I started running - you'll see😂😂😂

Tough course

[@AndyCliffMTB]

That’s for sure Anthony, thanks for watching the video😊

I dont understand km pace 🙈😂

[@AndyCliffMTB]

I suppose you’re either a miles or km person, and you stick with that😊

[@theaverageparkrunner]

I know what you are doing wrong. It's those 1k warm ups. You are turning 5k into 6k. My rule is , don't run until you have to 😂

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Thing is, I’d stopped doing warm ups😂

[@theaverageparkrunner]

@@AndyCliffMTB I have never done warm ups or stretches or anything. Apart from once a few years ago when I injured myself and couldn't run for two months. So none of that pre run stuff for me, just walk to the line and go. On the odd occasion I have been late and had to jog to the start , it always gives me a slower time so I've never agreed with the mantra that warm ups help you run faster. Maybe for elite athletes but not for mere mortals.

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@theaverageparkrunner That's interesting Paul, coincidentally there's an article in Runners World this month about warm ups. They concluded that warm ups combined with dynamic stretching gave the best performance, I suppose it depends on how fast you want to go, and how easily you get injured etc.
